Cooking advice

Oven Tips : Fan-forced ovens cost 35% less to run than a conventional electric oven.


Buy Seasonal Food : If you're eating foods out of season, it's likely that they have come a long way - try to eat food that is both locally produced and can be found at that time of year, locally!


Diet types

The low calorie diet

In a nutshell, the low calorie diet states that if you plan to achieve weight loss, it is important to eat fewer calories than your body normally needs.

So what is a calorie?
A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. The 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If something contains more calories, then it will turn into more energy when your body converts it.

Low calorie foods include boiled potatoes, capsicum pepper, apricots, steaks, burgers and chilis, and eggs.

Preheat oven to 350 degres. Slice off the top 1/2 inch of each pumpkin and scoop out the seeds. Bake pumpkins for 15 minutes.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat stock or water to simmering until onions are softened but not browned. Add garlic, sage, thyme, and bread crumbs. Cook, stirring, 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.

Lightly fill pumpkins with stuffing. (Any remaining stuffing may be baked separately in a lightly oiled baking dish.) Bake for 15 minutes, or until stuffing is lightly browned and heated through. Be careful not to overbake the pumpkins, because they will split.

Serves 8.
