General kitchen advice

Oven Tips : Check the seal on your oven door for wear. Even a small tear or gap can allow heat to wander away from your meal. A clean seal also provides better heat retention.


Buy Local Food : Strawberries, blueberries and many other kinds of fruit often are available from farms that allow you to do the harvesting (or not, if you prefer to pay for the cost of picking). Many fruits are easy to freeze, and apples will keep all winter in a cool corner of the garage.


Dieting tips

The low calorie diet

In simple terms, a low calorie weight loss regime states that if you want to get rid of some fat, it is essential to take in fewer calories than your body normally needs.

So what is a calorie?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. The 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If your meal contains more calories, then it will gives you a larger amount of energy when consumed.

Low calorie foods include cauliflower, carrots, water melon, beef, and skimmed milk.
