General kitchen advice

A local veg box shared between friends is a few quid a week, and the perfect way to slash your food miles while eating good food. So if you're self-catering at university why not try a doorstep delivery from one of the many veg box scheme providers?


Oven Tips : Switch your oven off a few minutes before your food is ready - it will stay hot enough to finish cooking the food.


Try Eating Raw Food : You need a balance of three basic food groups as most of your diet:
  • sweet fruits (apples, oranges, berries, melons, etc.)
  • green leaves (dark lettuce, kale, collards, spinach, etc.)
  • raw plant fats (avocados, olives & their oil, coconuts & their oil, nuts & seeds, durian)
    • Eat lots of sweet fruit, lots of green leaves, and some fat (as dressing, pâté, hummus, etc.). Add vegetables as desired, and sprouted grains and legumes occasionally. Try fruit for breakfast and snacks; greens, veggies and fat for lunch and dinner.


    Cooking safety

    If a deep fat frying pan catches fire turn off the heat if it's safe to do so - but never lean over the pan to the controls.
    If the deep fat fryer oil starts to smoke don't put the food in. Turn off the heat and leave it to cool.
