Food and cooking tips

Making your own lunch instead of buying from a sandwich shop saves on packaging, and could also save you approx £4 a day or £1,000 per year!

Oven Tips : Cook with the oven door closed. A partially open door wastes energy, costs you money, and warms you instead of the food.

Buy Local Food : Cultivate an awareness of how far your food travels. When Rich Pirog, Food Systems Program Leader for the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, tracked the miles traveled for 16 types of produce, he found that locally sourced fruits and vegetables such as apples, lettuce and tomatoes traveled an average of 56 miles, compared to 1,494 miles — nearly 27 times farther — for the same fruits and vegetables delivered through conventional retail channels. Things get stickier with combination foods, strawberry yogurt for example. Pirog came up with 2,216 miles by adding up the distance traveled for the yogurt’s milk, sugar and strawberries. That figure could be slashed by 90 percent if you buy plain yogurt and stir in some locally grown honey and fruit.

Ingredients And Procedures

--- ENOUGH SMOKE FOR 4 ---- ---- CHICKEN BREAST ------ 2 tb Raw brown rice

1 tb Brown sugar

4 Whole cloves

Tea leaves from 2 earl Grey - tea bags, removed from - packets 1/4 ts Olive oil

2 6oz boneless skinless

- chicken breasts Take 3 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil 15 inches square and start rolling the edges under to from a circle that fits in the bottom of your Dutch oven -- in our case, a foil saucer approximately 5 inches in diamerter. When the edge is rolled to about 1 inch high, stop and flatten it. Then, depress the center to hold the smoke ingredients. In the depression of the aluminum foil saucer first sprinkle the rice, then the sugar, cloves and the contents of the tea bags. The order of ingredients is very important. Place the foil dish in Dutch oven, cover tightly and cook over high heat until ingredients in the foil start smoking ~- about 5 minutes. Brush a steamer platform with the olive oil. Place the chicken on platform, skinned side up. Put into Dutch oven over the smoke ingredients, cover and continue smoking over high heat until done -- about 11 minutes.
