General kitchen advice

Our survival no longer depends on our knowledge of nature's cycles, but there is much to be gained from getting back this lost wisdom. Regardless of technology's advances, the fact remains that food in season is the best. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.


Buy Local Food : If you were to turn back the clock 100 years, what would gardeners in your area be growing? Try regional heirloom varieties of garden standbys such as beans, squash, tomatoes and melons, which were selected for their flavors and reliability in the days when personal survival often depended upon a garden’s success. Appalachian “greasy” beans or creamy New England-bred butternut squash can help open the door to great flavors from the past.


Dieting 101

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not specifically a weight loss diet, although many people discover that they reduce weight when following it.
The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if you control the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is a lot more wholesome than other diets, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears believes that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, as a consequence, does not build up fat.
The most interesting process of the zone system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6.
