General kitchen advice

Most food, from fruit to fish, has a season -a time when it is abundant and at its best. Knowledge about food's seasons was once essential to survival and became culturally ingrained over the centuries. Today, we have all but lost this accumulated wisdom. Does this matter, in an age where technology can bring us anything we want to eat, whenever we want it?


Kitchen Tip : On electric stovetops, use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the element. A warped or rounded pan may be a conversation piece, but will waste most of the heat.


Dieting 101

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program initially created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, however many zone diet followers claim that they manage to lose a few pounds when following it.
The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to limit the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is more healthy than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears holds the theory that when your body is in this 'zone' it is much more efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't build up layers of fat.
The key technique of the system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
