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?


Buy Organic Foods : Organic food helps protect the planet.
Organic farming ensures that bio-diversity remains available in the foods we eat and the wildlife that live on the farms.

Fruits and vegetables are naturally available in 100's of varieties. Commercial growing limits the variety of each food available by mass producing only a handful. Many species of birds, insects and other animals are affected by the chemicals and farming conditions used in growing commercial foods.

Organic farms grow a mix of crops and promote a balanced ecosystem including insects that protect crops from pests and worms and other micro-organisms which fertilize the soil.

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index weight loss regime is based on the gi index, a list of types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the glucose and energy in the food type gets converted to sugar in the dieters system. The claim is that slow release food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satiated for longer and help you to consume fewer food without feeling hungry.
It's also very efficient for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in controlling surges in glucose amount.

Ingredients And Procedures
Ingredients
1poundpeanut butter, smooth
1poundsugar, powdered
1cupbutter (2 sticks, save the wrappers)
1teaspoonvanilla extract
12ozchocolate, semi-sweet (1 bag chocolate chips)

Directions:

Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water or the top of a double boiler. Make sure you don't get even a drop of water in the chocolate. Stir frequently with a spatula while doing the following steps and remove it from the hot water just as soon as it's melted.

Melt the butter. Mix together the powdered sugar, the melted butter and the vanilla. Don't bother sifting the powdered sugar. Just stir everything together with a wooden spoon until it's smooth and creamy. Stir in the peanut butter. This will break most flimsy wooden spoons if you're not careful. Mushing everything together with your hands works well and is lots of fun.

Press the fudge into a buttered 8 or 9 square pan. You don't need much butter, just wipe the butter papers over the inside of the pan. You can also line the pan with foil and butter that; this works especially well if you're making several batches in a row to give to people as holiday presents. Press the fudge in firmly; you don't want any air bubbles in it. You will get your hands messy here.

Pour the chocolate over the fudge and spread it in an even layer. The easiest way to do this is to shake the pan gently until the chocolate is even. Let the chocolate cool to room temperature. DO NOT PUT IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR.

Using a sharp knife cut the fudge into 1 inch squares. If you defied my instructions and put it in the refrigerator, the chocolate layer will shatter when you try to cut it. Unless you are going to serve it immediately, store it in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature before serving.

Notes: An extremely rich candy. The results resemble Reese's Peanut butter Cups that have attained Nirvana. Don't scrimp on the peanut butter; get the best you can find or make it yourself. If there's anything besides peanuts and salt in it, find another brand.

Unless you use the foil method, you will inevitably destroy at least one piece getting it out of the pan. The best method is to line the pan with foil, let the fudge cool, lift it out, peel off the foil, put it back in the pan and cut it. This keeps it from sticking to the pan. If you try to cut it out of the pan, it tends to fall apart.
