Cooking tips

Have a Local Food Party : Instead of counting time or distance, simply enjoy the pleasures of local food by organizing a potluck meal in which everything must be local. Keep your fingers crossed that someone will splurge on handmade goat cheese, and don’t forget some local wine, beer or juice. If you’re organizing a big catered event, the Society for Nutrition Education has a downloadable brochure to help you line up local food resources.

Buying an Oven : If you need to purchase a gas oven or range, look for one with an automatic, electric ignition system. An electric ignition saves gas-because a pilot light is not burning continuously.

Oven Tips : Fan-forced ovens cost 35% less to run than a conventional electric oven.

Kitchen safety

Keep the oven, hob and grill clean. A build-up of fat and bits of food can start a fire.
Keep electrical leads from trailing over or going near the cooker.
