Food and cooking tips

Buy Seasonal Food : If you're eating foods out of season, it's likely that they have come a long way - try to eat food that is both locally produced and can be found at that time of year, locally!


Buy Local Food : Check out farmers markets, roadside farm stands and tailgate markets (where parking lots are temporarily transformed into areas of commerce), and don’t be afraid to ask questions about where the food is grown.


Buy Fairtrade Food : The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.

For a product to display the FAIRTRADE Mark it must meet international Fairtrade standards. These standards are set by the international certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).

Producer organisations that supply Fairtrade products are inspected and certified by FLO. They receive a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and an extra premium that is invested in social or economic development projects.
  • Find out which fair trade products are available at which supermarkets
  • Get involved in fair trade campaigns.



Cook safely

Never leave your cooking unattended. Even if the phone or doorbell rings. Remember - fires start when your attention stops.
If a deep fat frying pan catches fire don't move it (it could give you terrible burns).

Ingredients And Procedures

6 ea Fillets, 8 oz each

1 ea Onion, large, thinly sliced

1 ea Lemon, large, sliced thin

1/8 t Thyme

1/2 ea Bay leaf

4 T Butter

2 t Flour

2 t Butter

Mix together the 2 tsp flour and 2 tsp butter; reserve. Butter generously a baking dish large enough to hold fish. Arrange fillets, covering with onion and lemon slices, season with salt and pepper, thyme and add bay leaf piece. Pour in 1-1/2 C Champagne.

Thicken beating over double boiler or over low fire. Cool sauce quickly when done. Spread over fish and serve. Recipe date: 12/11/87
