General tips

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?

Try Eating Raw Food : Raw food can help you detoxify, cleanse and revitalize your mind, body and spirit. Raw and Living Foods contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.

Dieting 101

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index diet system is reliant on the gi index, a list showing types of food and an indicator of the speed that the glucose in the food gets changed to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The claim is that slow release food types (ie those foods with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help you to injest less food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also extremely efficient for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in controlling increases in glucose amount.

Ingredients And Procedures

2 lb Boneless kid or lamb

Salt Pepper 3 T Butter

1 1/2 t Ground sage, or

2 1/2 t Fresh sage

6 Juniper berries, crushed

1/2 t Dried mint, or

1 T Fresh mint

1/8 t Ground cinnamon

1/8 t Nutmeg (fresh if poss.)

1 c Dry white wine

1 c Heavy cream

1 T Rum

Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle the meat with the salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a casserole, and add the sage, juniper berries, mint, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Add the meat and brown on all sides. Lower the heat and add the wine. Simmer, covered, until the meat is tender (it took me a little more than an hour with the kid I had). Remove the meat and keep warm. Strain the sauce. Put the sauce back in the casserole, and stir in the cream and rum. Bring to a boil and reduce to the consistency of heavy cream. Return the meat to the sauce and heat through. Serve with dry boiled rice and green peas. (it says here: but I served it with wide homemade egg noodles, and I think that works better than rice would, even if not strictly the way they would do it in Locarno.)
