General kitchen advice

Buy Local Food : It’s easy to take locally abundant foods for granted when they’re in season, but you can enjoy many locally produced foods out of season by stocking up. Storing big baskets of hazelnuts (in the Northwest) or pecans (in the Southeast) will come naturally if you start thinking like a squirrel. Look for foods that keep well, such as nuts, honey, winter squash and sweet potatoes and stock up.


Buy Local Food : Begin by taking baby steps, such as committing to spend £10 pounds a week on locally grown foods.


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.

Ingredients And Procedures

3/4 lb Lamb steak, cut from leg

1/4 c Red wine

3 tb Red-wine vinegar

1 ts Rosemary, dried

1 md Garlic clove, crushed

1 tb Mint jelly

Remove fat from lamb. If the piece is thick, cut it in half lengthwise so that each piece is about 3/4 inch thick. Mix red wine, vinegar, rosemary and garlic together in a small bowl. Poke several holes at varying intervals in the lamb. Place it and the sauce in a zipper-lock bag to marinate for 20 minutes. Turn after 10 minutes. Heat a medium-size non-stick pan. Remove lamb from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Reserve marinade. Brown the meat in the hot pan, and saute 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and cover with foil to deep warm. Add reserve marinade to pan, making sure it comes to a boil. Scrape up brown bits in bottom of pan and add mint jelly. Heat to serve with sauce spooned over top.
