Food and cooking tips

Microwave Tip : Use your microwave as often as possible in the summer. You'll be more comfortable and save on air conditioning costs.

Most food, from fruit to fish, has a season -a time when it is abundant and at its best. Knowledge about food's seasons was once essential to survival and became culturally ingrained over the centuries. Today, we have all but lost this accumulated wisdom. Does this matter, in an age where technology can bring us anything we want to eat, whenever we want it?

Our survival no longer depends on our knowledge of nature's cycles, but there is much to be gained from getting back this lost wisdom. Regardless of technology's advances, the fact remains that food in season is the best. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.

Safety in the kitchen

Keep electrical leads from trailing over or going near the cooker.
Consider having a fire blanket in your kitchen, mounted on the wall where you can get to it instantly.
