General kitchen advice

Buy Local Food : Strawberries, blueberries and many other kinds of fruit often are available from farms that allow you to do the harvesting (or not, if you prefer to pay for the cost of picking). Many fruits are easy to freeze, and apples will keep all winter in a cool corner of the garage.


Buy Seasonal Food : 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, but it still matters! Buy local and seasonal to guarantee the best quality food you can get.


Diet types

The Atkins’ Diet
Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it supposedly allows weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg meat and cheeses.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, diet.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The logic behind the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to change into energy, it is the carbohydrates that are burned first. If we take in less carbohydrates, we will utilise our fat and we will reduce weight. Although inviting, this theory is controversial, not all doctors agree and a good number of feel it can sometimes be unsafe.
