5 Ways To Healthier Cooking
Add herbs, spices, and fruit juice for flavor:
Add herbs and spices to savory dishes so that you don't need salt or sugar. Use vinegar,
fruit, or shredded citrus peel to accent the flavor of fish and meat recipes. Serve
grilled meats and poultry with simple homemade salsas instead of salt, prepared sauces, or
gravy. Replace the flavor lost when you cut down on fat by adding more fruits and
vegetables to casseroles and stews. They will boost the vitamin and fiber content as well
as reducing the need for seasoning. Spice up pasta dishes with a dash of Parmesan cheese.
Cut back on the sugar in baked goods by mixing in fruit juice, nuts, and seeds instead.
They add texture as well as flavor.Cooking For Health: Yogurt - Dietary Benefits
The making of yogurt probably originated in Asia and Eastern Europe thousands
of years ago; a response to the need to find a way to preserve milk beyond the first few
hours after opening. With this came the discovery of its many dietary and medicinal
benefits. It is now used in many differing and exciting ways, especially on the continent,
from marinating, to use in side-salads and curries. The British are generally more
conservative in their use of yogurt, but it is quickly becoming a very popular dessert or
accompaniment to breakfast cereals and is with the increasing trend towards healthier
eating, it is at last being recognized and is gradually being used in an increasing
variety of dishes. |

Tip of the week
Cooking:
Use a pair of scissors instead of a knife for cutting hot vegetables like
chilies and also leafy greens like spinach, celery, coriander, etc. Your work will get
done much faster. Take care to use a clean, non-rusty pair used only for kitchen purposes.
Health:
For healthier sautéing, try the microwave. Place chopped or cut vegetables
into a microwavable container with about 1 tbsp. of water, chicken broth or vegetable
broth. Cover and microwave on high 2-3 minutes or until tender. The vegetables 'sauté' in
the liquid - no butter or oil necessary.
Cookery term
Chop:
To cut vegetables into very small pieces with a sharp knife or
chopper. |
