| 6. Don't Overcook Vegetables
Don't overcook your vegetables. You'll lose many essential vitamins. Along with those essential nutrients, you'll also boil away much of the flavour!7. Chopping Onions
To stop you crying while peeling onions, poke your tongue out. As strange as it seems, the chemicals in the onions head for the nearest source of liquid!8. Buy What is in Season
Wherever possible, buy fruit and vegetables that are in season. They will be cheaper and invariably fresher and more healthy since they are less likely to have been forced to ripeness or stored for long periods of time. |
9. Buy Local Produce
If possible, buy local produce. It will be fresher, you are less likely to be bolstering supermarkets' enormous profits, and you will be supporting local producers. You are also likely to be cooking with far healthier, less contaminated ingredients!10. Balance Your Proportions
For a healthy meal, nutritional balance is important. By and large you should seek to achieve a balance of 50% vegetable, 25% protein and 25% carbohydrate for a healthy meal.11. Food Hygiene
It may seem obvious, but pets and food hygiene simply don't mix. Bottom line - don't keep pets in the kitchen!12. Try Roasting Vegetables
Roasting vegetables is simplicity itself. It is quicker, simpler and far less messy. Roasted vegetables are also exceptionally tasty! And apart from anything else, you won't be boiling away all the goodness! Give your family a real treat. Next time you do the Sunday roast, roast your vegetables as well. You can roast virtually any vegetable, but carrots, parsnips, onions, turnips and swedes are ideal roasted.

13. Food Preparation
It is imperative that you keep raw and cooked foods separated at all times. It is particularly important that you keep raw meat and fish away from cooked products. Cross-contamination could lead to food poisoning!14. Cookery is Fun
Cookery is fun. The more you learn, the more fun you will have. The more fun you have, the greater the skills you will acquire. With those skills will come the knowledge that will help you and your family eat more healthily. But if you need help to acquire those skills, there is plenty of help at hand.
