Eco Kitchen: Dairy

posted by: Joan Vine | on: Monday, 22 May 2023, 09:20


Dairy products not to be wasted

Dairy products are all the foods made from milk. Not eggs, even though eggs are often associated with dairy products they are a separate entity altogether, so I will deal with eggs in the next Eco Kitchen. Dairy products consist of milk, cheese, butter etc. Lots of dairy products are thrown out each day of the week, so to be eco-friendly we have t ... read more

Eco Kitchen: Fruit

posted by: Joan Vine | on: Friday, 14 April 2023, 18:09


Fresh Fruit, so good for you.

I honestly believe that if we could look back at stone-age peoples’ diet we would find that, apart from the odd animal that was caught, cooked, and consumed, most of their food would come from forests, bushes, trees, hedges and fields. After all, fruit might drop but it can’t run so anything growing would be easy to pick and eat… ... read more

Eco Kitchen: Salad

posted by: Joan Vine | on: Friday, 17 March 2023, 19:51


Salads are so good for you.

Salad! Do you eat salad vegetables daily? Or do you only put out a dish or bowl of salad if you are expecting company? Fresh salad vegetables are wonderful, beautiful, refreshing and extraordinarily good for your health. Another great thing about salads is the fact that because they are so low in calories you can eat masses of salad without the con ... read more

Eco Kitchen: Vegetables

posted by: Joan Vine | on: Friday, 17 February 2023, 10:37


Veggies: So full of goodness.

For our introductory Eco Kitchen I offered a general chat about the purchase and storge of our precious food. Food prices have risen sharply over the months and I am sure you will agree when I say that none of us can afford to waste our money.
