<strong>Organic</strong> Cooking<br />
Well what is organic cooking? This term refers<br />
to cooking done with all organic ingredients<br />
using the best of the organic food to create tasty and very<br />
healthy dishes. This is possible today, because in many places<br />
all over the globe, people are waking to the requirement of<br />
consuming organic food. The market is now promoting diet<br />
foods, low fat foods, etc. However, these are not at all necessary<br />
if we eat good organic food and we eat in moderation<br />
everything that we get in our daily routine. There are many<br />
ways to promote good organic cooking and the next few lines<br />
will attempt to describe a few simple ways:<br />
Use normal salt not the standard iodized salt that<br />
we have been using for ages. Use instead natural<br />
sea salt or fleur de sel and notice the difference in the food<br />
you are eating. The flavor of the food is far enhanced by this<br />
simple addition.<br />
Have a kitchen garden behind the house or side<br />
where you can grow your own vegetables the<br />
whole year round. A small 8x10 patch can cultivate sufficient<br />
vegetables to last a family of 4-6 the whole year. In this way<br />
you not only save some cash, you get to eat your home-grown<br />
vegetables which are guaranteed to be fresh.<br />
Use only organic ingredients like vegetables,<br />
fruit, and all other ingredients like butter,<br />
herbs, etc. It is splendid to know that you can consume only<br />
fresh ingredients which have been hand-picked for you lunch<br />
or dinner.<br />
Do not use the microwave as the microwave can<br />
distort the taste of the vegetables or fruit to a<br />
great extent; in order to really check this fact, you could really<br />
use your microwave to cook something and then you<br />
cook the same thing on an open flame. Taste and mark the<br />
difference in taste; the taste on the open flame is far more<br />
flavor-full than the one cooked in the microwave.<br />
Use organic butter, milk and other related ingredients<br />
as there is a marked difference between<br />
butter that is produced out the milk of cows that have only<br />
grazed on grass; and those cows which were treated with hormones<br />
and food fertilizers.<br />
Use easy techniques to cook organically and improve<br />
on the taste of the food while still maintaining<br />
the nutritional value of the vegetables on the fire; you<br />
need to take care and reduce the water content slowly enhancing<br />
the flavor while ensuring that nothing is really wasted<br />
into the air or water in which the vegetables are cooked in.<br />
Do not use any additional preservatives. Whenever<br />
you need a preservative you should only<br />
use natural preservatives. Also whenever you need something<br />
that requires preservation, use the natural way to do, so with<br />
ingredients like lemon juice, salt, sugar, honey, etc. In this<br />
way you can have your food preserved and it will last as long,<br />
or may be longer than the chemically preserved ones and you<br />
are now assured that you are consuming only the goodness<br />
of the earth.<br />
