Cooking Tips & Techniques

1. Vegetables:  Steam, water sauté, or roast your vegetables.

2. Spice up your food – add herbs and spices to your cooking.  Adding fresh rosemary, chopped cilantro, chives, or parsley helps enhance the flavor and reduces the need to add fat.  You can also add fresh crushed garlic to your vegetables.  

3. Roast a bulb of garlic and use it like you would butter.

4. Use aromatics – scallions, bulb onions, ginger, garlic and lemongrass.  They add flavor and aroma to foods.

5. Choose vegetables from all categories – eat the ones you like and try something new.

6. Use extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper for dressings whenever possible
