Most Cultured Vegetable Cooking

We are so lucky with the abundance of vegetables everywhere, until now.

Since I was small, I saw that the most favorite, most bought, most cooked and most eaten vegetables are green leaves, tomatoes and beans. I used to jump at the back of the truck with my brothers so we can go with Dad to buy baskets and baskets of vegetables, particularly, shallots and tomatoes.

Then I would see my Dad cooked some of the vegetables in syrup and put them in bottles. I realized that was preserving vegetables so we don't run out out veggies during the winters. Today, I have seen how modernization has upstaged the old ways of preserving vegetables, fruits, the making of jellies and jams, and delicious fruit preserves.

I thought these plant-made vegetable preserves are the best, but I was wrong. The old-fashioned canning and preservation has still been considered the most preferred and most cultured process of cooking and preserving vegetables.

Eating crunchy and delicious vegetables has never been easier with my own garden which I call my greenhouse! ...and not just that, I also have enjoyed preserving veggies and fruits. I think this is my biggest share of green!

Preparing Your Meat

These coming holidays, there sure would be baskets and baskets of meat in your kitchen. How you prepare your meat is very important, and since meat is food, it conveys health.

When it comes to meat preparation, most people trust the folks with great notoriety in preparing meat. We have known this from the beginning, and when it comes to big events, we always call for these meat “specialists” for cooking a variety of dishes.

To make sure you handle your meat with care, here are simple tips to follow:

Always prepare your meat with care by washing your hands properly with a good soap and preferrably hot water. Make sure to wash all utensils, containers, chopping boards before and after preparing any type of meat, especially pork. Thaw meats first in the refrigerator or microwave before starting to cook. After defrosting, immediately cook the meat. In marinating meat, discard leftover marinades and never reuse them. Use a separate surface in cutting vegetables. Do not use the same chopping board you use in cutting your meat.

Beef, pork, poultry and fish meats have something important in common, they are rich in protein. Although the amount and quality of the protein in these foods vary, it's the animal foods that contain the high quality protein necessary for the human body.
