HEALTHY COOKING TIPS

• Try to eat fish at least once a week - it's one of the healthiest and lowest-fat proteins around.
• Remove all excess fat from beef and lamb and remove the skin from chicken, because this is where most of the calories are hiding.
• When grilling or roasting, place the food on a rack over the roasting pan so that the fat can drip off during cooking.
• Steam vegetables in a colander over a pot of boiling water, so that all the nutrients aren't lost in the cooking water.
• Stir-fry veggies on a high heat with stock or water and a little oil.
• Sauté onions, garlic or meat in a little bubbling stock, wine or water instead of using oil or butter.
