Easy Healthy Cooking Ideas!
Chefs who specialize in healthy cooking have learned to modify existing recipes to make them lower in fat and cholesterol. This is a skill you can develop too. Here are some tips that will help you make your favourite recipes healthier.
• Substitute low salt and low fat chicken broth for oil or butter when you sauté vegetables.
• Use lower fat dairy products. If the recipe calls for whole milk, for example, you could probably substitute a product that has significantly less fat. The same goes for cheese and yogurt.
• Choose leaner cuts of meat. For example, if you need ground meat, try to find a butcher who can provide you with low fat options.
• Learn to replace fat and calories with other flavours. Use fresh and dried herbs and spices so that you do not miss the fat.
• Replace the fat in baked goods for other ingredients such as apple sauce. Apple sauce often works as a substitute in things like cakes.
Those are just some tips. A good thing to do is to follow a few healthy recipes to get a feel for the different ingredients that are used. Once you are
comfortable with the ingredients, you can start to modify your own recipes.
