Cooking Light Recipes

Latest research has shown that minerals and vitamins are far more effective than they were formerly thought to be, and that some foods and nutrients help fight sickness and sicknesses.

Fruit, plants, grain and seeds are now not only loaded in minerals and vitamins but also consist of a compound called phytochemicals which build up our immunity system to battle illnesses. This does not mean we become complete vegetarians to remain healthy, but turn to cooking light recipes when cooking non-vegetarian dishes.

Choosing Green and Light

Cooking light recipes are nutritive and easy on the digestive system. The less we cook our green veg the better it is for our health. Soups, masses of green salad, juices and whole bread sandwiches are healthy. Soups excite appetite and at the same time nourish and fill you up. Mouth watering soups are turned out by selecting the right sort of plant and spice.

Tomato, spinach soups are loaded in minerals and vitamins. Most spices have medicinal properties. A dash of spices in our cooking adds flavour and taste to the food. Cooking light recipes which include spices and ginger and extraordinarily minimal amount of cooking oil do gigantic good to the body. Fresh salads mixed with a spoon of honey and a dash of salt and pepper is heavenly.

A little further experiment with pieces of orange and pieces of mango and garnished with nuts added to the above makes a healthy salad in 2 mins. For a filling meal, use pasta mixed with chopped and shredded plants which are partly boiled. Add herbs, and toss with olive oil.

 If it looks like a sandwich you're looking for, go in for wholeweat bread with lots of fresh partly boiled veg stuffed in it. For the sweet tooth, fresh fruits with fresh juice, honey and yogurt is a better alternative to ice creams or candy. Use carrots to sweeten sauces. Grate carrot, cabbage, cucumber and raw mango, top it with yogurt with a touch of salt, and there you have the lightest of recipes. Use seasonal fruits to make pudding. Cut up apples, bananas, plums, pears into a bowl. Boil for a jiffy, custard powder added to cold milk. When this mix thickens, pour into the bowl of fruits, and permit to cool down.

There you have got a healthy and a light pudding. Next time you head for the kitchen, bear in mind that basic and easy foods are hassle free.
