Mindful cooking: The right formula

摘要

Choosing what to eat for dinner used to be simple, but now making the right choices can be a fraught affair. Being mindful about how you cook makes a positive contribution towards a better food system as well as making you feel great Once upon a time,buying and cooking food was easy, and required little thought other than what to cook for dinner. Modern intensive farming systems and global food production have changed all that. These days you need to care about where your food has come from, who hasproduced it and how it's been produced. To cap it all, we've now got to worry about how much carbon and energy we're using. Which brings us neatly to the new boy on the cooking block - low-carbon cooking. It might sound a bit strange, but until recentlyit was effectively the norm. In fact, I prefer to think of it as common-sense cooking.
