Advice about food and cooking for divorced men and women: cooking methods

Anyone can learn to be a good cook, it just takes a little application and a refusal to be intimidated by all the conflicting advice coming from the food industry and others with a vested interest.

Food labelling

Food labelling can a powerful, persuasive and, on occasion, a misleading tool in the hands of those who control the marketing and sale of our food.

Organic versus conventionally farmed

In the zest that you have found in your new life after divorce you are on a healthy eating programme of locally sourced, organically produced food. Aren't you?

Seasonal eating

Buying food produced as near to where you live as possible can cut the distance our food travels dramatically, thus saving valuable fossil fuel and helping keep local farmers and producers in business.

Places to shop

Only twenty five per cent of people in the UK buy their food outside of a supermarket which may be a sign of the times but is a sad indictment of our attitude to food and shopping.

Menu planning and making a list

Without getting too Superwoman, or indeed, too Superman about this, planning meals ahead of time can be a great help for busy working mothers and fathers and for those for whom finance after divorce is tight.
