Useful tips

"It is very important to always buy fresh products and food."

There are many simple but specific techniques to prepare and cook vegetables.

In order to keep the vitamins and nutrition’s of the vegetables and make them more appetizing we always suggest cutting them in to small pieces (e.g. small squares) and cooking them for a short time in a pan or steamer.
But the real secret is to quickly cool the vegetables after cooking them; the fast change of temperature allows sealing of their goodness. So while cooking the vegetables we suggest to prepare a bowl filled with cold water, preferably add some ice cubes to maintain the cold temperature. This will also help to maintain the colours and the fragrance of the vegetables making your dish more appetizing.
Cooking meat, fish and vegetables:
When there is boiling water it is essential to place a porcelain plate on the top of the saucepan. This will reduce the loss of the goodness.

Cutting the vegetables: This is very important! The vegetables should always be sliced vertically the Julienne way. For example if the vegetable is round like a potato or carrot, cut it in half and lay it cut side down on the board. This will keep it from rolling.  Cut the edible part of the vegetable into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Cut around the seeds if necessary. Cut there slices into even strips ¼-inch thick.
This type of cut is important at it respects the balance of the vegetable and the nutritive values.

Cooking meat:  in order to keep the tenderness and the high protein content of the meat we suggest cooking it at high temperature in a non stick pan. The high temperature seals the meat and stops it from releasing its juices keeping the meat nice and tender
