Food and cooking tips

Buy Local Food : The most local food of all comes from your own garden. Plant a new garden, enlarge the one you already have, or extend your growing season by using row covers and cloches.


Buying an Oven : If you need to purchase a gas oven or range, look for one with an automatic, electric ignition system. An electric ignition saves gas-because a pilot light is not burning continuously.


Buy Local Food : Check out farmers markets, roadside farm stands and tailgate markets (where parking lots are temporarily transformed into areas of commerce), and don’t be afraid to ask questions about where the food is grown.

Prepare the grill. (Alternately, the swordfish can be prepared in a hot skillet and cooked for 3 minutes per side.)

In a shallow dish combine the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano and salt and pepper with a fork. Place the swordfish in the dish and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and chill while preparing the cucumber sauce.

Coarsely shred the cucumber onto a clean cloth and squeeze to extract the liquid. Transfer the cucumber to a bowl and stir in the yogurt, mint and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to use.

Grill the swordfish for 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on thickness of steak. Transfer each swordfish steak to a roll and top with cucumber sauce and watercress or arugula. Garnish with lemon wedges.
