General kitchen advice

Buy Local Food : It’s easy to take locally abundant foods for granted when they’re in season, but you can enjoy many locally produced foods out of season by stocking up. Storing big baskets of hazelnuts (in the Northwest) or pecans (in the Southeast) will come naturally if you start thinking like a squirrel. Look for foods that keep well, such as nuts, honey, winter squash and sweet potatoes and stock up.


Buy Local Food : Begin by taking baby steps, such as committing to spend £10 pounds a week on locally grown foods.


Buy Fairtrade Food : The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.

For a product to display the FAIRTRADE Mark it must meet international Fairtrade standards. These standards are set by the international certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).

Producer organisations that supply Fairtrade products are inspected and certified by FLO. They receive a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and an extra premium that is invested in social or economic development projects.

Ingredients And Procedures

1/2 lb Spaghetti, linguine or dried

Chinese noodles 1 bn Green onions

1 tb Minced ginger

3 lg Cloves garlic, minced

1 ea Head broccoli

1/2 lb Country sausage

3 tb Soy sauce

1/4 ts Hot red pepper flakes or red

Chili paste

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook 8 minutes, or until barely tender. Trim and dice green onions. Mince ginger and garlic. Gut stems off broccoli and cut head into small florets. Peel stems and cut them into strips about one-fourth inch by 3 inches.

Heat wok or wide skillet over high heat and add sausage. Cook, breaking the sausage up and stirring until sausage is browned. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon fat. Add half the green onions, all the ginger and garlic. Cook 1 minute. Add soy sauce, broccoli florets stems and hot red pepper flakes. Stir over highest heat for about 3 minutes; broccoli is bright green and still crisp. Add drained cooked noodles and toss to combine. Serve hot sprinkled with remaining green onions. Serves 3 to 4.

I would assume that you could use zucchini when in season or try different types of sausage.
