Healthy Eating

Did I mention that I've moved into an apartment in Beirut?

The thing about having an apartment instead of staying in a hotel is the freedom. When it comes to food, I have now the choice of not eating out everyday.

Although on most days while eating out, I opt for green salads. Sometimes, I would like to have hot food. It is becoming a bother because most of the commercially prepared hot food are pastas, burgers and subs, which are greasy and high on carbs and sodium.

So now I can try to do some of my own cooking. And the Kenwood steamer FS360 comes to the rescue. It comes with:

  • Three or two transparent basket layers allow multi food steaming eg fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, puddings, rice, eggs
  • Oval basket design for optimum capacity

  • Removable easy clean stock tray retains the nutrients for use in stock, gravy etc

  • Inclusive 1.2 litre rice bowl for cooking rice, various marinated food stuffs or deserts within steamer




I like steamed food. It's guilt free eating with all the natural flavours and nutrients preserved and takes less time to prepare.

Wow, that looked really, really nice! Ever tried a solar cooker by the way? Also cooks really healthy... Works well in Niger!

Esther Garvi,

I thought you were pulling my leg. But after googling, I realized that indeed solar cookers exist. Now I'm hoping to try the quality of the food it cooks.

Cheers!
