Do you know the difference between the various cooking techniques used at your favourite restaurant or café? When you look at a menu, it’s not just about the ingredients they list. The cooking style used can indicate whether it’s a healthy option, or if it includes additional high-calorie ingredients such as oil.

It’s important to understand the different cooking techniques, as it allows you to make informed choices about what you’re eating.

In an ideal world, the festive season would be a time of awesome presents that everyone loves, perfect weather and peaceful downtime. But life rarely matches up to the holiday montage. And if you’re unprepared? The season is more likely to leave you feeling stressed, overwhelmed and unwell.
