The rules are simple:
Eat only natural food that is produced locally. If not local, then from your district. Eat seasonally. Spices, tea and coffee are the only items that should have a passport...

Easy food takes less than 30 minutes to make but is nutritious as well as delicious. The longer you cook food, and the more you change it, the unhealthier it becomes.
You shouldn't buy processed food and you certainly should make it!

Dried citrus peel

I like using citrus peel to flavor many dishes, especially I like yuzu citron.

Unfortunately, each type of citrus is only in season for a few months if you get them locally, and buy organic ones. I don't like to buy imported citrus from the supermarket. And wax coated fruit that has a long life is really not good for you.

One way to enjoy the flavor and fragrance of citrus is to use the peel. Actually, the peel contains most of the fragrance and taste because that is where the oil is.

To dry peel:
- finely grate, grate or chop only the colored part of the peel
- don't use the white part (pith) because it is bitter
- lay the pieces flat in a dish and put it in a sunny window
- keep it in an airtight jar with a silica gel pack
