If you are keen on learning the basics or even advanced cooking recipes created by professional chefs, the best and simplest way to ensure your practical education in this field of the culinary arts is by viewing healthy cooking demos! At times, many get confused with the instructions given in cookbook or the language is not something familiar to regular use besides the lack of visual and audio sync that cookery shows offers, which makes the viewing and learning an easy and enjoyable process for the beginner cook! Probably the reason why the picture’s worth is considered equal to a thousand words and therefore the popularity of tuning in to healthy cooking demos is increasing too!

Well, that said, what is left to do is watching healthy cooking demos; you have a choice of renting a show, attending one or buying a healthy cooking demo version you like. At times, an expert cook you admire may be visiting and you can get to learn their techniques and secret recipes first-hand by attending the show. Those with more cooking experience can consider sharing their wealth of knowledge in a specialized cuisine area by holding healthy cooking demos in their locality besides benefiting from making additional income out of it!

However, if you are smart and have the time, you can search for free healthy cooking demos that are also available with a bit of effort; some resources for these free of charge shows are at vendor expos and exhibition of cookware products. The advantage here is you learn about the various types of utensils and appliances used for top class healthy cooking and also get to pick up new and varied recipes! By watching healthy cooking demos, you stand a better chance of learning how to use a new cookware product or tool along with picking up meal-planning and preparation tips.

Besides the above mentioned advantages to viewing healthy cooking demos, the scope for recording these and viewing them at leisure further enable a student-cook to understand an expert chef’s method and techniques for preparing and presenting exotic or regular food, which is in-depth study at your convenience. Even the live cooking demos enable you to record or play-back certain segments while pre-recorded tapes in the market are an anytime cooking aid for those keen to try the same dish demonstrated by the chef at home. Some feel it’s like having a personal cook teaching professionally the culinary arts we love to indulge in.

Thus, one finds that by paying attention to the methods and approaches to healthy cooking, demos and online shows can provide loads of useful information on cooking methods and recipe ideas for the learner besides boosting menu choices for you as each chef has a personal way of demonstrating the same recipe, bringing their personal touch to the dish.

Almost everyone overeats and under exercises at Christmas. Yes, thin people do it too. So don’t feel you are a failure if you have put on a few pounds. And if you want to change your shape, starting off a new regime in midwinter is not easy.

If you are in Australia, no excuses, I know it is your summer! For the rest of us, a better time to transform your life is the spring when the days start getting longer, the sap is rising and the buds are bursting etc. It’s much easier then to be energetic about change.

But it’s a good idea after the holiday to do a mental ‘detox’ and decide what you are going to do differently this year. Perhaps you did that at New Year but somehow when you got back to work in January you lost the plot a bit.

So here are some pointers to keep you going in this year.

* Resolve now to get back to healthy eating. Smaller portions, not too much stodge, plenty of water, plenty of salads, veg and fruit. Starting today, give way or throw away your unhealthy food. Better off going to waste than going to waist.

* Watch what you drink too - fruit juices may be high is sugar, fruit drinks (fruit juice diluted with water and sugar) are even worse… and alcohol may add unnecessary calories. If you can stick to just one glass of wine, fine, otherwise stick to water.

* Get some exercise. Find a safe way of exercising for the weather in your locality. Aim to do several days a week, not just when the mood hits you. Set yourself a realistic starting target and stick to your plan. Exercise only works when you do it - sitting thinking about it is less successful! Exercising in ice and snow can be dangerous so you may have to work out in the gym or dig out the exercise video. This is better than nothing - and when the weather improves you will not have lost your fitness, so go to it!

* Set a goal to build up your health and fitness level, not just to lose weight. Between January and March if you eat sensibly and exercise regularly you’ll be building up your muscles and getting your metabolism going. When the spring sunshine does arrive you’ll have shaken off the winter sludge and be ready to zoom into summer!

Doing the weighing and measuring will give you the motivation you need to get you started. Get on the scales, get out the tape measure and know just where you are. Now build on that and determine to be fitter and healthier by spring.

It helps if you can be accountable for the changes you are making. Tell your best friend, find a weight loss buddy or be accountable to your personal trainer or weight loss coach. One of my clients is running in the London marathon so she has made a decision to be accountable for her fitness - what are your goals for this year?
