Mindset
Objective
- having a more realistic yet easier to manage model of what efficient nutrition should be
- physiologically,
- financially and
- ethically.
Cooking methods
- raw > vapor > boiled > grilled > roasted > baked > fried > panned
Current diet
- about 3L of water (excluding beverages like coffe or tea)
- vegs/fruits
- nuts
- cheese, yogurt or milk nearly every day
- stay as low as possible on animal products, just what is required and delicious (meat/fish about once or twice a week)

Conservation
- Épinards Conserver les épinards dans un torchon humide ou un sac de plastique perforé dans le bac à légumes du réfrigérateur.
- Brocoli Au frigo, le brocoli vit deux jours dans le bac à légumes et 4 jours s'il est maintenu non lavé dans un sachet plastique.
How to preserve for some days cooked food in a jar
- wash carefully a glass jar, then pour boiling water in it and turn it on a cloth to dry a bit
- put the stuff in while is warm (not very hot though)
- fill the jar almost to the top
- the last half a cm cover with oil
- pass some oil on the lead and close it very tightly
- turn the jar upside down and wait until it gets cold
- you'll see the the lead slighly vacuued down
can stay some days outside the fridge (depending on the food you cooked - peppers are the worst, highly fermenting- and the air temperature)

Why cooking faster matters
You have to always get a little bit of pressure to cook faster because it makes you gain efficiency in order to either
- make complex dishes when you dont have a lot of time or
- take more time to make even more complex dishes
