Simple Tips for Cooking Healthy Meals at Home

Home cooking is one of the best ways to eat fresh, balanced meals. You choose the ingredients, the portions and the flavors.

Start with fresh ingredients

  • Fill your basket with seasonal fruit and vegetables.
  • Choose whole grains such as brown rice, oats and wholegrain pasta.
  • Include lean proteins like beans, eggs, fish and chicken.

Healthy cooking methods

Try steaming, baking, roasting or stir-frying with a little olive oil. Use herbs, spices, garlic and citrus to add flavor instead of extra salt.

Cook a little extra for tomorrow's lunch to save time and keep eating well.

Keep it enjoyable

Cook with family or friends, try one new recipe each week and enjoy your meals at the table.
