Tips

About the ingredients:

For frying, I usually use canola or olive oil.

It's best to avoid sunflower oil, because its ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is very unfavorable.

Target: 1 to 1 to 5 to 1

  • Canola oil: 2 to 1
  • Olive oil: 9 to 1
  • Sunflower oil: 311 to 1

#plasticfree:

  • These days you can buy spaghetti in cardboard boxes almost everywhere.
  • And well-stocked supermarkets sell mushrooms loose.
  • I usually buy parsley at the greengrocer, who always has it in bunches on display. In regular supermarkets, parsley usually only comes wrapped in plastic.
