Skye CHAN - Using Healthy Cooking Methods and Serving More Vegetables
Skye prefers healthy cooking methods such as steaming, braising and poaching and adds less oil, salt and sugar. She reckons that by mixing and matching fresh ingredients, everyone can come up with an array of ever-changing and inventive recipes.
Skye and her family members consume less meat and plenty of vegetables. To encourage her sons to try out more foods that are rich in nutrients, she likes to prepare colourful and flavourful dishes with a variety of vegetables. Skye also puts a lot of thought in getting her sons to enjoy healthy ingredients they may not like, such as Chinese yams and lily bulbs. To prevent her children from becoming picky eaters, she includes yams in the fillings for dumplings and cooks rice with grinded lily bulbs.
Skye eats less meat as she becomes aware of the negative effects on health brought by animal fats as well as the pollution arising from livestock farming. She hopes that more restaurants will join the “EatSmart@restaurant.hk” Campaign to provide more healthy and delicious food options for members of the public.
