Practising and Promoting Healthy Eating

Liza has developed healthy eating habits fora long time. She eats a balanced diet every day, which mainly consists of tofu, gourds and vegetables. Attaching great importance to healthy cooking, Liza adheres to the principle of using less fat or oil, salt and sugar. While some ingredients in vegetarian dishes are relatively light in taste, Liza insists on not using MSG in her dishes to avoid adding extra sodium (the main component of salt). For Liza, the key to cooking is to spare more effort to understand the characteristics of different ingredients. She illustrated this concept with the example of cooking tomatoes. She explained, “Cooking a tomato until it is 70% done helps retain its moisture and enhance its fresh flavour. There is then no need to add a lot of sugar to cover the sour taste.”

Treating Guests like Family

Treating her customers like family members,Liza places great emphasis on the nutritional values of the dishes. Apart from containing less fat or oil, salt and sugar, the dishes must be outstanding in terms of appearance, aroma and flavour to give customers both nutrition and satisfaction. When talking about her biggest wish, Liza said, “I want to retain the fresh flavour of the ingredients and cook healthy and delicious dishes for young people, just like a mother taking care of her children.”
