For those who want to cook in a healthier way and with many nutritional benefits, here are some tips to follow:

• - Invest in a multifunction electric pot
• - Cook vegetables with a piece of low-fat broth cubes
• - Use a spray for oil
• - Replace potatoes with zucchini to thicken purees
• - Substitute fats with liquid soy or almond cream
• - Replace, as much as possible, butter and oil in desserts with a tablespoon of nut puree (almond puree, for example)

To reduce the caloric intake of dishes, start by replacing the richer foods with lighter ones. For example, you can substitute whole milk with lactose-free milk, butter and cream with yogurt or 0% white cheese, flour with potato starch or cornstarch, and sugar with sweetener or fructose. Although the latter has as many calories as sucrose, its sweetening power is greater, which means it can be added in smaller doses. It is recommended to be careful with the use of sweeteners in cooking: it is complicated to dose. You don’t have to systematically replace it; just reduce the amounts of sugar and fat in your recipes by half, and that’s enough. The taste does not change too much, and your dish will be less caloric.
