DIY and Ditch the Take-Out

Fewer of us these days have the time and patience to prepare our own meals. We inevitably rely more on unhealthy, packaged meals and take-out. While 'doing lunch' is an integral part of business, there are indeed times when even the busiest business owners could benefit from eating fresh food at home. If this seems like an impossibility, the new phone app, 20 Minute Meals-Jamie Oliver, might change your mind. As they say, you are what you eat and in order to stay on top of your business game, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

For those unfamiliar with Jamie Oliver and his culinary skills, he's a renowned British chef with numerous best-selling cookbooks. He has most recently campaigned against the use of processed foods in school programs. His antipathy towards unhealthy diets and poor eating habits is so well known he is sometimes referred to as 'The Naked Chef'. At $7.99, this app costs the same as your typical appetizer and offers 55 recipes with step-by-step instruction. Some of its key features include:

· Pictures and video for each recipe

· Create your own shopping list which you can add to and then edit

· Covers soup, pasta, fish, stir-fry dishes, select vegetarian meals, desserts, curries

· Shake the app to get a random recipe

These tutorials are great for visual learners and are easy to navigate while you cook. The days of the simple cookbook look numbered after experiencing the advantages of cooking from your iPhone. In just twenty minutes you could be enjoying a savory dish you yourself prepared in the comfort of your own kitchen. So if you're the type who's always tied up with your business phone system, now you can schedule a quick lesson from a gourmet chef whenever and wherever you want.

Eating right can be immensely valuable and not just in the most obvious ways. When we eat healthy, we feel better about ourselves and in turn are provided with the confidence that's required in today's competitive business environment. It can and probably will be challenging, but the best things in life often are.
