Hints and tips for a healthier Valentine's Day.
Don't let Valentine's Day be a recipe for disaster when you are cooking dinner for your special someone.
Avoid food poisoning this Valentine's Day by reading some helpful advice from the Food Standards Agency. The FSA's advice can be found online at the Eat well website and includes cooking and defrosting guides, advice about preparing food safely and the safe storage of leftovers.
Oysters are very popular at this time of year but before you shell out at your local fish counter make sure you don't choose any open oysters that don't close when you tap them.
Food, health & safety officer, Christian Polzin said: There is nothing romantic about being sick on Valentine's Day. I would advise anyone who is preparing food to take care and follow basic food hygiene advice.
Valentine's Day is also a popular time for eating out or buying takeaway food. Before you fork out, why not have a look at the food hygiene star ratings for all of the food outlets in South Kesteven. The star ratings can be found online by clicking here
