Healthy eating begins before food reaches the table at Terrace Green Hotel’s Salt restaurant 

At Terrace Green Hotel’s Salt restaurant, healthy eating begins long before a meal reaches the table — it starts with mindful food preparation. 

The way ingredients are selected, handled, and cooked determines not only flavour but also nutritional value and long-term wellness. 

Using fresh, whole foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and fibre supports digestion, boosts immunity, and helps maintain balanced energy levels throughout the day. 

Preparing meals with minimal use of processed ingredients, refined sugars, and saturated fats reduces the risk of chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

Cooking methods

Equally important is the choice of cooking methods. Steaming, grilling, or lightly sautéing preserves nutrients that are often lost through deep-frying or overcooking. 

Attention to portion size and the inclusion of colourful fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins ensures that meals remain both balanced and appealing.

Healthy food preparation is also an act of care — for oneself and others. It encourages awareness of where food comes from, supports local producers, and fosters a sustainable approach to eating. 

Ultimately, preparing food healthily transforms eating from a routine necessity into a nourishing ritual that sustains body, mind, and community, reinforcing the essential link between good nutrition and overall well-being.
