Your fried eggs don’t have to be untidy – cut some bell peppers widthways and use the slices to hold eggs as they cook. You end up with neat eggs and effortlessly add veg into your meal.
Roasted vegetables
Soggy veg? The secret to properly roasted caramelized veg is to cook the produce on a baking tray, spaced properly apart (too close and the veg steams), coated in an oil with a high smoke point such as sunflower oil, at a heat no less that 260°C (500°F).
Fava (broad) beans
If you prefer shelled beans but always end up with thumbache from this laborious process heat them first. Boil them a rolling heat – you’re not trying to cook them but expand the shell. When they look fatter, drain the beans and put them in iced water to stop the cooking process. Drain once more then you’ll be able to pop out the tender insides.
Cherry or plum tomatoes
Cutting them individually is time-consuming, but it doesn’t have to be. All you need to do is put the tomatoes on a plate, place another plate the same size on top and press gently but firmly down. Then, using a sharp knife, slice through the tomatoes between the plates.
Ginger
If you use a knife to peel ginger, the knobbly nature of this root means you lose a lot of ginger. A way to prevent this is to scrape the skin off using the back of a teaspoon – it’s surprisingly easy and prevents waste.
