As well as buying ready-frozen items, I like to freeze these handy time-savers:

Root ginger: much easier to grate when frozen. Peel 2.5cm (1in) pieces and wrap in freezer film before freezing

Herbs: leftover fresh herbs can be put in strong plastic bags and stored in the freezer. They’re ready for cooking with at any time, so when you need them, just pull off a handful and crumble into the pan – no need to chop

Bread: most bread freezes very well, particularly in individual slices ready for putting straight into the toaster

Stock: freeze stocks in 600ml (1 pint) rigid plastic containers and allow to thaw before using

Galangal, kaffir lime leaves and curry leaves: freeze any leftovers in small strong plastic bags and use straight from the freezer

Pastry: puff, shortcrust, filo and kataifi (for more info see pages 70 and 216)
