ОглавлениеWHAT TO PUT IN YOUR FREEZER
| PASTA & PASTRY | Fresh ravioli, tagliatelle and spaghetti, wanton wrappers; puff, filo and shortcrust pastry all live in my freezer. Cook the pasta from frozen and thaw pastry for a couple of hours before needed. |
| MEAT & FISH | Everything is fine in the freezer, but do double-check how long you can keep your meat and fish in there before using it. Look out for freezer bags of prawns – I love these. Take as many out as you want and it’s much cheaper than buying fresh every time. |
| READY-TO-GO | We all have nights when taking a meal from the freezer and heating it through, then snuggling down in front of the TV, is the only viable option. For those days, my go-to ready-made meals are prepared dim sum (which survive the trip from freezer to plate much better than you would expect), gnocchi, soup and pre-prepared gravy in zipper bags, cooked Bolognese and portioned lasagne, stew and ragu ready to heat up. Every time I make a dish, I make double. |
| ICE CREAM | PLENTY OF IT. |
A NOTE ON MEAT, FISH, EGGS AND DAIRY
If I can be pushy on any point, it is here. Please, please buy British farm-assured free-range and organic meat, eggs and dairy and responsibly sourced fish. Although our country has a high standard of animal welfare, sometimes things fall through the cracks of system. It can cost more, but it doesn’t have to be a lot more – especially if you plan your meals and use cheaper cuts of meat, such as chicken thighs or wings, beef chuck and oxtail.
