Soup for two
from Freyda
In a two-person household, veg can often go to waste - you might just need one stick of celery for a recipe, and have the rest of the bunch slowly rot in your fridge. Monday night is leftover veg night in our house - one of the easiest ways to get rid of it is roughly chop it all up, sizzle in a little bit of oil for 5 minutes, add some stock, leave to simmer for 20 minutes and then blitz into a thick, chunky soup.
Using up pickle juice
From Kim
When all the pickles are gone from the pickle jar, save the juice for use as a marinade for beef or fish. Or add the pickle juice and garlic to a tomato & white wine reduction sauce for a delicious and unique pasta sauce.
Saving space in the freezer
From David Rogers in Banbury
Save space in your freezer by using freezer bags instead of rigid plastic tubs for things like bolognaise, soup, pasta sauces. It looks a bit wierd but they defrost perfectly well and the bags can be washed and re-used.
