Food Hacks

How To Roll Pastry

How To Roll Pastry

I’m back with another kitchen hack. This time I wanted to share my little trick for rolling pastry or biscuit dough without getting flour all over kitchen. Before I had worked out this hack, I used to avoid making pastry because of the mess. Flour would always manage to be spread all over the kitchen…

How To Freeze Herbs

How To Freeze Herbs

Our basil was super late growing this year. Earwigs ate the first lot of plants, and the second lot took a while to get going. We even ended up buying several batches of basil to cook with because we didn’t have any in the garden. At long last however, the basil plants are full of…

5 Pieces Of Kitchen Equipment I Cannot Do Without

5 Pieces Of Kitchen Equipment I Cannot Do Without

I’m not a big user of kitchen gadgets. I don’t have a rice cooker, or a juicer, or an icecream maker, or anything like that really. My mother lent me her slow cooker earlier this year, because I thought I might use it. It wasn’t useful enough for me to justify the space it took…

How I Make My Own Mozzarella

How I Make My Own Mozzarella

One of the things I love to do is make as much of our food as possible. We make our own sauces, jams, pickles, and preserves. We grow our own vegetables and fruit and freeze the left overs for later. We slaughter our own meat and have even made our own sausages (and have plans…
