Making Great TeaMy parents worked in the tea industry way before I was around, so I trust them more than any other source when it comes to making great tea.

Salt Preserved LemonsThis is a super easy, super useful recipe for preserved pickled lemons. Although they are best known as a staple Moroccan ingredient, used in dishes such as tagines and couscous. Since I began making them a few years ago I have found myself using them in all kinds or recipes up to an including washing off the salt and chopping up the lemon zest to pop into my famous rich Christmas cake (a desperate moment but it worked absolutely fine and I now do it on purpose).

 

Pull Herbs Through GraterThis is a fast way to separate herb leaves from their stems. Poke the bottom end of the fresh herb stem in a hole on a grater, then pull on the stem. The herb leaves will be saved on top, while the stems gather on the work surface. Use the smaller grater holes for smaller stems. This is great for fresh herbs like parsley that are time consuming to separate.
