Three Cooking Tips of the week:

1) Colour means Flavour. When cooking meats for a stew, pie, casserole or spaghetti sauce, always brown first using oils such as Olive, Grapeseed, Canolla - Never vegetable. This is particularly useful when using chunks of meat, and whilst turning and browning, you can use small splashes of wine as well if you choose. Do this at 3/4 to high heat.
2) Wine - Red or White? Most people generally think of red wine for cooking, however, white is a better fit for pork, poultry, seafood and vegetables. I make Sugo's (spaghetti sauce) with mainly pork and always use white wine - Generally Sauvignon Blanc.
3) Cooking White Basmati Rice. Always rinse uncooked rice in cold water first before you place in the pot. Never cook all the way, leave it slightly undercooked as the heat will continue to cook the rice and therefore can often become soggy if cooked all the way. Try adding 1x star anise and 2 cardamoms in your pot- adds a nice flavour.

Due to the corona virus we decided it would be best for all concerned to stop eating and drinking out at restaurants and pubs. We made this decision a while ago, for reasons of health and safety for our family, friends and good neighbours.

The governement has now made the decision to close all establishments here in the UK - which is the right decision for all concerned.
