I hung them up on the fridge, if it makes it to the fridge you know you have done something good. But then the question was put to me, "Why ... read more
Cook Once Eat Twice

It's such a simple idea, every time you cook a wet dish, like a curry, tuna mornay, spaghetti bolognaise, any kind of pasta bake, lasagne, make more than you know you will need for tea, and freeze what's left for tea one night next ... read more
