Some kitchen skills come up again and again, so it’s worth getting them right once and for all. I’ve grouped my practical guides here by theme, so you can quickly find the tip you’re looking for.

Getting your vegetables ready — Before you can cook, you need to know how to prep. You’ll find my guides on preparing and cooking sorrel, how to prepare and cook artichokes, and how to cut leeks without any grit left behind.

Baking essentials — A few techniques make all the difference between a recipe that works and one that doesn’t. I’ll show you how to whip egg whites to perfection, how to melt chocolate without ruining it, and how to make homemade chantilly cream.

Prepping ahead and freezing — Because there isn’t always time to do everything last minute, here’s how to freeze shortcrust pastry, freeze homemade croissants, and reheat quiche without drying it out.
