Kitchen Tips & Tricks

In this section, I would like to share some of the tricks I use to make my time in the kitchen easier and which bring me many benefits, of which I'll name a few:

  1. I save on cooking time (I boil and freeze, for example, chickpeas or beans that I then cook quickly — slow-cooked beans, reduced peas);
  2. I use many kinds of spices that help me give food a richer taste (because I love greens, I always keep chopped parsley, dill and lovage in the freezer);
  3. I fight food waste;
  4. I ensure variety on the plate (if for lunch I want to make chicken mince patties and don't have time to go shopping, I defrost the piece of meat from the freezer for cooking; if I want a bean soup with lots of lovage, then the frozen beans and lovage from the freezer let me prepare a tasty, quickly cooked soup in no more than 15–20 minutes).

This way, I ensure healthy and varied food for myself — in a quick, tasty and wholesome way!
