Every Last Bit
Always shake our pasta sauce bottles out with ¼ cup (60 ml) of water to dislodge everything, and add it to the sauce.
PASTA SAUCESFor Best Results
Don’t boil spinach in water! Best to briefly steam, microwave or flash fry.
BROWSE RECIPESMeatballs
Meatballs should be soft and moist throughout. The flavour of the meat must be prominent, underscored by the sauce.
Some of my secrets to successful meatballs include:
- Use a little gelatine powder in the mix.
- Mix everything lightly.
- Pre-roast the meatballs first, before adding the sauce.
- Finish the dish, with the sauce added, in the oven, for a final 20 minutes.
Stock, Gravy & Sauce Powders
When using stock, gravy, and sauce powders, dissolve them in a small amount of warm water before adding them to your dish. This helps the powder blend more smoothly and evenly, preventing clumps and ensuring a consistent flavor throughout your dish.
POWDERED PRODUCTSMake Them Last
Rinse salad leaves in water to which you have added 2 T (30 ml) of vinegar. Spin dry, wrap first in absorbent kitchen paper and then in a thin plastic bag.
Store in the vegetable drawer of your fridge.
FREQUENT QUESTIONSMarmalade
- Best to use early season just ripe fruit which is still rich in pectin.
- Weigh the sliced fruit and use 3 cups (750 ml) water for every 250 g fruit. Boil open until the fruit is soft.
- Add ± ⅔ cups (160 ml) of sugar to every 1 cup (250 ml) of fruit liquid. Start testing after an hour.
- Freeze 2 - 3 empty saucers to use for testing.
- Test for the pectin content on a chilled saucer. If a spoonful of the “jelly” wrinkles on the cold saucer when pushed with a finger, after standing for about 3 minutes, the marmalade is ready.
- Boil open until ready.
Cook With Skins
Instead of peeling vegetables, give them a good scrub with a Green Foam scrubbing pad, (kept specially for this purpose) in a bowl of water to remove all surface dirt. Steam or cook as required. There are lots of valuable nutrients directly under the skin and, if desired, the skin can easily be pulled off after cooking.
BROWSE RECIPESBake Mixes
When using bake mixes, always sift the dry ingredients before adding any liquids. This ensures an even distribution of ingredients, prevents clumping, and results in a lighter, fluffier baked good.
BAKE MIX PRODUCTSJuice Extraction
Roll the lemon vigorously on a hard surface before slicing it. This bruises and breaks up the membranes of the juice sacks, releasing the juice inside the lemon.

New Recipes
Slowly but surely, the way in which we present and serve food – either at the family table or for more formal occasions – has changed.
The idea of mezze-style eating has taken the food world by storm. It basically means placing all the dishes on the table (except dessert), allowing people to help themselves. They are now in control of personal taste and portion size. The meal is often enhanced and extended with flatbreads.
On a practical level, mezze-style eating saves washing up and makes serving a breeze.
