If you are new to cooking from scratch, try to keep meals simple to start with. If time is an issue, prep your meals in advance, for example, you may measure out your ingredients the night before, or practice batch cooking.
The freezer can be an important extension to your store cupboard. Did you know you can freeze herbs, fruits, and vegetables? These can be very convenient to grab when you need them, and can help you cut down on food waste!
Always keep ingredients for a few staple meals in the pantry and freezer so that there is a meal just 30 minutes away. This may include dried pasta, quinoa, rice, lentils, canned tomatoes, frozen veg, herbs, spices, and olive oil.
We hope we have inspired you to give cooking from scratch a go!
