Fresh herbs

If you’re not able grow your own in your garden or on a windowsill, then pots of growing herbs are a handy thing to have in the kitchen. They can really lift a dish with their differing flavours, not to mention provide added goodness. If you buy bags of cut herbs, a handy tip is to put them in a sealable freezer bag/sandwich bag with a splash of water and store in the refrigerator. They last far longer than if kept in the bags they are sold in.
