De-Clutter

My number one piece of advice for cooking at home is to get rid of all the clutter you don’t use from your worktops. It will improve your workflow and reduce your stress. Trying to prepare food while moving ornaments and pieces of kit you haven’t used in months is a pain in the bum. I always keep my worktops as clear as possible. All the appliances and equipment I don’t use often go in cupboards or on top of the fridge, stored away until needed.

My other top tip is clean as you go; wash your dishes as you go, keep tidying as you go and by the time you sit down most of the hard work is done and you can enjoy your meal without that horrible feeling of, ‘Uh oh, I have a huge mess to clean up after this!’
