Here are a few of the bits and bobs I've picked up along the way. If you have any good ideas and would like to see them on here, get in touch. It's great to hear from you!
When making a shepherds pie, if you can cook your meat earlier in the day or the night before it will taste better and be easier to put together with your mashed potato topping.
When spooning the mashed potato on top of the meat start from the out side and work into the middle, this way all the meat will stay in position and not up the sides of your dish.
When making a sponge cake always sift in a rounded tablespoon of flour over the creamed butter and sugar before adding your eggs. This will stop any curdling and separating of the mixture and allow you to fold in the flour much easier.
