WHY WE LOVE ALL-IN-ONE COOKING All-in-one recipes might be cooked on the stovetop, in the oven, in a slow cooker or even on the barbecue, but they all have one thing in common: besides the occasional assistance of a bowl or jug, they’re all cooked in one pot, pan, tray or slow cooker. This way of cooking makes mealtimes more fuss-free. While we have plenty of speedy recipes in this cookbook (like our cheat’s gozleme on page 62), all-in-one cooking lends itself very well to slow cooker dishes and make-ahead meals, too, which is very convenient for busy family lives. All-in-one cooking makes mealtimes easier, because you don’t have to keep track of what’s happening in multiple pans. TRAY BAKE HOW-TOS Baking trays have a large surface area, so it’s easy…

hummus vs taramasalata caviar dip WINNER: hummus Two favourite dips: hummus is made from chickpeas and tahini, while taramasalata contains pureed fish roe. Brands vary, however taramasalata tends to have marginally fewer calories and a little more fat. The extra energy in hummus comes from the protein – it has almost twice as much. It also has double the iron and calcium, and half the salt. Taramasalata tends to be made mainly from refined vegetable oil and wheat or potato (many brands only contain around 10 per cent fish roe) with added thickeners, colours and preservatives. Choose a quality brand or, better still, make it yourself so you know exactly what you’re getting. Pistachios have about 10 per cent fewer calories than pine nuts, as well as 30 per cent…

Michelle Q How do I stop my pasta sticking together when I cook it? A lot of people think if you add oil to the water it will stop your pasta from sticking together, however this isn’t the case. The oil sticks to the pasta and gives it a coating, which then stops it from absorbing the flavour of your pasta sauce. Your best bet is to use a large saucepan, even a stock pot, filled with plenty of water that is boiling rapidly. Add plenty of salt as this will enhance the flavour of the pasta. Then slowly add the pasta and stir to keep it moving around in the water. Matt Preston has a great tip I use, which is to add a large glass of cold water…
