5 minute makeovers
Add some tarragon leaves to your sausages while cooking, it makes a subtle but sublime difference. Serve with caramelised onions.
Add a sprinkle of paprika and chilli flakes to your vegetable soup
Easy but impressive garnishes: shred long chillies and 5cm lengths of spring onions (the white bit) but leaving the tops attached. Soak in a bowl of iced water so that the ends curl up.
Freeze berries and other fruit in water in ice cube trays to serve in summer drinks
Slices of lemon and sprigs of fresh mint in water jugs
Sifted icing sugar can hide flaws in cakes and other desserts hehe. As can drizzled chocolate.
A quick and easy chocolate sauce – melt dark chocolate over a hot water bath, and stir in cream and a dash of your favourite liqueur.
