Kitchen shortcuts & technique accordion

Make a double batch of tomato or pesto sauce at the weekend. Store 1–2 cups in the fridge for fast weeknight pasta, gnocchi or as a glaze for fish.

Use canned fish, leftover roast or pre-cooked legumes to cut cooking time. Quick sear or warm through with a bright dressing before serving.

Oils, vinegars, tinned tomatoes, good stock, quick grains and a jar of pickles will make any simple meal sing in minutes.
