CHEFS’ SPECIALS
Culinary expertise isn’t about memorising recipes – it’s about learning the skills, tricks and food hacks that can take years to pick up.›We asked some of our favourite chefs to rustle up some quick tips so you can benefit from their knowledge in minutes.
01 When chopping chillies, rub a little cooking oil into your hands before you start. The oil creates a barrier so the chilli doesn’t get into your skin. Then, once you’ve chopped the chillies, rub some fresh lemon juice into your hands – the acid neutralises the chilli, removing it from your hands more effectively than soap and water. - Jo Pratt,›The Gorgeous Kitchen
02 Use a toothpick to check your fish is cooked. If you can insert it easily into the thickest part of the flesh, it’s cooked perfectly. Any resistance means it needs a little more time. - Gee Charman, The Gorgeous Kitchen
