Get organized

· When you first walk into the kitchen, preheat the oven or grill to get it up to temperature while you prepare other things.

· Get water on for pasta and rice or boil the kettle for even quicker cooking.

· Pull the ingredients out of the fridge and cupboard instead of going for them one at a time.

· If chopping vegetables, use a small bowl for the trimmings and other waste - it can go straight into the bin or compost heap all at once.
