Whether you're a total newbie to cooking or you've got some experience, here's a few recipe ideas that'll take you from mediocre to Masterchef level in no time at all!
Before you start cooking...
Be sure to open a kitchen window to let fresh air in and any smoke out. Never leave your cooking unattended and be sure that all fire doors are kept closed, they are there to keep you safe! Read more here.
Once you've finished cooking, be sure to clean up any grease or spillages for the next person 👩🍳
