Tips

To minimise food waste store nuts/seeds out of direct light and heat and always in an airtight container.
Curry pastes are ideal for speedy meals where you need maximum flavour in minimal time, they’re a great flavour hack! We love red and green curry pastes, shop bought or homemade. They keep in the fridge for up to a month, or can be frozen – simply spoon into ice cube trays and freeze until needed.
