Hot Tips
Resting meat
Never serve roasted meat straight out of the oven. Instead allow the meat to rest in a warm place, loosely covered with foil, for around 20 minutes, This will allow the juices to redistribute evenly among the meat, rather than escaping onto the plate when the meat is carved.
Glossary
Nori
Believed to be made from seaweed, nori is actually made from dried algae. It is primarily used to wrap sushi, to garnish and to flavour noodle soups. The darker the colour and greater the aroma, the higher the quality.
