Food tips

A local veg box shared between friends is a few quid a week, and the perfect way to slash your food miles while eating good food. So if you're self-catering at university why not try a doorstep delivery from one of the many veg box scheme providers?


Our survival no longer depends on our knowledge of nature's cycles, but there is much to be gained from getting back this lost wisdom. Regardless of technology's advances, the fact remains that food in season is the best. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.


Kitchen Tip : Use a covered kettle or pan to boil water; it's faster and it uses less energy.

Remove chops to a plate and keep warm in a 200 degree oven.

If you are using the dried tarragon, add it now to the skillets and continue to cook until liquid reduces to a shiny glaze. Remove from heat. Wisk in butter. Add grated lime peel and fresh tarragon it that is what you are using. Remove chops from the oven to a warm platter. Add any lamb juices to the sauce. Spoon sauce over chops and serve.
