Food 9 IN SEASON

Welcome April’s freshest produce into your kitchen

16 VARIETIES

The new season is putting us in a spring clean frame of mind, but rather than undertaking a major overhaul (frankly, who has the time?) we’re focusing on the small things we can do that make a difference. Our ‘Joys of spring’ feature offers loads of little ways to make you feel great this month, from creating wall art with your much-loved photos to the simple act of putting crisp new sheets on the bed. We’ve got quick ideas for breathing new life into your rooms at home, plus loads of lighter eating recipes, including our fresh, feel-good weekend menu, which finishes with an unexpectedly brilliant, and luxuriously silky, avocado and chocolate mousse (puds don’t get much more nutritious than this!).

BERRY NICE Thank you for your delicious Strawberry and vanilla cupcakes recipe [Make It Special, February] – I couldn’t wait to try it out. Needless to say, the dozen cupcakes I made didn’t last 24 hours with teenage twins in the house! It’s sure to be a family favourite for years to come.

R WASTE NOT LETTER I was born during WWII and brought up on rations, and my mother’s home economics teaching has stood me in good stead. Despite living on the poverty line most of my adult life, I have always managed to put meals on the table, and the recipes and tips in your magazine add variety to my diet. I always look forward to trying new ways of cooking without ingredients that cost a fortune. My mother instilled in me the need to keep the larder stocked up with ingredients such as dried peas, beans, barley, lentils, rice and oatmeal.‘Waste not, want not’ is my motto. Thank you again for a splendid magazine.

Elizabeth Thurgood, Devon

ON THE QUIET I’ve just read your brilliant article, Turn down the volume [February].

Thank you! I suffer from tinnitus and find it hard to function with lots of noises coming at me, which is difficult as I have three children. I try to find peaceful places with low-level ‘quiet’ sounds: wind rustling in trees, a crackling campfire, a stream running over a weir or rain on tent canvas. I disappear into the sound and it’s extremely

therapeutic. I have accepted my tinnitus, but it’s nice to get an occasional escape from it.

Kay Taylor, Kent SUPER BOWL Your Crispy tofu noodle bowl [Trolley Dash, February] caught my eye. My daughter recently became vegetarian so we’re on the lookout for new ideas. I had never cooked with tofu before, but the dish was simple to make and the result was fresh, healthy and tasty. Thanks!

Rainbow chard This leafy green is easily identified by its beautiful, multicoloured stems.

Rainbow chard has a sweet, nutty flavour similar to spinach, and holds its shape and pigment during cooking.

Cook the leaves and stalks separately, as the stalks take longer.

Try it in place of spinach in a veggie lasagne, or stir-fry with garlic, chilli and ginger and serve with steamed fish for a quick, nutritious dinner.

C H I C K E N A N D F E N N E L R AG O U T WITH CRISPY LEMON AND H E R B P OTATO E S Serves 4 Takes 1 hr Cost per serve £2·63

Fennel Fennel has a bulbous white head with edible, feathery, green fronds and a distinctive aniseed taste.

If you find the flavour of raw fennel a little intense, try cooking it – heat mellows the taste and it becomes soft and caramelised.

Try it raw, adding crisp slices to a salad with peppery leaves and citrus fruit. Or enjoy it roasted with potatoes, tomatoes and olive oil for a tray of veggies infused with a delicate liquorice flavour.

* *

10

750g (1½lb) new potatoes, larger ones halved 3 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp fennel seeds 1 lemon, zested and juiced 6 large skinless and boneless chicken thighs, fat trimmed 2 tbsp plain flour 2 large fennel bulbs, thickly sliced, fronds reserved 175ml (6fl oz) white wine 300ml (½pt) chicken stock 75g (3oz) light soft cheese handful fresh dill, chopped

1 Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. In a roasting tin, toss the potatoes with 1 tbsp of oil, the fennel seeds and the lemon zest. Season well. Roast for 40 minutes, shaking the tin halfway through.

For more fennel recipes, go to tesco.com/realfood

2 Dust the chicken using half the flour; season well. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a cast-iron casserole dish or a large, lidded frying pan over a medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden, then transfer to a plate and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan, then fry the fennel for 5 minutes.

3 Scatter the remaining flour over the fennel and toss to coat. Stir in the wine and stock, scraping up any meaty bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the chicken and any juices to the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

4 Remove the lid and turn off the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and soft cheese with a little more seasoning. Scatter over the dill and leave to stand for 5 minutes.

5 Shred the chicken using two forks, then scatter over the fennel fronds. Serve with the roasted potatoes.

nobody squeezes more nuts in

More taste, more protein, more energy.

At our very own factory here in the UK, we can squeeze a lot more nuts into our nut butters because we don’t add palm oil or sugar.

Better for you, and better for the orangutans.

Horseradish Fresh horseradish root gives dishes a deliciously fiery kick.

Although traditionally eaten in a creamy sauce with beef, horseradish also works well with fish, or earthy vegetables such as beetroot. Add a small amount of grated horseradish to a potato salad to liven up the taste.

When cooking with horseradish, add it towards the end to ensure it keeps its punchy flavour.

1 Put the grated potato in a clean tea towel or muslin and squeeze out as much moisture as you can. Tip into a bowl with the spring

onions, three-quarters of the horseradish and half the butter. Season well. Divide the mixture into 12 and shape into patties.

2 Heat the remaining butter and a little oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, until foaming. Fry the röstis in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and golden. Add a little more butter and oil between batches, if needed. Drain on kitchen paper. Serve hot.

cured meat W H E T H E R PI L E D H I G H O N A C H A RC U T E R I E B OA R D O R S C AT T E R E D OV E R A PI Z Z A , C U R E D M E AT I S M U C H L OV E D F O R I T S R I C H , S AVO U RY F L AVO U R

C O OK

Taste varies based on the meat, seasoning and drying period – some are salty, while others are sweet. If you’re making up a sharing platter, aim for a few varieties to sample the breadth of flavour.

Once you’ve opened your pack of cured meat, store any leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge.

This will prevent the delicate meat from drying out.

As it has gone through a curing and drying process, most cured meat requires no further cooking (check pack for info).

Although some varieties, such as chorizo, make a flavoursome addition to hot dishes.

VALERIA BERETTA, TESCO CURED MEAT SUPPLIER How long has your company been producing cured meats?

My company, Beretta, was established in 1812 by my greatgreat grandfather, and more than 200 years on we’re still going. We have 19 sites across Italy producing meat from specific regions with protected designation of origin (PDO) status. And for the last 20 years, we’ve worked exclusively with Tesco in the UK. What’s the secret to great-tasting cured meat? Expertise is key. Our recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. We are also passionate about what we do, and ensure excellent welfare for our animals. The best ingredients for quality meat are excellent raw materials, know-how and time taken for the curing process.

How is cured meat different? Curing is a traditional method of preserving meat with salt being the key ingredient. This draws out the water and prevents it from spoiling. Some varieties are also smoked, which changes the colour, texture and flavour.

Do you have a favourite variety? Bresaola is absolutely delicious with a drizzle of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and some Parmesan shavings. It’s a very quick dish that never fails to impress. Milano Salami, from my home region in Italy, is amazing, too. I often had it as a snack growing up, so it brings back many happy childhood memories.

C HO O S E

Va r i e ti e s PROSCIUTTO

Made from the hind leg of a pig, prosciutto is a delicate Italian ham that has been seasoned, cured, air-dried and thinly sliced. It’s best enjoyed straight from the pack, when it’s most tender, as its texture toughens when heated. For a quick canapé, try it wrapped around breadsticks with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

CHORIZO

MILANO SALAMI

A type of pork sausage, Milano salami is aged for at least 55 days to attain a dark colour, dense texture and intensely rich flavour. When sliced, Milano salami has a deep red interior speckled with white fat. Serve at room temperature with fresh bread, olives and mozzarella.

Pimento and chilli give this type of salami its orangered colour and fiery flavour.

Popular in Spanish and Mexican recipes, chorizo produces a garlicky fat when cooked, which forms a great base for sauces. Try gently frying in a pan with butter beans and sliced new potatoes for a quick supper.

A topside of beef that has been salted and air-dried for up to three months, bresaola is lean and dark with a light marbling of fat. Rich, full-bodied and flavoursome, it’s great tossed in a quick salad with romaine lettuce, radishes and a garlic and Dijon mustard dressing.

Similar to prosciutto, but of Spanish origin, serrano is a finely sliced salted and cured ham, aged anywhere between 6-18 months. It has a strong and nutty flavour, and is perfect for an antipasti board.

Serve at room temperature to appreciate its full taste and aroma.

The Willow Farms range of chicken is now in store at Tesco. The brandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great-value products include quality, whole chickens and versatile cuts, such as drumsticks and chicken breast, which can all be used to make delicious dinners the family will love.

1 Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the chicken in a roasting tin and arrange the bacon rashers over the breast, overlapping them slightly.

2 Cut 1 lemon in half and put half in the breast cavity. Roughly chop the remaining 1½ lemons.

3 Arrange the lemons, onions, carrots, potatoes and garlic in the roasting tin around the chicken. Add 4 tbsp cold water.

Scatter over the herbs and a little seasoning.

4 Roast for 30 minutes, then cover the breast with kitchen foil to prevent it drying out. Roast for a further 50-60 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a skewer.

5 Remove the chicken from the tin and transfer to a serving plate, pouring all the juices from the cavity back into the pan. Loosely cover with kitchen foil and leave to rest for 15 minutes. Serve the chicken with the vegetables and the pan juices.

onger days, trees in blossom and warmer weather – all signs that spring is here! Harness the spirit of the season, and the feeling of renewal it brings, with these activities and easy ways to bring joy into your life.

Flower power Research by Harvard University shows that looking at flowers first thing in the morning boosts happiness and decreases anxiety throughout the day.

And with the new season bringing an abundance of fresh blooms, make the most of it by bringing a few indoors to enjoy.

To help your floral arrangements last longer, snip the stems at an angle using sharp scissors or a knife, giving them the largest area for taking in water.

Bake it off The physical

13·9°C According to the American Meteorological Society, happiness is maximised at this temperature, which occurs quite commonly in April – so here’s to a warm, balmy and joyful month.

elements of baking, such as kneading dough, have the same stress-relieving effects as exercise, while the artistic process of icing a cupcake or decorating a pie is calming and satisfying. On top of that, watching people enjoy your creations, and receiving compliments, are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Turn the beat around The University of Missouri found that people reported higher levels of happiness after listening to upbeat music. Make a ‘get happy’ playlist of your own, or try one of Spotify’s Wake Up Happy, Happy Hits or Have a Great Day collections.

On your toes Prepare for flip-flop season by showing your (possibly neglected) feet some love. When asked to describe their mood as a colour, happy and positive people most often choose yellow – so try a slick of bright yellow polish, such as Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy in Casino Lights, £6·99 to liven up your toenails.

25

SIGN LANGUAGE The first signs of spring are magical: lambs, bluebells and busy bees all herald the new season. Take the kids and make a day of exploring spring delights – find a site near you by visiting nationaltrust.org.uk.

Clean start Something about crisp bed linen tends to put us in a good mood. A study by the National Sleep Foundation found that people feel more excited about going to bed, and sleep better, when they have fresh sheets. Harness that feelgood factor and get a better night’s sleep by changing your bed linen once a week.

Get fizzical Share a refreshing floral tipple with a friend. Make a syrup by dissolving sugar in water. Add rose-water, strawberries and lemon juice, simmering until the berries break down. Pass through a sieve and leave to cool. Add to prosecco or lemonade. Find the full recipe at tes.co/rosefizz.

Take a break Planning a holiday could make you happier than actually taking it. A study found we get a remarkable boost from organising a getaway, with most people’s happiness levels going back to normal on their return to work, regardless of how long they’ve been away – so even a short break will give you a lift.

26

H appy da y s Boxing clever Give your sills a splash of colour by planting window boxes. Line the boxes with broken terracotta or polystyrene. Fill about half way with potting soil and add plants – try busy Lizzies, or hardy geraniums for windswept areas. Tap the plants from their pots and position them in the window box. Top up with soil, leaving a gap of about 2cm (¾in) beneath the rim of the box.Water sparingly – keep the soil just moist – and remove dead heads and leaves regularly to keep it in tip-top condition.

Season’s eatings Photo op The Open University discovered that looking at personal photographs lifts your mood. Most of us rarely print photos from our phones, but it’s a doddle – try Snapfish (iTunes and Google Play, free), an app that prints pics in all sizes and finishes. Turn the best into new wall art and update your decor at the same time.

Light up

Double the benefits of candles by burning a citrus scent; the Mayo Clinic found they can curb anxiety and stress.

A study in the journal Chemical Senses also showed clementine is particularly uplifting.

Try this Citrus Fruit & Ginger candle, £4.

It’s hard to beat a good Sunday lunch in spring. For a fresh spin on lamb, go to tes.co/springlamb – it’s made using breast, which is a cheaper cut, but extra flavoursome when cooked ‘slow and low’.

Create a blossom collage

Got a bare wall crying out for decoration? Give it the spring treatment by getting the kids involved in a temporary blossom collage. Tack a large sheet of paper to the wall and use a marker to draw tree branches. Children can fingerpaint or scrunch coloured tissue paper for the spring blossoms.

DARE TO BARE Savour the feeling of grass under your feet. It’s probably been months since you went barefoot, so lose your shoes and enjoy the sensation.

27

SEND A CARD It always feels good to do something nice for someone else.

A pack of cards and stamps don’t cost much, but yield big returns for your friendships.

Colour therapy

Adult colouring books have exploded in popularity, and for good reason. Colouring engages both halves of the brain, enhances focus and concentration, and has a calming effect. Fixing your attention on the activity can also help keep negative thoughts and worries at bay.

Feed the birds Kate Blincoe, author of The No-Nonsense Guide to Green Parenting (Green Books, £14·99), suggests attracting birds to your garden with homemade treats. Mix a block of room-temperature lard with two mugs of dried fruit, oats, bird seed and grated mild Cheddar. Form into balls with string threaded through. Leave to set in the fridge before hanging.

28

Smiley face Even forcing a smile can be enough to make you feel better about an upsetting situation: the physical feedback from your muscles signals to the brain that you’re happy, so try to make a habit of it. Having trouble summoning a smile? Hang around your happiest friend – there’s evidence to suggest that happiness can be contagious, too.

Go stargazing Enjoy nature’s ‘big screen’ by wrapping up warm, packing a flask of tea and heading to one of the National Trust’s stargazing sites (nationaltrust.org.uk/features/top-spots-for-stargazing).

On a clear night you can see up to 4,000 stars – perfect for gaining a little perspective.

The magic number LUCK OF THE DRAWER Perk up your drawers by having a clear-out, then line them with colourful paper or wrapping paper.

It’ll make you smile whenever you open them.

According to oxytocin expert Paul J Zak, we need eight hugs a day to feel happier and more connected. The ‘love hormone’ is boosted by hugs (cuddles with pets count!), resulting in feelings of wellbeing and happiness.

Snooze fest When the sun comes out, there’s nothing like an outdoor nap, whether you’re lucky enough to have your own garden or nod off in the park.

Just find a shady spot…

Hedgehog hidey-hole Hedgehogs have babies

in early summer, so now’s the time to make them a shelter. Take a 40 x 40cm (16 x 16in) cardboard box and cut a 15cm (6in) entrance hole. Line with newspaper and straw, then place near a hedge or fence.

Cover with a bin bag, with the entrance left clear. Finish with logs, stones, twigs and grass to keep it hidden*.

‘ You can’t help but enjoy yourself’ A Race for Life veteran of 10 years and Community Champion at Tesco Princes Road in Chelmsford, Jessica Dawson has experienced first hand the difference Cancer Research UK’s life-saving research makes.‘I lost my father and a friend to cancer, and last year was diagnosed with breast cancer myself,’ she explains.‘I take part in Race for Life because I want to make people aware of how important it is to raise money for cancer research. Without it, lots of people (including myself) wouldn’t be here today. Race for Life has a festival atmosphere, and you can’t help but enjoy yourself. My daughter joined me last year [pictured above], which was really encouraging. I can’t wait to celebrate another year.’

GET INVOLVED

There are more than 300 Race for Life events – suitable for all fitness levels – taking place this year, with 5k, 10k and Pretty Muddy events being held all over the country. Last year, more than 3,500 women joined the UK’s first women-only half and full marathons, which are also back with a bang for 2016.

You can walk, jog or run around your chosen course, so no matter where you live, or how sporty you are, there’s something for everyone. To be part of the fun and help raise vital funds to cure over 200 types of cancer for Cancer Research UK, sign-up at raceforlife.org.

You’ll also be able to pick up a leaflet with helpful hints and tips on how to keep your clothes looking great.

Last year, Race for Life participants helped raise £52 million at over 300 events. And since its launch in 1994, more than £548 million has been put towards life-saving research. Nice one, ladies!

KITCHEN Painting or tiling just one wall in a bold colour can transform your kitchen. Or simply add a shelf with a few stylish accessories, such as potted plants, clay pots and a wall clock, to make the room feel brand new.

Clean your stainless steel sink with a mix of salt and bicarbonate of soda.

The grittiness of the salt helps to scrub away ingrained dirt and prevents the soda leaving a white residue.

Wash grease and splatters from kitchen wall tiles and cabinets with a sponge dipped in undiluted white vinegar. Use another sponge soaked in water to rinse, then wipe dry with kitchen towels.

W e e ke nd S P R I N G S A L A D P L AT T E R Serves 6 Takes 20 mins Cost per serve 63p 2 large sweetcorn cobs 1½ tbsp olive oil 200g (7oz) broccoli florets 2 large pitta breads 1 Romaine lettuce heart, shredded 100g (3½oz) feta, roughly chopped 2 tbsp freshly snipped cress 1 tsp paprika For the dressing ½ garlic clove, crushed 2 tbsp natural yogurt

1 tbsp lemon juice 3½ tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 Preheat the grill to medium. Brush the sweetcorn cobs with ½ tbsp olive oil and season well. Cook under the grill for 6 minutes, turning occasionally until lightly charred. Remove from the grill, leave to cool a little, then carefully slice the kernels from the cob with a sharp knife. Set aside.

2 Meanwhile, lightly steam the broccoli for 4 minutes, or until just tender. Leave to cool slightly, then roughly chop.

3 To make the dressing, put the garlic, yogurt, lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl. Add 1 tbsp water and a little seasoning, then whisk to combine. Set aside.

4 Brush the pitta breads on both sides with the remaining oil. Cut into triangles and toast in a hot griddle pan (or under the grill) for 1-2 minutes on each side, until char marks appear.

5 To assemble, arrange the lettuce, feta, sweetcorn and pitta on a serving platter.

Drizzle over the dressing, then top with the cress and a dusting of paprika.

CHIVE AND MISO SW E E T P OTATO M A S H

Serves 6 Takes 1 hr 50 mins Cost per serve £1·84

Serves 6 Takes 1 hr 25 mins Cost per serve 31p

1 tbsp olive oil 1 x 1·6kg whole chicken 2 leeks, trimmed and sliced 2 celery sticks, sliced on the diagonal 1 x 230g pack baby parsnips, sliced 450ml (¾pint) chicken stock 1 x 250g pack ready-to-eat Puy lentils 150g (5oz) baby spinach 150g (5oz) freshly-podded peas (or frozen peas, defrosted) For the pistou 1 garlic clove, chopped 50g (2oz) baby spinach 20g (¾oz) fresh basil 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1·2kg (2½lb) sweet potatoes ½ tsp miso paste 2 tbsp finely snipped chives

1 Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. In a casserole or ovenproof pan large enough to hold the chicken comfortably, warm the olive oil on the hob over a medium-high heat.

Add the chicken, breast-side down, and sear, until the skin is golden all over.

2 Turn the chicken so it is sitting breast-side up, then reduce the heat to medium-low and add the leeks and celery. Cook for 3 minutes, then add the parsnips, stock and 500ml (17fl oz) of water. Bring to the boil, then cover with a tightly fitting lid. Transfer to the oven and cook for 1 hour.

3 Remove from the oven and stir in the lentils.

Return to the oven, covered, for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when the thickest part of thigh is pierced. Remove from the oven and skim most of the fat from the surface of the broth; discard. Stir in the spinach and peas, then season to taste. Set aside for 5 minutes.

4 Transfer the chicken from the casserole to a board, letting the liquid drain away from the cavity. Carve the meat into portions and return to the casserole dish to keep warm.

5 To make the pistou, put the garlic, spinach, basil, olive oil and 2 tbsp water in a mini food processor. Whizz until finely chopped, then season to taste. (Use immediately, or cover and chill for up to 3 days.)

6 To serve, portion out the chicken, veg and broth in shallow bowls and top with a dollop of pistou and sides (see right).

Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly.

2 While the potatoes are still warm, cut them in half and scoop out the flesh. In a mixing bowl, mash the flesh with the miso paste and chives, until smooth.

Season to taste. Serve with the chicken and broth.

Week end C H O CO L AT E A N D AVO C A D O M O U S S E Avocado may seem like a strange addition to this dessert, but it gives a wonderfully creamy texture without the need for dairy or egg.

Serves 6 Takes 15 mins Cost per serve 86p 100g (3½oz) dark chocolate 4 tbsp maple syrup 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract 5 tbsp almond milk or coconut milk drink 2½ tbsp cocoa, sieved 2 large ripe avocados, flesh scooped out

1 Set aside 25g (1oz) chocolate for decoration and break the rest into squares. Melt in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of shallow, simmering water. Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla, almond or coconut milk, ¼ tsp fine salt and the cocoa until smooth.

2 In a blender or food processor, whizz the chocolate mixture with the avocado flesh until silky smooth. Divide the mixture between 6 small serving glasses. Chill for at least 3 hours, or for up to 12 hours.

3 To make the decoration, scrape the edge of the reserved chocolate using a vegetable peeler to make long shards. Store in an airtight container until needed. Scatter over the mousse just before serving.

650g (1½lb) new potatoes 1 x 240g bag sliced spring greens 3 eggs 4 tbsp double cream 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 x 250g tub ricotta, drained 1 x 125g pack asparagus tips bunch spring onions, finely sliced 100g (3½oz) fresh or frozen peas 75g (3oz) vegetarian hard cheese or mature Cheddar, grated 3 tbsp ground polenta, almonds or breadcrumbs For the pastry 1 x 500g pack shortcrust pastry, diced 75g (3oz) vegetarian hard cheese or mature Cheddar, grated 1 tbsp finely chopped curly parsley flour, for dusting

1 To make the pastry, put the shortcrust dough and cheese in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until combined, breaking up any lumps. Add the parsley and pulse for a few seconds more until mixed. Bring together in a ball and tip out onto a lightly floured surface.

2 Roll out the dough to a circle large enough to line a 22cm (8½in) deep pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges; chill for 30 minutes.

3 Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large pan of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes, until tender.

Remove from the heat and drain. Leave to cool, then roughly slice.

4 Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Put a baking sheet on the middle shelf to heat up.

5 Meanwhile, microwave, steam or boil the spring greens following the packet instructions, until wilted. Leave to cool a little, then squeeze out the excess water.

6 In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, mustard and ricotta until combined; season.

7 Cut the asparagus in half and set the spears aside. Dice the stalks into 1cm (½in) chunks and add to the ricotta mixture with the spring greens, peas, potatoes and most of the spring onions. Scatter over most of the cheese and mix well.

8 Line the chilled pastry base with the polenta, breadcrumbs or almonds. Tip in the filling, pressing down with the back of a spoon until tightly packed. Arrange the reserved asparagus spears on top, then scatter over the remaining spring onions and cheese. Bake on the preheated baking sheet for 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pastry golden. Leave to stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Skinny Soups by Kathryn Bruton is published by Kyle Books and priced at £14·99.

S he lf li fe H A Z E L N U T, C R A N B E R RY A N D C H I A S E E D OATC A K E S These are perfect with the beetroot soup (see right), or enjoy with nut butter and sliced banana to stave off sweet cravings.

Makes 24 Takes 50 mins Cost per serve 38p 40g (1½oz) blanched hazelnuts 150g (5oz) jumbo oats ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda 1 tsp flaked sea salt 1 tbsp almond butter 100ml (3½fl oz) boiling water 25g (1oz) dried cranberries, chopped 1 tsp chia seeds

1 Preheat the oven to gas 2, 150°C, fan 130°C, and line a baking tray with parchment. Place the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan over a medium heat and toast until golden brown.

Leave to cool a little before roughly chopping.

2 In a food processor, blitz 100g (3½oz) of the jumbo oats, the bicarbonate of soda and salt to a fine powder. Add the almond butter and pulse a few times to incorporate. Slowly add the water and stop mixing as soon as you have a sticky paste. Finally, add the hazelnuts, dried cranberries, chia seeds and remaining jumbo oats and pulse until just combined.

3 Tip out onto a clean surface and gather the mixture together into a firm ball. Place between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to 3mm (⅛in) thickness. Remove the top piece of parchment and cut out 24 oatcakes using a 5cm (2in) round cutter.

4 Transfer to the lined baking tray and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool on a wire rack. The oatcakes will keep for up to a week if stored in an airtight container.

For a smoother consistency, pass the blended soup through a sieve before serving.

B E E T R O OT S O U P W I T H TA R R AG O N B U C KW H E AT Serves 4 Takes 50 mins Cost per serve 61p 75g (3oz) dried buckwheat 1 tsp olive oil 1 medium onion, roughly diced 1 garlic clove, finely sliced ½ tsp fennel seeds, ground in a pestle and mortar 3 medium beetroots, peeled and grated 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, plus 1 tsp extra 750ml (1¼pt) vegetable stock 1 x 30g pack tarragon, leaves picked and roughly chopped 1 tsp English mustard black pepper, to season beetroot crisps, crumbled, to serve (optional)

1 Rinse the buckwheat in a sieve under cold water and transfer to a saucepan with 150ml (¼pt) cold water and a generous pinch of salt.

Simmer with the lid on for 8-10 minutes until tender. Drain, and run under cold water to stop

the cooking process. Set aside in the sieve to ensure all excess liquid drains from the seeds.

2 In a clean saucepan, gently heat the olive oil and add the onion, garlic and ground fennel along with 1 tbsp water. Sweat, with the lid on, for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.

Add a splash more water if the onion sticks to the saucepan.

3 Peel and coarsely grate the beetroots and add to the saucepan with the tablespoon vinegar and stock. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, until the beetroot is tender.

4 Meanwhile, pound the tarragon, mustard and an extra tsp of vinegar in a pestle and mortar to a smooth paste. Season to taste and stir through the buckwheat. Set aside.

5 When the soup is ready, blend until smooth and season to taste. If the beetroot is particularly sweet, add a good grinding of pepper. Serve the soup, topped with the tarragon-dressed buckwheat and some beetroot crisps, if you like.

B OT T LE B A N K FIND NEW FAVOURITES FOR SPRING W ITH TESCO MA STER OF W INE JAMES DAV IS’ TOP PICK S

P

eople often ask me about new wine trends or what new varieties they should try. But one of the many wonderful things about wine is that there’s a variety to suit all tastes. For something different this spring, try these fresh whites and lighter reds.

Pinotage, one of South Africa’s signature varieties, was created in 1925 by Medium crossing the pinot noir bodied grape and cinsault. The result is a full-bodied, ripe and fruity wine with flavours of black fruits and spice. finest* South African Pinotage, £5·50, is the perfect partner for spicy red meat dishes such as the Black bean beef with udon noodles on p65.

C

For lovers of zesty sauvignon blanc, try finest* Côtes de Gascogne, £6. Made predominantly from the gros manseng Medium dry grape, and blended with sauvignon blanc, it’s a fantastically fresh white with gorgeous lemon and grapefruit flavours. Pair it with simple salads or chicken dishes, such as the Pot-roast chicken with lentils and spinach pistou on p43.

2

If you’ve not tried South Africa’s other signature grape, chenin blanc, go Medium dry for finest* South African Chenin Blanc, £5.50. A fruity, apple-scented white with tangy pea and honey notes, it works well with lightly spiced foods or creamy pasta.

2

Made using the gamay grape, wines from Beaujolais are great Medium bodied examples of lighter reds. With its bright raspberry and blackcurrant flavours, Beaujolais Villages, £6·50, would be ideal with the Asparagus and prosciutto bake on p16.

B

If you enjoy a glass of red with a juicy steak, look out for Parra Alta Medium bodied Malbec, £5. Bright, with plum and raspberry jam aromas, notes of vanilla and a smooth, velvety finish, it pairs beautifully with red meat.

D

If you’re a prosecco fan seeking a new tipple, try finest* Pignoletto, £7. Like prosecco, this sparkling wine – named after Medium the pignoletto grape – is produced in Italy. dry Popping with peach and pear flavours, with soft, frothy bubbles, it’s a great party fizz.

S

choolchildren in the UK are some of the most tested in the world.

But hands up if you’re not sure where the dividing line lies between offering them the support they need to revise effectively, and piling on the pressure? We’ve done our homework and found the best ways to help your kids prepare for assessments, whatever school stage they’re at.

77

PRIMARY SCHOOL TESTS, AGE 4-11 Depending on where you live in the UK, children will be tested* at various points during primary school so teachers can assess their progress. As younger children aren’t at the stage where they are able to do formal revision, Amanda Reese, head teacher at London’s Hanover Primary School, suggests that parents support learning at home on a regular basis. She favours setting up homework routines in a quiet, comfortable place, and says, ‘Reading together is very important, and not just the child reading and the parent listening (or vice versa).

Talking about characters and asking what might happen next all help with comprehension.’

Everyday games, such as I-spy and hangman, are a great way of boosting spelling and vocabulary. For maths, Amanda suggests discussing what time things happen during the day, measuring recipe ingredients and talking about how a pizza can be divided equally. The website mathletics.co.uk can be useful for reinforcing skills.

Parents’ evenings will help you understand your child’s progress and needs, so do attend them whenever you can. Although homework is geared towards any tests they might take (such as Key Stage 2 SATs), and adult support is encouraged, towards the end of primary school children should be doing their homework more independently in preparation for secondary school.

SECONDARY SCHOOL EXAMS, AGE 13-16 Key Stage 3 SATs (for 13-14 year olds) are assessed by teachers to monitor progress, after which the focus is on GCSEs (or Nationals, in Scotland). Controlled assessments, in the form of essays and projects, can form part of GCSEs and they count towards the overall mark. Grades can affect sixth-form entry and top universities may be looking for A*s even at GCSE level.

Being prepared is key: students should be aware of what they will be examined on and

Do you r r e se a r ch how marks are allocated. Schools and examining boards’ websites provide this information.

It’s important that children test themselves and don’t just read through their textbooks or notes. Revision guides can be very helpful, as can past papers, which can be downloaded from the internet.

Find out where your child revises most effectively – some prefer working on their own, while others find they achieve more with friends.

Regular breaks are also vital for productivity – psychologists say that no one can concentrate for more than about 50 minutes at a time. Louis, a 15-year-old at Kings’ School, Winchester, believes

Exa m g ui de

WORDS HILLY JANES ILLUSTRATIONS ANDREW LYONS *Assessments for primary school children in Scotland are due to be introduced in 2017

in a balance of study and fresh air. ‘You can’t spend the whole time revising. I go skateboarding with friends at weekends to relax,’ he says.

SIXTH FORM EXAMS, AGE 16-18 AS-levels in the first year of sixth form (Year 12) count towards final A-level grades, but this is being phased out. Schools will still assess students to provide predicted grades for university applicants, but it’s the results of A Levels, or Highers in Scotland, that will count.

Emma Garth, a teacher at London’s Henrietta Barnett School, is mum to teens studying for GSCEs and A levels. She stresses the importance of doing practice papers and identifying different revision styles. Some students find making notes or drawing diagrams useful, while others download audiobooks, record material to listen to in bed or share notes with friends.

One tip is to provide stationery, such as highlighter pens to help with revision notes. And it’s vital, says Emma, that everyone knows the

timing of the exams. She suggests making a timetable to stick on the fridge or a whiteboard to help plan revision and ensure that family events don’t interfere.

‘The main job of parents is managing home life by keeping things calm, preparing favourite meals and making sure children get a good night’s sleep,’ she says.

Some parents incentivise children with money for good grades, but Emma suggests rewarding hard work instead. ‘That can be a lot more useful in real life than brilliant academic qualifications,’ she argues. ‘Promise a treat when exams are over, or help to finance a special holiday, but don’t relate it to results.

‘Don’t be offended if teenagers rebuff offers of help with revision,’ she adds. Teaching and content have changed since parents were at school, and teenagers can get upset if they know what you are saying is incorrect. ‘It’s not your job to teach them,’ says Emma, ‘but to keep channels of communication open and support them.’

If extra help is needed, ask a family member or friend with the appropriate expertise. Just keep in mind that it’s about helping your child reach their full potential, rather than ensuring they achieve As or A*s. There is, thank goodness, more to life than exams and grades.

BEAUTY SCHOOL E ACH SE A SON BRINGS W ITH IT NE W MAKE - UP COLOUR S AND TRE NDS, BU T GE T TING THE BA SIC S RIGHT IS THE KE Y TO CRE ATING AN Y LOOK Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain in Adore, £8

ACE OF BASE If you’re still wearing the same foundation that was right for you 10 years ago, it may be time to switch.

Skin colour and tone change as we age, so check your shade every year. Makeup artist Olivia Ferrer has this expert advice for achieving the right base Test foundation on the chest area (in natural light), for a true colour match.

The correct shade should disappear into the skin. It’s best to have a lighter and darker shade, so you can mix accordingly when your skin is darker in the summer or paler in the winter.

A foundation brush distributes the product evenly on the skin, to give a flawless finish. For best results, work off the back of your hand.

Start by using the foundation in the areas that are most uneven – often the T-zone.

ON THE LIPS Beauty vlogger Miss Budget Beauty offers her fast-fix tips for creating the perfect pout Prep your lips by scrubbing and applying balm. No lip scrub to hand?

Gently rub a little brown sugar into the lips with a damp flannel.

Lots of people stay away from bold colours on the lips, but pale shades can get lost on fair skin. I like a bold red

lip, as it can really brighten your complexion. As a general rule, pink and bluebased reds suit fair skin, while warmer coral reds or oranges look fab on darker tones.

A lip stain or gloss will give a softer effect than lipstick, or for a long-lasting, on-trend matte pout, apply lip liner, followed by lipstick then a fine dusting of translucent powder.

BD Oil-Free Foundation, £8

HOW TO:

This make-up trend might look complicated, but it needn’t be with these simple guidelines

1 From a contour palette, apply the darker shade to the underside of cheekbones, working inwards.

To avoid a build-up of foundation around the hairline and brows, avoid applying it directly to these areas; instead blend foundation from the central areas of the face.

CONTOUR

2 Next, use a light shade to accentuate your features, especially your cheekbones and cupid’s bow.

Use a long-wearing, smudge-proof mascara, as it won’t leave smear marks under your eyes.

HOW TO:

To work out what length your brows should be, put a pencil next to your nostril and align it with your tear duct – that is where the brows should start.

Leave them where they naturally finish.

Before you start plucking, draw on the desired shape over the brow with a pencil, using light strokes. The arch of the eyebrow should be about

Pluck stray hairs below, and in-between, brows – but never tweeze above or at the end your brow, that will ruin your natural curve and length.

Choose brow make-up no more than two shades darker than your natural colour and blend with a brow brush.

Brush towards the end of your brow.

Pencils are great for creating shape, whereas creams are better for filling in the gaps or giving denser brows.

But with a little know-how, you can avoid even the most sophisticated scams and wasting money on unneccessary products.

Don’t fall for email scams Phishing, where you’re sent a lookalike email by a fraudster, is far more convincing than it was in the early days. These emails often piggyback on genuine events, such as offering tax refunds soon after the selfassessment deadline. Names and organisations can easily be manipulated, so never give personal or financial details in response to an email – and don’t click on links or attachments, as these may contain viruses or malware (malicious software).

Make sure your antivirus software is up to date and includes malware removal, so malicious software can be deleted.

Beware phone fraudsters Voice phishing, or ‘vishing’, is a growing problem – someone calls you, supposedly from your bank or the police, and says your bank account has been compromised and you need to transfer money into a ‘safe’ account. But that account belongs to the fraudster and, if you authorise the transfer, your bank may not reimburse you.

Millions have been stolen from victims of this scam.

PLAY IT SAFE Fraudsters can mimic your bank’s telephone number when they ring or text, using ‘number spoofing’.

Remember, banks won’t ask you to move money into ‘safe’ accounts, so don’t fall for it.

PLAY IT SAFE If you do click on a link that you think is from scammers, report it to the organisation it’s supposedly from and to Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk).

You’ll probably have to pay for their time, but it’s better than losing some – or all – of your money to a fraudster.

Avoid paying mobile phone insurance twice When you start a new mobile contract, phone companies often try to sell you cover for your shiny new handset. However, if you have contents insurance, check your policy to see if it includes ‘cover away from home’.

This insures items that you take out of the house with you, such as expensive smartphones. Not all policies include this extra cover, but it could save you a hefty sum if yours does.

PLAY IT SAFE If you have a habit of damaging or losing phones, it might be worth taking out separate gadget insurance. Otherwise, if you make several claims on your home contents policy within a few years, you may find it more expensive or harder to get insurance.

Claim PPI compensation yourself If you were sold PPI (payment protection insurance), it’s likely that you, along with millions of others, were misled. Banks have since paid out billions in compensation, but some people are still owed money. As a result, many people’s cases have been picked up by persuasive claims management firms who take a cut of your compensation if your claim is successful. But what you might not know is that you can claim compensation on your own.

PLAY IT SAFE Using a claims management firm doesn’t mean a bigger payout. Banks have information on their websites that explains what you need to do, or they will have contact numbers.

If you think your claim is rejected unfairly, take your complaint to the free Financial Ombudsman Service (financial-ombudsman.org. uk). If you do decide to use a claims company, never pay anything upfront – this means you don’t lose anything if the firm goes bust. The best companies work on a no win, no fee basis.

Chore wars

According to a poll of 44,000 Brits, our most beloved dogs are labradors, border collies and golden retrievers.

The least popular are the Chinese crested, bullboxer pit and chihuahua.

Surprisingly, the pug didn’t make the top 10. Throw ’em a bone, won’t ya?

Sweet charity

If you’re planning a spring clear-out, spare a thought for volunteers at Mind charity shops, who have had to field donations ranging from the bizarre (a live cat) to the frankly dangerous (a live hand grenade).

Charity shops will be most grateful for (clean) clothing, books, accessories, toys and games.

Judging by a survey of 1,000 British adults, the average person gets just six hours and 36 minutes of sleep per night – well under the recommended eight hours. The deficit adds up to the equivalent of 64 sleepless nights per year. Stress is the main culprit, followed by a noisy or restless partner, feeling too hot or cold and back problems. Good to know it’s not our box-set habits.

In a tiff with your partner over the spring cleaning?

You’re in good company as 47 per cent of cohabiting couples argue over who should be doing it and how often it should be done. What a load of rubbish!

SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT

Parents of teenagers are likely to see them for just three in every 24 hours, new research suggests.

Seventy-five per cent of mums and dads claim teens head straight for their rooms once home. Food and clean clothes are the main reasons given for the lesser-spotted offspring emerging from the sanctuary of their poster-strewn pits. Charmers.
