Star letter FESTIVE MAKE & DO

A TWIST ON TRADITION & «Â£ ã¨ Ô ÉÛÔ ã É¢ Á÷ Ûã Christmas alone after the loss of my dear husband of 34 years, I was determined to avoid all things festive this year. However, coming across your recipe for Black Forest mini mince pies (Good enough to eat, Christmas), I was tempted to give them a try. Great result, and I had something »« «ÉèÛ Â ¢ Ûã«ó ãÉ É Á÷ visitors, without going down the traditional Christmas route.

I’m not generally known for my artistic abilities but, with my Christmas cake baking and festive songs playing on the radio, I felt empowered to tackle your alternative Advent calendar (Make it yours, Christmas). Imagine the pat on the back I gave myself after using stickers to form my daughter’s name on one of the envelopes.

I added some curly ribbon too, just to show off!

Toni Clark, Cornwall FEEDING TRICKY TEENS The green vegetable lasagne (Everyday easy) from your Christmas issue was a great success. Even my 15-year-old son, who avoids regular lasagne (‘Too much mince’) and Mediterranean vegetable lasagne (‘Don’t like courgette’), wolfed it down, proclaiming it one of his favourite meals.

FIBRE. YAWN.

Though we hate to say it, it’s hard to be fussed about fibre (even though you’re probably not getting enough). No one loudly declares their love for fibre – so we had an idea.

We made a tasty yogurt with 4.7g of the stuff per 150g serving*. You can’t see it, you can’t taste it, but it’s there.

And instead of having to visit some speciality shop to find it, you can just pop to the yogurt aisle at selected Tesco stores.

Probably worth a try.

Fibre for people who can’t be fussed with fibre.

FEBRUARY HARVEST

IN SEASON

It might b e cold and drear y outside, but that do esn’t mean your dishes have to b e Passion fruit These tropical fruits have a tough, inedible skin that is brown or purple in colour.

Native to South America, the flower of the passion fruit is known for its mild sedative effect and was used in early folk medicine in Peru and Brazil to aid sleep.

Passion fruit skin shrivels as the fruit ripens, so for the sweetest flesh choose wrinkly fruit, or ripen on a windowsill at home.

Cut open to find edible seeds in a deliciously tart pulp. Spoon it out and serve over vanilla panna cotta.

Scrape the pulp from 4 of the passion fruits into a medium saucepan with the sugar, soy, chilli, star anise and 50ml water. Stir over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 mins, stirring often.

2 Preheat the grill to high and line a baking tray with foil. Quarter the ÔÉ ¸ »» ã » £ã¨ô ÷Û ã¨ Â èã «ÂãÉ 32 even-sized chunks. Thread the pork onto the soaked skewers and arrange on the foil-lined baking tray.

3 Spoon the passion fruit mixture over the pork and grill for 10-15 mins, turning occasionally and basting with the passion fruit glaze from the tray, until the pork is cooked through with no pink meat showing.

4 Meanwhile, cook the rice following pack instructions and steam the pak choi for 5-6 mins until just tender.

Serve the pork drizzled with the remaining passion fruit pulp and seeds, alongside the rice, pak choi and any remaining glaze from the tray.

Flavor King plums These glorious stone fruits have a short season and are only around until the end of March.

A kind of ‘pluot’, they are a hybrid of a plum and an apricot, and are a rich shade of purple with silky sweet golden flesh inside.

Choose fruit that has a smooth, deeply coloured skin with a waxy finish.

Plums aren’t just for dessert. Try them roasted with duck legs and star anise, or in a salad with Parma ham.

Celeriac Don’t be put off by its appearance – there’s beauty beneath celeriac’s imperfect skin.

A variety of celery cultivated for its edible roots, celeriac has a tough, knobbly outer layer. Trim off to reveal its creamy white flesh.

Once peeled it will discolour quickly, so submerge in a bowl of water with a squeeze of lemon to keep it fresh.

Shred for a French-style coleslaw, or slice thinly, layer with sliced potatoes and cream, and bake for a gratin.

Chicory Also known as endive, this bitter leafy veg comes in red and white varieties.

White chicory is grown in the dark all year round – hence its pale colour.

It’s best stored in the dark too, as this will stop it becoming too bitter.

Chicory is great raw in salads, but you should try it cooked too, as it takes on a sweeter flavour.

Turnips This root vegetable is related to the radish and shares its peppery flavour.

At the annual Turnip Festival in Switzerland, visitors celebrate this veg by carving beautiful turnip lanterns.

Often confused with swede, turnips are smaller and have a stronger taste.

Sliced very thinly, turnips can be eaten raw. They are also great cooked in stews and casseroles.

1 Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. To make the dauphinoise, layer the potatoes in a roasting dish, seasoning every other layer.

2 In a jug, mix the cream, milk, garlic and thyme leaves. Season, then pour over the potatoes. Grate a thin layer of Parmesan

over the top, then cover with foil and bake for 1 hr. Remove the foil and cook for a further 15 mins until browned on top.

3 Meanwhile, rest the steaks at room temperature for 10-20 mins.

4 Heat a griddle pan over a high heat.

Season the steaks on both sides, sprinkle with thyme, then rub the oil over the steaks to cover. When the pan is hot, add the steaks. For rare steaks, fry for 2 mins on each side; for medium, fry for 3 mins on each side; for well done, fry for 4 mins each side. When cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the pan and leave to rest for at least 5 mins.

5 Mix the watercress in a bowl with the dressing. Serve with the dauphinoise and steak. As part of a healthy diet, we recommend this recipe for a special occasion or treat.

‘

I’ve got mad love for ’shrooms prepared like crispy bacon. Pair them with the creamy texture of carbonara and you have a super comforting dish.

Derek Sarno, Tesco director of plant-based innovation 1 First, make the mushroom ‘bacon’.

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the mushrooms in a small bowl with the soy sauce, oil, paprika, garlic granules and º tsp black pepper; stir to coat. Set aside to marinate for 15 mins. Spread evenly over a lined baking sheet and bake for 30 mins, then set aside.

2 Meanwhile, heat the dairy-free butter in a saucepan over a mediumhigh heat. Add the onion and garlic and fry for 3 mins until they begin to soften. Stir in the flour then gradually add the wine, whisking to create a smooth roux. Whisk in the milk, miso, smoked paprika, garlic granules and some seasoning and simmer for 5 mins. Remove from the heat, put in

’

a blender and blitz until smooth.

Transfer to a clean saucepan and reheat over a low-medium heat, stirring regularly.

3 Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling water for 10-12 mins or until al dente, adding the peas for the last 3 mins. Drain then return the spaghetti and peas to the pan. Pour over the creamy sauce, then add the capers and mushroom ‘bacon’. Mix well, then serve immediately sprinkled with the parsley.

Y

ou’d be forgiven for not feeling your best in the middle of winter. Your New Year’s resolutions might be long forgotten, but you still want to eat well, and one of the best ways to do that is to make sure you don’t skip breakfast.

Eating something in the morning increases your energy levels, aids concentration and helps you snack less before lunch but, despite this, millions of people in the UK still leave the house without eating breakfast.

If you’re one of them then why not try Activia yogurt; it’s perfect on its own if you’re in a rush, or in one of these delicious overnight oats recipes (left). Activia is source of nutrients such as calcium, which helps maintain healthy bones, and vitamin D, which supports the normal functioning of your immune system. Every pot has 4 billion live cultures too.

There are so many fruity flavours to discover, such as strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, mango and fig.

Start each morning with the fresh taste of mild and creamy Activia yogurt.

Activia, £2 for 4 x 125g (50p each) and £3 for 8 x 125g (38p each).

1 Preheat the oven to gas 9, 240°C, fan 220°C. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Squeeze the sausage meat out of its casings and roll into cherrysized balls. You should be able to make 4-5 balls from each sausage.

2 Cook the pasta in the boiling water for 7 mins until al dente, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 100ml of the cooking water.

3 Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook the meatballs for 4 mins. Add the peppers and cook for 5-6 mins until the meatballs are browned and the peppers are starting to char.

4 To make the pesto, blitz the spring onions, spinach, pecorino, vegetable stock, most of the basil and the remaining oil in a food processor until smooth; season with pepper.

5 Return the drained pasta to the saucepan. Stir in the pesto, reserved cooking water, meatballs and peppers.

Tip into an ovenproof dish, top with the mozzarella and bake for 15 mins. Season with black pepper and serve scattered with the reserved basil leaves.

1 Briefly blitz the flour and salt in a food processor. Add the eggs and blitz for 1 min or until it resembles breadcrumbs. Tip out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5-10 mins until you have a smooth, soft dough.

Shape into a ball, wrap in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins.

2 Meanwhile, boil half the peas for 3 mins. Drain, run under cold water to cool, then drain well. Put in a bowl with 1 tbsp oil and crush with a fork. Stir in the ricotta, chives and chopped mint; season. Cover with clingfilm and chill.

3 Divide the pasta dough into 4 pieces, wrap 3 in clingfilm and return them to the fridge. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the other piece to 15 x 50cm.

4 Place 5 heaped teaspoons of filling along a long side of the pasta, with a 2cm border along the edge and about 4cm between each scoop. Fold the pasta in half lengthways over the filling and press down around it. Cut into 5 ravioli and use a fork to seal the edges.

Dust with flour and set aside. Repeat with the remaining pasta and filling.

5 Bring a very large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the ravioli one by one, then the remaining peas. Cook for 4 mins until al dente. Gently drain and return to the pan. Add the remaining oil and the zest; gently toss to coat.

Season with black pepper, scatter over the reserved mint leaves and serve with the lemon slices and grated cheese.

COOK’S TIP Having damp hands will make shaping the meatballs easier, as the mince won’t stick to your Á¢ ÖÚ

1 Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Line a baking tray with nonstick baking paper. Prepare 12 fortunes on slips of paper, roughly 7 x 1cm.

2 Beat the egg whites, oil and vanilla extract in a jug until combined. Mix the flour, sugar and cornflour in a bowl. Pour the egg mix into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon, beating out any lumps. Set aside to rest for 5 mins.

3 Drop a tablespoon of the mixture onto the baking sheet and, using the back of a metal spoon, spread into a 10-12cm circle. The mixture can be quite thin in places, almost see-through. Repeat until you have 3 circles.

4 Bake in the centre of the oven for 5-6 mins until the edges are just browning but the centre is still pale.

5 Remove from the oven and, working quickly, peel a cookie from the paper.

Place a message in the middle and fold the cookie in half, enclosing the message. Gently bend the cookie in half again, pinching the ends to seal, and leave to set in a muffin tin – the cookie will uncurl slightly but the muffin tin will help it retain its shape.

6 Repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining mixture. Don’t be tempted to work in larger batches, or the cookies will harden before you have time to fold them.

7 Dip the ends of the cooled fortune cookies in the melted chocolate and sprinkle with desiccated coconut (if using); allow to set. Will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container. As part of a healthy diet, we recommend this recipe for a special occasion or treat.

MASTERCLASS

Tikka masala Smoky and creamy with just enough heat - it’s a takeaway classic for a reason. But could you make it from scratch? Let us show you how…

CHICKEN TIKK A MASALA Serves 8 Takes 2 hrs plus marinating Cost per serve £1.16 100g ginger, peeled and roughly chopped 5 garlic cloves, peeled 5 tbsp low-fat Greek-style yogurt 1 tbsp smoked paprika 1 tbsp garam masala 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp salt 900g chicken breast, cut into large cubes For the sauce 12 green cardamom pods, seeds only Ω tsp black peppercorns 1 small cinnamon stick 1 tbsp garam masala 1 tsp ground fenugreek 2 tsp vegetable oil » £ É«ÉÂÛ Â »÷ « £ £«Â£ Ô »   »÷ £ ã 3 garlic cloves, crushed 1 red chilli, sliced 2 x 400g tins peeled plum tomatoes 100ml whipping cream 1 tbsp caster sugar fresh coriander, to serve 1 tsp nigella seeds, toasted (optional)

1 In a small food processor, blitz the 100g ginger and 5 garlic cloves to a purée. Mix with the yogurt, paprika, garam masala, lemon juice and salt in a non-metallic bowl. Add the chicken and stir thoroughly until evenly coated.

Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hrs, or overnight.

2 To make the sauce, toast the spices in a dry frying pan over a low heat, stirring, for 3-4 mins until they become aromatic and slightly darker in colour.

Remove and reserve the cinnamon Ûã« ¸ 㨠 £ «Â 㨠Ûã «ÂãÉ Â powder with a pestle and mortar.

3 Heat the oil in a large, wide saucepan over a low heat. Add the onion and a 64

pinch of salt, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins. Uncover and cook for 5 mins, or until it starts to caramelise. Add the grated ginger, garlic and half the red chilli and cook, stirring, for 2 mins. Add the ground spices, cinnamon stick and a splash of water. Stir for 1-2 mins until very aromatic, then add the tomatoes, rinsing each can with 200ml water to get all the juice. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer gently for 35-40 mins, stirring occasionally, until reduced.

4 Preheat the grill to high. Thread the chicken onto 8-10 metal or soaked wooden skewers and put on a large baking tray lined with foil. Grill for 10-15 mins, turning halfway, or until nicely charred and cooked through.

5 Remove the cinnamon stick; purée the sauce with a stick blender until smooth. Transfer the chicken from the skewers to the sauce and heat gently for 5 mins. Stir in the cream and sugar; season. To serve, top with the coriander, nigella seeds (if using) and the remaining chilli.

MAKING THE MARINADE The acid in the yogurt and lemon juice paired with the salt in the marinade will tenderise the chicken and help it absorb the flavours.

TOASTING THE SPICES Dry-frying (toasting) spices brings out their flavour. A splash of water is added in step 3 to stop your toasted spices scorching.

The more dark brown charring you can get, the better, but you don’t want to burn the meat.

HOW TO

BALANCE THE SPICE

TOP UP THE TEXTURE

MAKE IT VEGGIE

For more spice, swap the red chilli for 2-3 green £ chillies (remove before puréeing). Don’t skimp on the smoked paprika as it gives the chicken some É¢ 㨠ÛÁɸ÷ óÉè É¢ ã  ÉÉ

Toasted nigella seeds add a lovely crunch, but you can leave them out or use crispy fried onions instead.

For a vegetarian alternative, use a mix of cubed paneer and chunks of red pepper. Marinate and cook as you would the chicken.

GET AHEAD c¨ óÉè É¢ è ÷ «ÁÔ Éó Û overnight so, if you have time, marinate the chicken and make the sauce the day before.

Reheat the sauce gently with a splash of water before adding the grilled chicken. Use readymade garlic and ginger pastes and ready-diced chicken to make it even quicker.

CREATE A CREAMY SAUCE A splash of cream balances the óÉè Û Â Á ¸ Û ã¨ Û è ÁÉ luxurious. For a lower-fat option, use 6 tbsp yogurt instead. Make sure to blend the sauce – it creates the characteristic smooth texture.

1 Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. In a large ovenproof frying pan (about 28cm wide and 5cm deep), heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and potatoes and cook for 15 mins until golden and the potatoes have softened.

2 Add the butter and, once melted, add the flour and stir for 1 min.

Gradually add the milk, stirring to make a smooth sauce. Increase the heat slightly, bring to the boil and simmer for 2 mins until thickened.

Remove from the heat.

3 Add the crème fraîche and parsley.

Season well. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then stir in the sweetcorn and peas, and top with the haddock.

4 On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry so that it is large enough to cover the pan. Use the rolling pin to help drape it over the pan, then

press down firmly around the edge.

Trim around the pan and reserve the trimmings for decorating, if you like.

Brush with 2 tbsp milk and decorate with the trimmings, if using. Brush again with milk, then bake for 25-30 mins until golden and crisp.

Leave to stand for 5 mins then serve.

GET AHEAD You can do steps 1-3 up to 2 days in advance, but don’t add the haddock. Leave to cool, then cover and chill in the fridge. When ready to cook, warm the filling in the ovenproof frying pan over a low heat, then top with the haddock and continue from step 4.

And now you can do even more to be super-green thanks to Eco Active, a range of environmentally friendly home cleaning products from Tesco.

The range is made from plant-based, non-toxic, biodegradable ingredients and includes cleaning-cupboard essentials such as washing-up liquid, fabric conditioner, laundry detergent, toilet cleaner and a multi-surface cleaner. What’s more, they’re up to 50 per cent cheaper than other eco cleaning products. They all cut through grease and grime brilliantly and are available in a choice of natural scents.

The bottles contain up to 45 per cent recycled plastics and, of course, can themselves be recycled once empty.

You only need to spray on a small amount of Eco Active Pink Grapefruit Multisurface Cleaner, £1.50/750ml to get the same great results you’d expect from standard cleaning products. Simply spray and wipe to leave clean, citrusy scented work surfaces.

Eco Active Pomegranate Washing Up Liquid, £1/500ml, has a longlasting foam that is great at cutting through grease to leave your dishes, glasses, pots and pans sparklingly clean.

Eco Active Eucalyptus Toilet Cleaner, £1.50/750ml, does all that – and more. It cuts through limescale, dirt and grime and leaves a hygienically clean, fresh minty aroma. And, as part of the Eco Active range, it’s kind to the planet too.

Instead make several. A daily list (buy milk, post birthday card) and a weekly list (write thank-you note, tidy kitchen drawer) work well. Transfer things from the weekly to the daily list if and when necessary. Also create a »«¢ »«Ûã ãÉ «Â »è ã¨«Â£Û Ûè ¨ Û Ô ÷«Â£ É ã¨ credit card within six months, or saving up for a dream holiday – goals you can work towards – that you look at regularly to remind yourself.

You might hope you can achieve 10 tasks a day but if something goes wrong with task ÂèÁ ¢Éè ô¨« ¨ Á ÂÛ ÷Éè  ã «ۨ 㨠Ûã ÷Éè Éè» ¢ » ã /ÂÛã try the ‘3+2 method’: tackle three big things and two small things each day. It’s good for ÁÉ » ãÉ £ ã ÛÉÁ 㨫£ ÛÁ »» ÉÛÛ É the list quickly – and if you don’t get to it, a small item is easier to transfer to the top of tomorrow’s to-do list.

Allocate a time slot to each task – it’ll help you plan your day and work out if you’re being over-ambitious. Also add detail. If you need to call an electrician, include their ÂèÁ ÛÉ ÷Éè ó ÂÉ / Éè» Â ã  «ã excuse for not doing it. And don’t just write Ô «Âã »«ó«Â£ ÉÉÁ ÛÔ « K DÉ ÷ Û »«Ûã ô «ã Yè Éô ôÉÉ ôÉ ¸ »» ¨É» Û On Tuesday: ‘Emulsion ceiling, undercoat woodwork’. It’ll feel more manageable and help you plot your way through the task without missing anything.

If you don’t get everything done – hey, tomorrow’s another day! But if you’re constantly transferring one item to the next day’s list, ask yourself why. Are you not calling Auntie Sue because you don’t want to speak to her? If that’s the case, your to-do »«Ûã Û¨Éè» hÛ ö èÛ ãÉ £ ã É ã¨ phone after 10 minutes’. Once you’ve got a plan, carrying out the task is a breeze. Write «ã Éô £ ã «ã É ÉÛÛ «ã É

Train yourself to sleep well A whopping 80 per cent of us suffer from a lack of sleep, but there are steps you can take to ensure that you get your ZZZs… re you getting the recommended eight hours of sleep a night?

The Sleep Council’s Great British Bedtime Report revealed three-quarters of us sleep fewer than seven hours a night, while 12 per cent of us É»÷ Á  £ ó ¨Éè Û The World Health Organization now labels sleep deprivation as a global health epidemic, with »É£ ã Á ãÛ »«¸ »÷ ãÉ » to weight gain, increased colds  « ã Û ]É ô¨ ã  ô do to get in the eight-hour club?

A

(thesleepschool.org). ‘The problem is that it’s easy to remain “switched on” as work, TV, social media and internet browsing all keep your brain awake.’

To combat this, build these easy steps into your bedtime routine.

Prepare yourself for sleep Your body and your mind need to » ö ãÉ »»Éô ÷Éè ãÉ ÉÔ É So while our busy-ness culture may be exhausting us, it’s also stopping us from falling asleep. Experts suggest setting an alarm about 40 minutes before bed, so time can be devoted to winding down.

Listen to wind down What’s keeping you up?

Your bedroom might be a haven of peace and tranquillity, and perhaps you heed the advice to keep technology out and maintain total darkness (any light can trick your body into thinking it’s time to wake up). You might even have realised a cool temperature can help you sleep (16-18ȇC is optimum). But even if your room is the perfect place, your body  Á«Â ôÉ 㠶èÛã Ûô«ã ¨ É «¢ you’ve been rushing around or bombarding it with visuals before getting into bed. ‘The distinction between daytime and evening activity levels becomes blurred, often at the cost of sleep,’ says Dr Guy Meadows, a director at c¨ ]» Ô ] ¨ÉÉ» ô¨« ¨ É Û insomnia therapy courses online 88

‘Remember how you loved a bedtime story when you were young?’ says Alex Tew, co-founder of Calm. ‘It was relaxing. As a child, you have less on your mind and sleep comes easily. Our Sleep Stories aim to take you to a simpler mental state and help your brain prepare for deep rest, as it did when you were young.’

We know we said to keep tech out of the bedroom, but the relaxation app calm.com teaches meditation and includes Sleep Stories narrated by mindfulness experts and celebs. If apps aren’t your thing, play calming music.

Relax your body Start with progressive muscle relaxation, which involves consciously relaxing every muscle

in your body in turn. It’s easiest if you clench each muscle group Ûã ]ã ã ã ÷Éè ãÉ Û Ô É£ ÛÛ to your feet and calves, your thighs and buttocks, stomach, hands, arms, shoulders and your face and jaw. Deep-breathing ö «Û Û ¨ »Ô ÷Éè É ÷ ÉÔ ãÉÉ The ‘four-seven-eight’ technique has been described as a natural tranquilliser. First exhale through your mouth making a ‘whoosh’ sound. Then close your mouth and inhale through the nose for a count of four. Hold your breath for a count of seven, then exhale through the mouth (making the ‘whoosh’ sound) for a count of eight. Repeat three times.

Welcome your worries A busy mind plagued with health ÉÂ ÂÛ Â Â « » Âö« ã« Û Â work woes is one of the biggest things stopping us from sleeping, especially when we wake up in the night. A survey of over 5,000 adults by Swinton and The Sleep School found that an average adult with worries lies awake at night seven times a month, losing over an hour’s sleep each time.

The new advice? Don’t try to block out your stress. ‘If you try to avoid worrying thoughts, they tend to come back stronger,’ says sleep expert Dr Guy Meadows.

‘By welcoming your thoughts, you’re changing the way you relate to them. Your brain relearns that the thoughts aren’t

WELLBEING

scary and you have no need to be on red alert.’ This means your £¨ã É «£¨ã ö É Û 㠣 ã switched on.

After welcoming your thoughts, the key is to learn how to let them go. ‘Mindfulness is a tool that allows you to notice your worries, then release them,’ continues Dr Meadows. ‘Practise by focusing your attention on your breath. If your mind wanders into a thought, consciously turn your attention back to your 㨠] « Âã« Û ¨¨ Û shown that regular daily practice can actually reduce the size of your amygdala, the part of your brain responsible for worry.’

Still can’t sleep?

It might sound crazy, but many experts say sometimes less is more when it comes to being in bed. ‘Tossing and turning leads you to associate your bed with being frustrated,’ says Dr Craig Hudson. ‘Instead, associate wakefulness with a chair that you place by your bed. If you’re awake for more than 15 minutes, get up and sit in the chair.’ Do something relaxing while you’re there, like read - just don’t fall asleep, warns Dr Hudson. ‘When you feel sleepy, get back into bed. This will reinforce to your brain that when you’re in bed, you’re ready for sleep.

LOOKING AFTER YOUR FLOWERS • Remove flowers from the packaging and remove lower leaves.

Re-cut stems at a 45-degree angle – this creates a larger surface area for the flowers to drink.

• Check that the water is fresh.

• Never leave flowers in direct sunlight or in draughts.

• Keep blooms away from ripening fruit, as it gives off a gas called ethylene and will cause your flowers to lose their longevity.

• Snip off lily stamens so they do not stain furniture or clothing.

TRIED AND TESTED

Cream of the crop Body creams promise to leave skin silk y and moisturised.

Our testers choose the smoothest operator

DOVE DERMASPA GOODNESS3 BODY CREAM, £6 Fran This had a refreshing feel and my skin felt smoother straight away – and stayed smooth throughout the day.

Lisa Quite a thick cream, which left my skin with a slight shine but not feeling very moisturised.

Antonia This was softening and quick drying, but not thick enough to really moisturise my dry skin.

AVEENO DAILY MOISTURISING BODY YOGURT, £6.50 Fran This light and luxurious cream gave my skin a slight sheen, which I liked. My skin still felt soft the next day.

Lisa I found this very light and easy to use but, while my skin felt quite moisturised, it didn’t look smooth.

TO P

Antonia Although this was softening, my skin didn’t stay feeling moisturised for very long.

SCOSMETICS NOURISHING BODY CREAM WITH OLIVE OIL, £2.10 Fran I liked the thick texture and cooling effect, but the moisturising benefit wasn’t as long-lasting as some.

TO P

Lisa My favourite: easily absorbed, gorgeous smelling and my skin felt soft and velvety, even after 24 hours.

Antonia Thick, but absorbed surprisingly well and felt refreshing.

Kept my very dry skin moisturised all day.

PHOTOGRAPHY PIXELEYES

OUR PANEL ASTRAL ORIGINAL FACE & BODY MOISTURISER, £3.50 Fran A very rich cream and extremely moisturising, but too shiny for me and I found the scent old-fashioned.

Lisa My skin felt immediately soft and silky, and this cream had a long-lasting moisturising effect.

Antonia This didn’t soak in very well, but my skin felt soft for a long time, even on my chapped hands!

Fran Yates, 59, from Norfolk, has normal skin with some dry patches.

Lisa Hewitt, 49, from Essex, has normal skin that’s dry in the winter.

A little research showed me that resistance bands are not only cheap, but portable (perfect for working out on holiday – well, I can dream!).

Marsha’s resistance band diary WEEK 1 Feeling a bit apprehensive, I go to see my coach, Ian, who’s going to show me what to do. He’s very reassuring and tells me that to get an all-over workout I just need a ÚâçÖ ö ÈÈÖ·ÁÈ ÈÈÖ Á resistance band. I feel quite Á ÖòÈçÚ â ÖÚâ óÈçº â§ Á snap back and hurt me? But following Ian’s lead I soon feel more comfortable using it. He shows me 10 exercises: some standing, some on a ball and some jumping. We attach the band to a doorknob with the door closed, link it around my waist, then I jump forward in a squat µçÀÓ ªâ Ú õ§ çÚâªÁ¢ Á §ÈçÖ º â Ö .ò Áªâ ºö had a workout.

Bands are colour-coded. Yellow is the most common colour for light resistance. Black, blue, and purple for heavier resistance.

Avoid tensing neck muscles when working out; keep your shoulders back, chest out… relax!

The tighter the band, the more you work out, so pull it tighter for a tougher workout.

Not enough time for a full workout? Focus on exercises that use lots of big muscle groups at once: a squat to press works the legs, core, shoulders and arms.

Bands are totally portable, so add them to your suitcase when you’re away from home!

ince the introduction of the carrier bag charge in England in 2015, Tesco has cut the sale of single-use bags by an amazing 1.5 billion.

However, 700 million were still sold annually – more to do!

So last year, Tesco made the bold step to remove single-use bags completely and introduce the new ‘Bag for Life’, made from 94 per cent recycled plastic.

Since 2015, the sales of the 5p carrier bag, and now the 10p Bag for Life, have funded 10,000 community projects in England, Scotland and Wales through Tesco’s ‘Bags of Help’ scheme.

BUY A PACK. HELP END THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS.

MONTHS OF CLEAN WATER*

Together, let’s change 3.5 Million lives by 2020 with safe water.

1 in 9 people lack access to safe water. Every day, millions of people in the developing world spend up to 6 hours collecting water – taking valuable time away from work, school and caring for families.

To help end the global water crisis, Stella Artois has partnered with water.org.

The goal is to provide access to safe water to 3.5 million people in the developing world by 2020.

For every limited edition bottle or can of Stella Artois purchased, one month of clean drinking water is provided to someone in the developing world.

With your support, since 2015, we’ve already changed the lives of more than 1 million people.

Together, we can change more lives.

Together we can #GiveThemTimeBack
