Saving your cake

Submitted by Paddy, Woodstock

If your cake sinks after cooking, remove centre with pastry cutter and fill with fresh fruit & cream and serve as a dessert. Failed muffins can make a great alternative to bread for bread and butter pudding.
Jam up your gravy

Submitted by Paddy, Woodstock

The last drops of jam in the jar can add a lovely sweet complement to your gravy - rince the remnants with warm water and add to the gravy pan.
Keep veg fresh for longer

Submitted by Mirrae Rose-Gray, Durham

I run an organic food delivery business and know well that home grown and organic fruit & veg does not last very long, certainly nowhere near the length of time that irradiated stuff that the supermarkets sell, does. A FreshPod is a natural product that absorbs the ethylene gas that's given off and extends life by up to 4 times as long. They work on the irradiated stuff too!
Leftover soup

Submitted by Denise , Colchester

If you have a food processor or blitzer, any leftover casserole or cooked veg can be made into a soup for later with store cupboard ingredients. Cooked vegetables work best with a stock cube and perhaps a small amount of spaghetti or vermicelli broken up small which can be cooked until soft in the stock before adding the blitzed veg. Casseroles are good with concentrated tomato puree. Curry works well, it has a strong flavour and you really only need to add water.
Soft broccoli

Submitted by Frances Gledhill Wood, Highlands

Cut 1cm thick slice off bottom of stalk, to enable it to take in water, then put broccoli head into a glass with enough water to come halfway up the stalk, leave on windowsill overnight: this 'crisps' it up very effectively.
