"Make a list of what to prepare and buy. By prioritizing certain tasks, you can save time and complete them more efficiently.
Keep your work area clean and organized. A tidy workspace makes it easier to find items while cooking.
Familiarize yourself with the recipe's method. This will help you get started quickly and smoothly.
Ensure your vegetables are fresh. When buying them, check their freshness and shelf life. Otherwise, you may find that your greens spoil before you even start cooking!
Note down any unusual ingredients in advance. This will give you time to research where to buy them. I recommend Waitrose for hard-to-find ingredients; they might be pricey, but they can really elevate your dish.
If possible, try the recipe at a restaurant or when you're out. This way, you'll already be familiar with the flavor profile of the dish you're about to make."

"Preparing in advance is also essential! Another effective way to save time is by prepping your ingredients beforehand. Here are some additional tips:

Cook vegetables such as potatoes or other root vegetables the night before. This will save you time when cooking, as root vegetables can take a while to cook.
If your tomatoes have become soft, place them in a bowl of cold water with salt. This will help them regain their firmness.
If your dish requires ginger, blend it a few weeks in advance and freeze it in ice cube trays. When you need some, simply pop a cube into the pan, and it will melt while you cook.
If you're using frozen ingredients, defrost them at room temperature a few hours before you begin cooking. This way, they will be ready to use when you start preparing your dish."
