Flexitarian

friend

Give veggie stews

orcasseroles oomph by

adding a spoonful of

Marmite to your base stock. It adds

umami richness that you can’t

get with veg alone. It peps up all

sorts of dishes, from soya mince

bolognese to cheesy savoury scones.

Stale bread

Whizz up odds

and ends of

leftover bread to

make crumbs,

then fry in a pan

with olive oil and

butter until crisp

and golden.

Tr a n sfer t o a

bowl, then mix

with salt, black

pepper, dried

chilli and finely

chopped

rosemary, thyme

or sage. Store in

an airtight bag in

the freezer and

sprinkle over

bakes or sausage

casseroles.
