Luckily there are a few simple ways to enhance\u00a0the way we cook at home to make even better food!<\/p>\n<h1><em>Thyme<\/em> To Grow Your Own<\/h1>\n<p>Having fresh herbs at hand in the garden or kitchen is wonderful. You just can&#8217;t beat the smell of freshly picked basil or finely chopped coriander, but the reality is that tending to herbs is often the last thing we think of after a long\u00a0day. Our newest kitchen accessory the self-watering herb pot is the\u00a0answer we&#8217;ve been waiting for!<\/p>\n<p>This ingenious little pot has a unique self-watering function that&#8217;s designed to create an organic irrigation system. This allows steady growth of your herbs in every season. Once you have it filled with water your herbs will have enough water for up to 14-21 days. So while you&#8217;re away your much-loved herbs won&#8217;t wilt away. You can easily transfer a shop bought herb plant into the pot or grow from seed if you have green fingers.<\/p>\n<p>Plus the contemporary glass design looks good enough to make a stylish centre-piece on your dining table.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/self-watering-herb-pot-blue.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3271 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/herb_pot_blue-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/herb_pot_blue-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/herb_pot_blue-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/herb_pot_blue-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/herb_pot_blue-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/herb_pot_blue-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/herb_pot_blue-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/herb_pot_blue.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you love to have lots of herbs ready for meal times, our triple self-watering herb keeper will make a wonderful addition\u00a0to your countertop.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3275 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Self-Watering-Herb-Keeper-Triple-with-Herbs-and-Pack-HR-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Self-Watering-Herb-Keeper-Triple-with-Herbs-and-Pack-HR-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Self-Watering-Herb-Keeper-Triple-with-Herbs-and-Pack-HR-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Self-Watering-Herb-Keeper-Triple-with-Herbs-and-Pack-HR-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Self-Watering-Herb-Keeper-Triple-with-Herbs-and-Pack-HR-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Self-Watering-Herb-Keeper-Triple-with-Herbs-and-Pack-HR-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Self-Watering-Herb-Keeper-Triple-with-Herbs-and-Pack-HR-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Self-Watering-Herb-Keeper-Triple-with-Herbs-and-Pack-HR.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Reduce Oils<\/h1>\n<p>If there&#8217;s\u00a0one kitchen essentials we just can&#8217;t live without it&#8217;s a great wok! Stir-frys\u00a0are a fantastic quick meal and a great way to use up all those lovely vegetables\u00a0in the cupboard. However, a bad pan will make cooking harder and force you to reach for too much oil to avoid food sticking. Overuse of oil can ruin the flavours and textures of the good, wholesome ingredients you spent all that time chopping, plus it&#8217;s a little unhealthy. Invest in a good wok and it will see you through the years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/ceramic-coated-wok-30cm.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3277 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ceramic_wok-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ceramic_wok-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ceramic_wok-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ceramic_wok-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ceramic_wok-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ceramic_wok-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ceramic_wok-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/ceramic_wok.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Go Fresh<\/h1>\n<p>One of the best changes we&#8217;ve made in the kitchen is to make our\u00a0own sauces. Yes, it&#8217;s true,\u00a09 times out of 10 we are opting to make our sauces from scratch instead of spending on pre-made from the shops! Once you make the move away from pre-made\u00a0sauces\u00a0and dips you&#8217;ll never look back. The taste is far better, there are far less bad ingredients like preservatives and you can tweak the recipes to suit your own tastes perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Start simply with a basic\u00a0tomato\u00a0sauce\u00a0for a spaghetti\u00a0bolognese or a basil pesto and go from there.
