Easter can be a nightmare for the cook in the family. There is the pressure to produce a feast, unexpected guests and then a mountain of leftovers. After the Easter Weekend tons of food worth millions of pounds are thrown away.
Preparation - In the weeks leading up to the big weekend start to run first the freezer and then the fridge down to a bare minimum. When it comes to festive food the one thing you are bound to be short of is storage space
Shop ahead - Don’t leave it until the last minute and miss losing out, but, check those use-by dates.
Examine fruit and vegetables before you buy. The spike in demand means that suppliers have to stock-pile in advance and it might not be as fresh as you would expect.
Some products, such as smoked salmon might have been pre-frozen to match demand so be extra careful to check freezing instructions as pre-frozen food should not be re-frozen later.
Make the most of offers in the run up to Easter and get it in the freezer.
If you plan to buy and then freeze food, buy it ready frozen, the supplier will have done a better job than you will.
Have a Happy Easter
– Avoid the full fridge, full freezer, full stomach, full bin syndrome.
