Use Flavoured Oil
Feel free to create your own flavoured oils to add variety to your food. Nothing could be easier: just chop an ingredient like chilies, garlic or fine herbs into a bottle of oil. Our favourite to go with pasta? Oil flavoured with basil. A real treat!
Tightly sealed goat cheese will keep in the fridge for around 2-3 weeks. With soft cheeses, it’s generally best to store them in a resealable plastic container. For harder cheeses you can wrap them in parchment or wax paper along with foil or cling film to prevent them from drying out.
Before serving goat cheese it’s best to take it out of the fridge first and let it sit for half an hour or so so you can serve it at room temperature.

Lemon zest is the yellow outer layer of the fruit and is a simple way to add more flavour to your meals. There are a few different ways that you can zest a lemon. The easiest way would be to use a citrus zester or a microplane, though if you don’t either of these in your kitchen, not to worry there are other ways you can zest your lemons such as a cheese grater, simply place the lemon over the side with the smallest holes and grate until you have collected enough zest.
A potato (or vegetable) peeler is another great tool for getting your lemon zest, though it requires a bit more work as you will need to peel off the yellow skin and then finely dice with a knife.
