Tips/Tricks
- a bouquet garni is when you wrap herbs/spices in muslin cloth and place it in with the food you are cooking. It allows the aromatics to add flavour to the dish and the ability to remove them easily from the dish so you aren’t fishing out cloves.
- the red cabbage does take time to make but it’s something that can be easily made in advance and reheated easily.
