Am I the last one to join Tiktok? Probably. 

Well, in case you’re living under the same rock as me, it’s a culinary goldmine. From creamy, citrusy one-pot pastas, to pitting an avocado with your bare hands, there are some absolute gems. And, to be honest, some full-on misfires. 

Disasters aside though, these three hacks have genuinely transformed how I cook: saving time, money, washing up and lowering my carbon footprint. Tiktok, you’ve stolen my heart. 

The grape-est dessert of all time

Whip these up and see why they’re a cult classic. They’re healthy-ish, taste like sweets, and so easy. Pop freshly washed grapes (still wet) in a tupperware, sprinkle in your favourite jelly powder, shake and freeze. Snack-tastic.

Never drain pasta the same way again

We’ve all been draining pasta wrong until now. Put the colander in the pot before draining your pasta and keep as much as you need. Saves a measuring jug, and that liquid gold, so your sauces are as silky as Italy intended.

Magic up pizza in a pinch

This summer’s been a scorcher, so if preheating ovens sounds downright crazy here’s a quicker, more planet-friendly option. Swap pizzas for tortillas, add toppings and bake or grill for 5 min or until crispy and molten-delicious on top.
