How to Easily Peel Fresh Ginger – My Weekend Top Tip

September 30, 2018 by Christian Gott 2 Comments

Ginger

One thing I really love about cooking is that you are always learning new recipes, techniques, and tips like the one I’m going to share today. I don’t know about you, but I always struggle with even the sharpest of knives to peel raw ginger without losing lots of the flesh alongside the skin.

My Murgh Makhani – National Curry Week

October 10, 2017 by Christian Gott 1 Comment
