We’re all curious about where our food comes from. Knowing where our veg is grown or how animals are raised helps us make wise choices about how we shop and what we eat. And we’re all familiar with nutritional information on packaging, including calories, fats, protein, and so on. But have you ever thought about how what you put on your plate impacts the planet? Allow us to introduce you to the concept of carbon calories. On page 123, we explain how a simple app can help you easily understand the carbon footprint of food. We’ve included three carbon-assessed recipes for you to try, plus many more on goodfood.co.uk. It’s fun to use, so why not give it a go as you plan your meals over the two long bank…

Easy peeling LA-based food writer @suzandfood blew our minds with the revelation that swivel blade peelers not only peel when you pull them in a downwards motion, but upwards, too. We’ll never be peeling a carrot the old way again! Don’t forget to keep any leftover veg peelings to make fritters, just like our recipe developer @ailsaburtfood did on our Insta, @goodfood. Straining Our skills & shows editor @barney_desmazery has taken all the hassle out of straining stocks and broths. Next time you try to hold a plate in place while tipping liquid out of a pan, use a wooden spoon to make life easier. The larger pieces will stay in the pan and smaller debris will fall into the sieve, saving you getting splashed with hot broth.…

The secret to an amazing roast chicken is to buy the best quality you can. Take it out of the fridge an hour before you want to cook it, drizzle with olive oil and season generously, inside and out, with sea salt – probably a little more than you think. If you have one to hand, prick a lemon with a fork and crush 5-6 garlic cloves to put inside the cavity. Roast on a high heat at 220C/200C fan/gas 8 for 15-20 mins (depending on the size) to get the skin crisp, then turn the oven down to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 to finish cooking. Let it rest for 30 minutes or so. Before bringing it to the table, I always cut out the oysters – the most perfect nuggets…

Noodles with crispy tofu Tofu has a third of the carbon footprint of chicken.

I came to London in 1994. My dad visited me after two and a half years, ate at my restaurant and said, “Are you sure you want to live in this country?” I said, “What do you mean? I’ve done OK, I’ve got great reviews from people like AA Gill.” He said, “They’re English people, they’re very polite. They don’t say bad things about anyone, but I am an Indian and I’m your father – I can tell you what you’re doing wrong.” And he pointed things out to me. I think I was cooking like an Indian boy living in an Indian subcontinent. I had not adapted after coming to this country. I realised I hadn’t been cooking with the seasons. Cauliflower and oranges were winter things to me.…

Biscuit dunking is a national obsession, but there are some things to consider when choosing the best biscuit for the job. It must be delicious, but also can’t overpower the flavours of the tea; the two should work in harmony together. It must also have structural integrity – you don’t want it to crumble and fall into the cup (disaster!). We conducted tests on our favourite biscuits to test the ‘dunkability’ factor. Here are the results, plus recipes for our top dunkers.

Soften it quickly If you need a block of softened butter for a recipe, fill a glass with hot water, drain the water and place the glass over the butter. It will soften in mere minutes. Clarify it Ideal for frying (especially in Indian cooking), clarified butter has a higher burn point and won’t splutter. Simply melt it, then pour the fat solids into a jar – the milky liquid you’re left with is buttermilk, which can be used in baking. Clarified butter can be kept chilled for up to a month. Spread it cold If your butter is fridge-cold and you want it spreadable, finely grate it onto your bread or toast, then spread it. This also works if you need to soften a small amount of butter quickly…
