Tip: Boiling Veggies

I know boiling seems to have fallen from favour in recent years but it is still the best way to cook mashed potatoes!

When boiling veggies add 1 tsp salt per litre and a little sugar to those veg that are a more mature.

If the veggies grow under the ground like carrots and potatoes, start them in cold water and bring to the boil.

If the veggies grow above the ground like asparagus and broccoli, start cooking in boiling water.
