Quick pickled cucumber
Here's a simple pickling liquid you can use for any vegetable you like, I've used cucumbers but you can use cauliflower, courgettes (zucchini), radishes, and even watermelon rind. Pickled vegetables are great to have in the fridge for a cheese board, salads or avocado toast. It’s also an excellent way to preserve excess vegetables you have on hand.

Crispy Bacon Cooked In Water
This is a little chefs hack I use at home to cook crispy bacon using just water in a fry pan on the stove. The reason it works so well is because the water slowly renders the fat on the bacon as the pan heats up. This gives you crispy bacon without overcooking it.

BBQ Spatchcock Chicken
Learn how to spatchcock a chicken and then cook it over coals or on your BBQ. This is one of my favourite ways to cook chicken as you get a nice char on the outside which adds to the flavour and it's still really juicy on the inside.
