I'm a big fan of frozen herbs, frozen cubes of garlic save a ton of time breaking open cloves, frozen basil still has that fresh taste and smell relative to dried.

If you make pizza in a home oven, baking steel is a game changer. It gets nice and hot and makes your crust crispy. Like a pizza stone but better.

If you have a blender, try making your own almond milk for a fraction of the cost. It's easy.

Elaborate on the almond milk, and does it work with oat and cashew as well?

Use a piping bag to fill muffin tins/cupcakes. Saves so much mess and crumpled paper.

Instead of using a pastry cutter to incorporate butter, freeze the butter then grate it with a box grater then mix it in. It stays much colder. Perfect for pastry or biscuits.

Stop mincing garlic and just get a fucking microplane. Thank you Rachel Ray.

Store ripe avocados submerged in water and they last weeks.
