Surprising numbers!

Early in January we uploaded a series of very short videos based on skills which I consider useful when cooking. Funnily enough, the one I expected to be popular hasn’t hit a chord with many people – it’s the “How to segment an orange” one. This is something I really enjoy doing and I use it as the basis for a fresh fruit salad, with little pith and no pips as well as lots of juice. Never mind. Lining a baking tray went down well, but it’s separating an egg that’s been the most successful. Whilst tipping from one shell to the other works well most of the time, it’s the use of an egg cup to hold the yolk in place while tipping away the white which seems to have the popular vote. Shortly after those were uploaded we added a soup, leek and potato, which is probably the most economical one I have ever shared – and it’s so delicious. I don’t know who has watched it but it has had far more viewers more quickly than most other videos we’ve shared. So, whoever you are, thanks – and I’m glad it was helpful. x
