Here are a few useful tips:
· Always keep the kids out of the kitchen whilst cooking – I know it's an obvious one, but it's so easy to have an accident when they are running around!
· When cooking with chillies, it can be very useful to coat/ rub in your hands, a teaspoon full of ordinary cooking oil so as to form a barrier. When you've finished handling the chillies, simply wash off with soapy water.
Believe me when I tell you, that in the pats it hasn't just been my eyes that I've accidentally touched, I once made the mistake of going to the loo – that was an experience to remember, I can tell you!
· Grandma's Golden Rule: Always wash your hands before cooking or touching food. She would say, ”soap and water don't cost much and it ain't painful either!”
There are a great many exciting exotic dishes that can be prepared and cooked quite easily and quickly – but most importantly, can be given a new lease of life by just adding a few chillies and spices.
Bon appetite!
