Cooking is great fun and we've made it easy with our step by step recipes. Before you start, take time to organised. choose your recipe and read it all the way through, then check that you have all the ingredients. collect everything you are going to use - all the ingredient and all the equipment.

If your recipe calls for chopped or shredded ingredients, do this before you begin, also, open any cans and wash any vegetables or fruit. Grease any baking tins or microwave cookware if you need too.


If you need to use the oven for baking, turn it on to the correct temperature before you start the recipe. Arrange the oven shelves at the height you want before turning the oven on. Before you start cooking in the microwave, make sure you know the methods and equipment that you need to know to make every recipe a success.

When you have finished cooking, clean up the kitchen. Put away all the ingredients and the equipment you have used. Wash the dishes, start with washing the least dirty dishes and then work up to the really messy pans. Dry dishes and put them back in their place. Wipe down your work surface with a clean towel.
