Jeremy Lee, Angela Hartnett and many more pass on the tips that have saved them in the kitchen

Sandwich toasters are a really quick and easy way of cooking vegetables. Most people seem to have been given one at some time in their life, and it’s stuck at the back of the cupboard. I like to use it for purple sprouting broccoli, because you’re slightly charring and steaming them at the same time. I’ll cut a leek lengthways and grill that and chop it up.
A great pile of bowls is a boon to the cook. The best proof of this is artichokes. Whittling away at bunches of artichokes over a bowl for the leaves and a bowl of cold water with a few slices of lemon in readiness for those prepared, you get pretty nifty at these wee darlings. And you can whittle away without having this awful mess on the table and everything going on the floor. I’m constantly putting bowls in front of cooks. It helps enormously.
Taste, taste, taste! It’s a pretty basic idea, but easy to forget, and it’s the most important thing you can do to evolve as a cook. If it’s something you’ve prepared from scratch, like a fresh batch of dashi, you have to taste it, otherwise it wouldn’t be right to serve it to people. If you’re finishing off a dish someone else has started, you need to taste it. Tasting is part of the communication between chefs , and it allows you to modify a dish if it isn’t quite right.
