Or follow these simple instructions and you’ll soon be cracking eggs like Jamie Oliver.

Crack the egg by holding it firmly and striking the side of the egg against a completely flat surface like the kitchen worktop or a cutting board. Be careful not to strike it too hard, or you will smash the egg all over your hand. You just need to crack it
Hold the cracked egg over the bowl. Apply gentle pressure with your index fingertip and thumb on either side of the crack. As the crack opens up, use your thumb to push the half of the egg nearest your thumb tip in one direction while using your middle finger to pull the half of the egg nearest the heel of your hand in the other direction.

It’s that time of year where those New Year resolutions are beginning to waiver, and those fast foods are beginning to look mighty tempting again. We all start the year thinking must eat more veg, must drink more water but as we get back into our busy lives, the best intensions go out the window. A good way to revive your health regime is to invest in a smoothie maker and put together your own kick-ass smoothies. Instead of throwing out fruit that is looking a bit wrinkly and near the end of its life, use it to mash up all those vegetables and fruits you promised to eat. We are still in a credit crunch after all…
