Amen Neal and the media of us and they mean 1st the story that developed well lots of us were enjoying Christmas New Year and this is the unrest in Iran the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it's over the arrest those arrested will be dealt with severely and it was hard to cover wasn't it because they had restrictions on social media to get media runs a very difficult country to cover at the best of times when it was through a spasm like this all of social slash political slash cultural and rest it does what many Middle Eastern countries do which is pull up the drawbridge is and I'm using the plural there because in most modern countries with any media profile the media profile because they are connected via the always on social platforms that we all use these on which increasingly according to academic studies I was reading over the all that these most adults are actually using to access the news as well so most people for example well go to things that Facebook or Twitter Fost before they go into the news which was the place of abode in this building but reality what they didn't do is jump through the portal of the b.b.c. Of police doing those peeping money through different platforms and then the access to news if you are a country which doesn't have access of those routes those tunnels and into your own country and therefore do not have the tunnels and it means that people construct in Asia and what happened over the festive period in Iran was that there was this bubble of discontent almost like a sort of very very elite to be optional of the various Arab Spring movements that happened a number of years ago mostly driven by young people a young demographic in the country who are unhappy with the revolutionary government's stance on V.D.'s a shoes there is a lot of unemployment in Iran specifically amongst young people so some people are seeing her come around the spending billions of dollars facing a proxy war in Syria be. You know spending and cleaning and infrastructure which will help employment figures in your own country there was also this figure males of a young women a publicly discounting hard hit job taking off and standing in top of a bar box and weaving at the stake I actually thought it was an image from months previously but the point stupid which was she was a god that is almost as of harbinger of a new wave of young people who are not as keen to live under this of autocratic theological leaders that the country has had in the recent past but of course what happened very quickly was social media was shot during those iconic images were immediately scuttled other images were put to it which confused the motto There was but misinformation from the government services which happened again to those in Egypt and all the other countries and following the model we're not entirely sure we have things done just now and that what we would regard as legitimate freedom of speech in protest has been labeled the last thing I think 72 hours a sedition and the government to see that the closed and it's all over and everything's back to normal but it was a media story and as much as we will no able to report on it in the usual ways because of the real electronic so of constructions that deeply restrictions on the police within the country yes a good bye to one of the points that Ayman made about the difficulty of reporting from Iran I am always struck every time I come back from abroad not been abroad over the holidays I can't keep returning to this kind of feeling of multiple complexity in other words that in nations that you don't know very well the stories are always much much more complex than we have a handle on our hold on or whatever and I think that is a really good example of that and that's one of the reasons why we in general in the u.k. And specifically here in Scotland does have greater international coverage of these affairs through whatever medium not as well. Through the b.b.c. Or through specialist reporting in the news press or whatever now if you look at Iran what we have here is is a nation with its own there any deep and complex history the history of the places south we also have this kind of really really complicated and and I would see complex local feature of activity and name is mentioned Syria but of course I had to that Iraq Israel and the other kind of players are not can a feature of activity the entero factionalism within it like most nations have different functions different political parties different groupings layered over is this huge big issue running the theocratic of the secular state how should a run be as a nation going forward and then of course each each nation a we know from our own nation has its own regional tensions you know within the nation itself different views purported from different regions of the of the nation and I think in a lot so ways we'll were only ever scratched the surface of places like Iran because we're never given that the complex and detailed analysis and desires and therefore as a consequence of that we tend to 3 see it through the prism is we're familiar with whose side are we on what we young people think would some deep pulling ahead job or be a good thing or a bad thing and it becomes a very narrow prism and often actually something that takes you to inaccuracy rather than to go that's what struck me I saw the trouble the old film of people saying support our leaders support our government and the temptation is then to think that all states monies but how do we know I mean presumably the because I was still it was alluding to them the factions on of it then the country self there will be people supporting the regime maybe they ought all to read out of the demographic but that's what they that's what you know state television that's what we see yet it is really really hard for us to unpick hear what's happening you know the last time there were big ructions in Iran 2009 it was quite a differ. I think it was a very middle class quite educated quite a kind of politically sophisticated process in 2009. You know smart mobile smart phones weren't really a thing and mobile phone ownership in Iran was really low smartphone ownership as now they reckon 41 percent of homeowners have a smartphone not revolutionized how we're seeing things and insight we're getting but it's it's this. Unmediated. You know role fitted that we then have to be quite clever in looking at decoding and seeing what's happening and as we all know you know it's a me Jim that's right for. Playing arrange with I mean friends since there seems to be in some old footage has been posted and being passed off as current through to it's really really difficult from us I tired I tired distance and without steer by saying you know our lack of understanding of the complexity to get a feeling on points happening you know the top line the protests seem to be about the 40 percent increase in the price of eggs. As if that's a fascinating line in itself that that could be such a big deal apparently it's one of the eggs or what the price of living has gone up so much price of food has gone up so much in eggs or what a main thing that people eat you know that that could be the case it could be an awful lot more very hard for us to get a grip on it I would so your solution to this which is used to freeze and media to drill content in that case put an experience correspondent on the ground to mediate it. Remember for example an example. Perfect so he station of her dot com What was one sort of poor on some scenes will twitches join some sense program on the b.b.c. 24 channel but he was in Afghanistan and he started to film in the street and suddenly a big protest appealed and they were battling the American flag No His reaction was not what you'd get from some of the us on course and so on which was to see these are good pictures this is all very sort of colorful stuff join seat it under and see this isn't a bunch of people and they were not doing that before we started rolling with their numbers and any minute now they're going to stop shouting a bit imperialist America the fiery of the heart of the home a flag of America and we're going to start asking me for pictures of ourselves what theme and childbirth but we put the camel's back on the start all over again not so you know the Revolutionary Guard or the revolutionary governments protest across the bridge that we saw is completely freak you need good correspondents the b.b.c. Is good to keep all my guessing in Scotland launched by the likes of David is good up to you people on the ground otherwise. You'd end up in a situation where nobody builds witness stand. The things I'm awfully Guildhall would have seen duck go into the 2nd World War Jordan Reed with a swap and the Bolshevik revolution a new one with the been there with the l.a. Commas back in the Crimean War That's what we do you get in the middle of you media and you explain what your sources I wonder thought in a global world they may not you know 100 percent agree but I think in a global world there's another dynamic which Iran and a whole range of other countries have and that is that historically people have migrated away from them and we know that diaspora often see the story very different from our resident within it and so in that came a globalized world is remarkable if you go to somewhere like for example Miami and speak to kind of right wing Cuban activists they've got the anybody different almost a pathological hatred of Cuba you know even although they are themselves Cuban it's true as well in the production Rican community that you have factions that are absolutely committed to the poor to Rican story of independence and all the people that see themselves effectively as a seat of America even closer to home the group of people who may have been called Solving Fenians who have good very strong opinions sitting in Scotland but yes I know I've heard them and I know some of the most well and you know is that old thing that diaspora does generate a very different kind of story because if you look at Iran how many generations know of people of left Iran people that were very wealthy adjoining their original arena and revolution will now be in the eighty's and ninety's and I've had children maybe grandchildren great grandchildren and yet people who have come more recently here in Scotland have come as part of the kind of global global diaspora and their views will be immensely complex and and and and and determined by their own story let's move on or we want to look ahead but let's just very briefly before we do look back against us your turn to start let's look at the end of the year traditionally we talk. 1st babies born we talk about the news on his list we talk about fireworks what grabs your eye well one of the things about it is you know I am quite happy to put my biases up forward in the us I've always found the honor system to be a little bizarre I mean there's no question it's they are about the preservation of certain kinds of elites within the culture and enabled to believe there are people who you know you look at the think well fair enough if that's the way that people want to reward the famous or their or the well known or the whale in chief and whatever go ahead but I actually find this year's on our list to be incredibly depressing people who are in the hour who'd already Cain of played a role in the in the political stage you know I'm thinking of someone like Nick Clegg who really his reputation has been severely damaged and I actually when I saw that he was being farmer or not it just draws into Cain of a into relief that the way in which our society in the u.k. He walks and whether our on our system there is about the preservation of the elites rather than actually recognised in public service no recognising public service and Tyler legitimate thing to do and I don't like having a go at their local law women who is what the scene be for you know of 60 years and has been rewarded for a contribution to a community all well and good why I don't like seeing is people who are already well rewarded for the job that they did being for the rewarded and being given places in the House of Lords where they're not elected and they're not a cunt and about as I think most people would agree there should be some kind of a board system and you know you do Ward people who do great things and whether you whether we pick the right one of the not that's that's an argument we have as well as do it lots of we would agree with you of the people who have already succeeded in the system but we want to talk more about the predictability of the coverage we . We always talk about the on the system we always talk about the fireworks we you know which what is it about that time of years we just we're not too busy yet there's very little happening there's very little and x. And last there's a political situation like Iran there's very little happening there's everyone's on a skeleton staf nobody must simply wants to be there I have to say that I tackled my piece on the best new exercise videos for 2018 with rather a heavy hearts sorry to any of you just disillusioning there I wasn't I wasn't really feeling the burn as I as I wrote it it does feel like a time of year where everything happens to root and is on the diary and the owners lesser one of the things that you can rely on for a big story so unless there is some external not true disaster but the actual story there isn't someone you there yes there's often something about a day you know there is quite often something this was a quiet year and I think rather just exposed the way that we slightly go through the motions I think there's tons of things and I think there's also what we see journalism as well heeled assumption is that because nobody is a little skilled and stuff that things are happening one glance across the mostly on Christian world the globe will see that those things do and stop and simply not true disasters don't stop because of a feat daily beat up by the bust of a Savior. There's a market forced pushed me to across the whole of these but you know I'm still talking about the royal They are no system was that what I thought was there was quite subtle royal propaganda and the media called instantly. The results always stuff about the crowing which is a completely unsubstantiated on vilified on source drama based on you know Peter Morgan said by generation of well actually helping people to seem to think that realistically there was a royal NATO again who are only the 2 princes is going original 2nd world war based on war and I think the. That. And all the stuff about Prince Harley and making Marco was one of the most successful p.r. Coup is of ever seen really managed to pretty much get anything they wanted in the place with very little pushback a big factor why they exist that the paid for by the taxpayers in the 1st place and also picking up your point the role of system join one thing I would add to that is that a lot of people don't like the notion of getting something that's got the words British Empire touched or I agree with you a country should or not it's when people have done very well both the you know the new and in the new and but that's actually something which unfortunately the conventional media don't question because she has been on Petri or at the not buying into the royal math but these stories there as John mentioned the snow stories the way the studies and the fitness videos as if it had an idea Ok maybe scales and staffs but the media think that people don't want. That I think they've deluded themselves about I think that you know one of things that things that we know 'd is that the normal day to day walking rituals and routines change there's no question about it so if the past and let's say that your normal kind of way of working is that you pick up your newspaper on the way to one place take that as a as a typical Cain of event then obviously if you're not going to work maybe don't buy the paper or maybe you you know buy a different one or maybe you read magazines or whatever but I feel that because of those change patterns it is the case as well that newspapers la and the main give their own staff holidays and breaks and some people take on you leave in whatever so what you're looking to do editorially is to fill a newspaper with things that you know you can predict so that's why it's the case and let's be very transparent here we all did it we came into the studio here to do a review of the year to cover the week that we've got all in all of you know if you look back on the events of the year and that's a very common trope within journalism of this time previewing what are we worried about it because things might have happened after we recorded it there were. We didn't talk about it yeah absolutely but Elvis was already dates are. Going to let let's look at we've got 5 or 6 minutes left plenty of stories to get up to to teeth into already this year courtesy of President Trump he's also not the next Monday the 8th he'll be announcing the most dishonest and corrupt media wards of the year what are you looking forward to most in terms of coverage for the next 12 months unpicking obviously on an international level I'm dying to see who wins these these awards the fakey says I think we're already calling them and domestically I think Natalie McGarry I'm quite interested to see what happens with her and how that pans out I think that's going to be quite just see Scottish story that will be bearing some fruit in the New Year. In America back to America again the midterm election in America's just we're not we're not going to be able to to escape thoughts at all I think from a media point of view very interesting year I'm dying to see what the Guardian does going tabloid very keen to see what looks like and how that changes the game the Guardian's design has been such an important and influential thing in the whole I mean the world of newspapers that all eyes will be and not to see how that goes. In terms of the media industry I mean. You know we're all we all hold on to our hearts we all think we've got through another year and we're all still standing. I was I was quite alarmed to hear 3rd time somebody described to me as a great survivor at a Christmas party you know nobody likes to see themselves as that nobody likes to I mean nobody likes to think of themselves as an industrial relic but I mean not as what people of my generation still working in newspapers are so you know we cut our selves lucky to be here for another year so you know. I'm interested to see how that goes look at him and even still he looked ahead every year we been doing this and what you get things right. Where is the media going with news coverage Joy I think it's going to interesting to see very the new Scottish channel for the b.b.c. What So it was going to dismiss even though the investment isn't about the level we want with a look to please or the realist you and I have often talked about whether though the using the library in the little clips or stuff can be done in the margins of innovative we think there's going to be developed interest constantly in Police Scotland as we go forward as well because of the recent travails Leo I think the breaks it will skin to new to dominate the news headlines quite rightly I think the journals of job of to explain the relevance over things like those will impact people which brings one other big one which are things going to be a corner in the u.k. The reality is that the trailers for breaks have not really begun to really help people who have as good a harvest which is that wall is also think of the one that's going to dominate and that's extraordinary Whoa the another country which is good video little to do with us apart from cultural economic reasons the United States and Donald Trump will continue to dominate because there was an extraordinary things and there's a likely office that he holds has been reduced to community with these so-called feet news media wars that he's diminished the rule to the point who is knowing nothing more than the lofting stork No wonder he's got he's able to go to bed with his McDonald's at half past 6 every evening when he's focused he bought into me because it seems as if he's good looking girls to do it and that will be the huge story the thing is the great investigative journalist Bob Woodward is going quite That's a dangerous same formula can I just say that I say I read a fantastic piece I retreated a fantastic piece from the Allstate Wall Street Journal and it was a piece of data journalism simply about crime in neighborhoods in Chicago and it was just the most fascinating analysis and one of the things I would argue here is that last on the show we talk often about the negative destructive impact of social media the upside of the rise of kind of digital is the power of data to be scraped and used and analyzed and worked on and Tom denting new modern journalism and it was an absolutely brilliant piece of. Now you can unlearn things about your culture by analyzing data that sounds boring but trust me this is a really really interesting argument about why south nearly as a Chicago are more prone to generate more darts than other areas you know because we get a huge trend for confirmation bias we tend to believe in what we want to believe in the data doesn't lie and that's increasingly coming to the fore and that's why that kinda journalism is exciting and it's good for organisations with the b.b.c. And the failure of doing that is the evidence when it's good for the new generation because their thoughts their world you know they're going out of their digital natives they're comfortable in that environment and that is an area where young journalists can really make an impact and it remains to thank you very much indeed Welcome back to b.b.c. Radio Scotland 1st program of the new year let me just remind you that news Dr will be here 4 o'clock this afternoon we will be back tomorrow we had loads and loads of text today and one of people joining Taylor saying I was taken into hospital we were talking n.h.s. The city's heart condition and I went after seeing my g.p. And the n.h.s. Was fantastic thank you for these we are back tomorrow but free of a team led by Julie till then. It's January a time when lots of us have a we think about what we might do a bit differently in the year ahead so here's the thoughts for you both making 20 teen years making seethings kitchen remotes talking about using the leftovers who are as part of the story I'm talking about saving time money and energy in the kitchen through both what we choose to cured and the how each used to kids I knew Forbes And this is the kitchen cafe and it's all about how to add a bit of thrift to your food thinking Master Chef going to clean is with me along with Zumaya whose money Soumaya her conscious are you of being thrifty and making savings when it comes to cooking I think the meats always have to be cooking from scratch you actually save more cooking from scratch than you do when you sort of buy who made things because you can get a long way out of them and you can create lots of different meals for that so that's really my key Gary talking about making savings can all seem a bit bar humbug when you still go touring the seasons are jolly of course but it's not about being tight or is it conscious of being careful in the kitchen yeah I am extremely cautious now you know I went through a time when my electricity and gas but was $300.00 pounds a month whoa and yes wow how many happen. In the main reason I think is because I wasn't paying attention so that's when I started thinking about what can smartly in the kitchen Well blogger and mom of 2 Kim McAllister is also with us Kim are going to talk about how you tackle food waste in particular a bit later but in general how conscious the use of making savings in the kitchen or it is I mean is it something you worry about much oh yeah I worry about everything I'm a mom but we do you know I am role as a parent Exactly and I get about 45 seconds in the kitchen to produce for my children a demanding so. Everything has to be said for efficiency extends far beyond any kind of fiddly things until it's into making every 2nd and every greeting Well lots of us think about saving money you were doing the shopping but how many of us think about saving money when it comes to how weak Gary you're going to show us something using a pressure cooker Yes scares is a big. What are you making. The dishes are making today our home so that says it restaurant this is this is food. Nothing poncy here just there's another point see it's get and then get Nick it you know it's survival kookery almost pressure cookers is something I've been using for about 7 years and almost remember my mom having one I mostly scan and it would make that noise in the kitchen and by every time I speak about it I get the same response people are terrifying that Allie is for the pressure cooker something that would take about an hour and a half from the often takes 20 minutes in a pressure cooker that's astonishing so to protect your best and the oven traditionally as I would have done and my past it would probably cost a bit faith the pains to kick it and in a pressure cooker through the pain that's assuming that my son is there a social time as well and I think you'd better for evil to think that I've always felt like my concept is that pressure cookers always compromise on flavor because but what do you know of the dead well whereas it's about understanding what's happening here so pressure cooker. Pressure of the food sort boils a much higher temperature so it doesn't boil $100.00 that Bozak $130.00 degrees so but what you get less obvious movement so the reason would be nice in the oven is because we don't get out Boylan is a soft long and slow it's almost you get the exact same response as long or slow odds Well let's start cooking only Ok I want to hear some sizzles I want to get some stuff action going on here so what we've got and the pressure cooker at the moment as some law that's just burned off as you would normally put on off. Color on there are just some be consumed dry cured beacon. March the convention on an induction hall which will see. So much much more to freshen up and over 90 percent of the energy used to send food on induction widows and gas you're probably looking in the face of a percent and if that immediate heat there's no wasted energy you're relieved for him is this something you would do anything I love by the pressure cooker and I don't know how one but I'm wondering if I should any more than one day someone to take refuge yourself on that I have added to the op and I get to accident issues going on at the same time not charging I think and I am. Anywhere between about 25 to you get electric ones that I love and so are you because I was given 11 of the electric one right which is like a stick and depression and what's your feeling on that you think I take up a day guzzle up a lot of energy No again it's back to use unless. The only thing I was here but electric ones you can throw from them are the one I have you can O'Con Yeah right there you run some kind of a job and they have a few Now some of them you can ground off the ferry to get anyway he'll go at it again and that's it feel safer Carette because I've got some some cop vegetables potatoes some garlic some rules me just lovely smelling amazing and the great thing about that is Gary that you could top up all of that and even 2 out and use that as he is saving time and not going to come back home and cutting up everything and take that same time efficiency out there in the yeah I tend to could go home I cook everything in one night so I do a whole week skin at the same tile a night so I go to pressure Kirkos and I cook about 4 things in the open at the same time Israel of the open is probably the most and you can only call with a character they can get for meals and that and how your kind of condom caused by a quarter of a smells criminal. So it's not just going to. A little bit alarmed so. So Gary how all of us time compression could be exactly and what are the best dishes you feel to make and I'm innocent this way it really works well stocks are really good so to me to make something that would take about 12 hours to make and you know normal or you can cut out we boxy you can make a really really good start and social classified as well so it doesn't go the way you know because of the option within the or. Jews. All docs or stuff I really love click and so. You can hear so we just for the just couldn't bring that up to the boil then pop the lead on and then set the timer and we're probably in the can for I mean this is shoulder alarm which toughest caught probably 20 minutes 20 minutes over there and it's quite safe as well because it's all in one fought so there's less chance of children coming in knocking things over and are instilling thing it's the new stuff as well it's so much more advanced I mean it's the way Bob far that time of fog grandmothers and stuff with the little with the jumping off the top new you know you can still get those pressures because you know I think the thing is you know my mom had one and it used to wash all and make all the steam she wasn't using it properly you have to turn them down so as soon as you get the pressure they get the heat as long as possible and that's where the saving comes on and he really knew the use of a really poor boat you know can offend a fraction of them they really Or have I mean I think it's the only generation that's caused the problem because with memories of the ski the noisy and the what pressure you know that an amazing thing it could I'm absolutely Well I'll be very honest I'm just waiting for the whole thing to explode back then never never going to happen I mean they're more in fashion the minute you know you think they're making a comeback you'll have to look in the shops to see you know you know and you know the range that you can buying online and you know it's hundreds so get a pressure cooker. It may be on sale as well after Christmas you never know could she have always left in all of these are all this thinking of the next saving on. So Gary of Joe's about all the savings we make and how can we track the savings I think the sum mean we have saved in for me was to see what I was spending and to do that are you can get a smart meter and a smart me of almost live information on what you're spending in homes and pains and when you see it in pounds and pence you know it really hits home it's not color or ours which no one understands it's homes and pains so you when you turn you're still evolving that instant reaction to the smart meter so soon as it turns into real money that's when you save money so what exactly is a smart meter Kim I know you know your smart meter so yeah I had a good one sitting right next to my hope which seems to be the best place given what you're saying it's am it's a little screen and it just shows you in pains and pains as you're using the electricity it can be broken down into deeds in 2 weeks you can see how much it's gas so much of its electricity is really I mean if I can use it anyone can use it's really simple and it's tiny It doesn't take up any space on your counter and the reality is we're all going to have one so the sooner you embrace it the sooner you're going to start saving money I agree it's definitely changed my habits you find yourself growing Tom in light sorry absolutely any time when kids in the show tonight has not gone that far I would have tried to you that might be right because you have a line of the go along our kids so you can you can hear the pressure and the pressure cooker and when you get any Can a noise coming just come that very soon or you get used to you know when you do a home you get used to we didn't need to be to keep the pressure Yeah Ok absolutely one way of saving a lot of money in the kitchen is to use up leftovers and so this is something really quick and easy I'm going to make a rice dish using leftover rice and leftover potatoes with turmeric and it now it's a nice dish to cook but the problem is that a lot of people have problems with reheating Rice. Any thoughts about that left. We'll have it only for having a bowl of chili or whatever we're having a curry perhaps there's always some Roy's left over what do we do to be throw away possibly but I'm all for cooling it down very quickly but then to reheat to the next day is to read to very very well you know very halts for a very long time to make it if you go to eat to think yeah yeah I think the way that a lot of this rice dishes that we cook are always cooked on the steam and this dish is exactly that same way you cover it you let the steam cook the heat through so when you open it you visually see that it's super hot still obviously I don't have a probe at home so I tend to just go with the heat coming out of my fan and that's what we're going to do today. To go on for so while someone is getting all this kind of pan nice and whore and organized here can tell us a little bit about how you tracked all that food waste the show you also give us a few tips what do you do or are you allowed to tell us you know who are well I'll tell you the only you know there was one day when I threw a packet of chicken fillets and the packet of salmon Phillis and I was basically throwing a temper in the bin and who really upset me so that galvanized me into making some changes I can't shop in the supermarket with my children because they run riot so I do all online so I shop suffering gradients which is the main thing because when you're in the supermarket check all sorts in the in the trolley and then when I'm on packing the shopping because the next number that's my house I write down also by these and that's my menu for the week and it takes 2 minutes and you put it in your fridge and it takes all the stress of cooking for your family for the week you're very organized that's going to what extent does this kind of ring home with Hugo muses sort of thing you would touch on you know this was a lot to be said for planning So again after our plan what I'm doing that week shoppin you're right I get my kids involved in shopping big pick what they want in terms of vegetables and things that are so they're buying into that player be followed by going to the travel days years are clearly older but with younger of the younger when so the ones are good at picking up you know new vegetables and stuff and they buy into it and then when they go home you know the cooked and they feel it's their vegetable because they pick. So then when I get standing there arguing with our brothers and they're like what the best pages are great on the sales you can. Commutative an experiment to see how much you could save by being a bit more thrifty than you so tell us a bit about that is quite a lot of money involved to you oh it was a lot because I was spending about 100 planes a week and then planes week and then it was consistently saving between 2 planes weeks over the course of a year that's a background that's a lot about your holiday for that's a fun whole appears Yeah right smile was I mean it was so over here we're just heating up this cumin and coriander seeds and a dried red chile it's getting it super hot and then we got out some ginger and garlic and onions to make your base with tomatoes then going to a really shine just teaspoon of Tom right because this rice is really great of this time of year really good healing and team from a few properties of the you know it's going to detox you very well you look at me when you said that because I know you. I was going to get smooth of the smells of incentives to students trying to get down and we just got this rice here that I had cooled and and obviously been lying around. Had that for dinner last night so in this plan you have. Some cumin and we're going to grab my tomatoes and onions and grab those onions pop them in there. And can move the to be some of the same here that be great to go from here so. Ok so you're growing the onions with the try the onions soften them human and a bit of Chile it's a bit of oil in the yeah this is it of oil so that's basically you know your base of your rice dish. Some lovely smell is going to get stored just simple I mean there's nothing that's onions I like to use red onions because they really shop and you know they give you that sort of robust vibrant flavor. Here and some of them removed by I always buy big bags of whole spice from Asian shops much cheaper better quality goes a long way and bend them by. By showing the black iron exactly 3 degree of saving time can such moments for Greece think again we're going to be become so apparent So this was be getting a bit excessive but you were always in the running when I think it was the level of been you know it's when you're changing your been far too frequently and. It was there in the same time that we call it like 75 different bands from the cane so I was suddenly aware of what Wait where and how many bands were filling up and how we feel that was and I like making soup so I realized I could be using a lot of these we've begun weeks bones for soup so we love roast chicken in our heist and the boys love it for their sandwiches the next day and I make soup from the bonus and then we chuck in some basic rules and you know you've got like 4 different meals at one chicken and the next year it's Super Tuesday isn't there and you know great soups you know heard some of it you know just getting back to you know what your ground would have been exactly know we're just bringing back these stoves and I'd like to buy Tupperware as the old match because I hate fishing and from but if it Oh right so it's e-coli we just call it what I mentioned one size fits all very harshly vacuum parka or that you again. Save for 10 days at home Ok about mid size they don't need to you know they will not expensive and actually both the thank you wouldn't work because professional vacuum pockets of bad expensive here I'm not one for the high use and it's half expected of the 5 to 9 and fruit trees really quick and already she's really rubs his flock of course he throws really. All morning which is exactly the base that take and I mean the amount of space I mean you want to put things in the freezer but I never have any room exactly on another thing I do is I always freeze my bread a lot of people my mum always freeze that out I said Yeah way of saving if you have respect you have a high school and spoke with me about gluten free bread now rice because my husband and my son are good feet so yeah we definitely treat the smells coming off its pound own it who on the engines and garlic and I'm just going to now put all that time Rick in and I'm going to pop your tomatoes and yeah right can I help if you couldn't stomach and drumbeats I'm going to ask you to. By tomatoes in person yes there you go you have more uses for you you do and I'm going to put a hint that passion about so came to real sort of main course for your food waste at home before you started doing what it was that maintained that it was things that go off quickly that you weren't keeping an eye on it was fruit and vegetables it was chicken breasts there the works yeah even you know my dates aren't always accurate so become wise to that I always use my chicken 2 days before the sale by because nothing worse than it being the center of your dish and then opening the packet and the smell hits you and you think well I'm going to do it out of space when you go hungry voice demanding thing as from the guards you think saving money in the kitchen is compromising quality in taste and things like that or dog definitely you know it's all about using that dream on I think shoes and using your brain rather than going home and opening the fridge and asking yourself what's for dinner that's very coarsely you can just give it to the open or if you if you plan your wreak or you know an organized good use and much less energy you're using a whole the food that you buy Israel and always buy quality foods you know always always try and buy the best account because that's where the freebooters and don't mess about it too much I think that time of night when we could because we have people are generally out there based the tired out after a day at work the kids are tired they're starving so in and I missed out should come a chore exactly but if you've got it done on one night and I make a night of a home and a canvas and you know you get hit on both Yeah and I. Know I will make an over I know a lot of money has to go to get it going and then getting stuff to eat there's always food they have you going on here it's no you see I popped in those leftover tomatoes potatoes that I had boiled potatoes into the tomatoes and all that lovely bait knows of Tom because you can see it's coming out of every hollows Yeah no golden sun So yeah there and all so then I popped in my leftover rice and I'm going to teach it to the psyche of the self when you come home and work Yeah well that's it and it's so simple. It's vegetarian Yeah it's all leftover You know we always have those potatoes that don't get it and it's good to freeze it works in my history it would work totally yeah and yes it's really simple and you just need that kind of humanity because of all the flavors and to tell us what it's nobly to the rice and the potatoes and I think it just has a lovely Mary of like flavor I think my boys would like the color of it I think they'd be really tickled by that breakdown as a whole that's probably the only thing my daughter will eat turmeric she's not crazy about it but she does like the color and that sort of make that she said that's not saffron right I said no that's not so give us we recap on how this is made it boil and a bit of cumin I think you need space you really need a human for this one and red chili if you want it and those of red onions ginger and garlic to give it that baste flavor and then pop in some tomatoes squish them up big generous teaspoon of Tom break open your left over potatoes and your rice and then tiny bit of water and heat through smelling great always talks about saving money and energy saving time even in the kitchen is also real biggie for loads of us Brucey self's there's ice that dramatically ice of my comfort zone and into the microwave so. Gary I don't think it's either the way you exacting lunch in the money but you have to do really know really if it breaks or waves for almost 40 year olds this is good and if you don't have work it's your own fault really gets convinced me otherwise yeah. It's going to change my life your waves save money by the minute you push the button it's doing what it's supposed to do so the energy that you're spending goes that it's of the food so there's no way of speech it's not like a gas whole but enough and where you've got heat the whole room up before you get in and so you're saving loads and loads of energy so much on your 2nd roast beef or anything and you know I'd love to be able to do that I don't hold out with for the rest things it's a bit b it's back to being smart it's back to. You know a big potato and a regular oven could be 2 hours when a question wart heat up and that the by the potato is so as I said but what can smart so we're going to be cooking for us today so what will go as again went for a big potato you know there's something really nice about a baked potato from the microwave that does the whole thing really really quickly so this particular dish was used in this. Devices sold more Scottish so I got a lot of. Mushrooms leaks some odd unless looks. And all I'm going to do is just make a little so I. Will get some small scores Cerda I'm just going to train got together with a good old fashioned best female sauce globally. We've got our mushroom slice them using chestnut mushrooms and again these are these are the ones. I think of get a lot more flavor than just the regular white ones and when you cook them I don't find them which way so you can tend to get back color on them which again that color for me. Equals flavor. So just going to pop in the mushrooms was missions so just a low. And complex or so for her her much cheaper Do you think is. The most free so to be petite was the make you a fair sees that the options about half price. And when you think how expensive a thing is with that it paints them with what they say on a smart be the best he's about 15 pence Ok so it's about half of us even though and this was for 4 portions of this is a lot of potatoes that make you if so if you are doing one or 2 it's going to be even even people of a long period of time whom I'm looking so you feel writing the math get me thinking Ok now you know you can have a use the microwave I use it all the time yeah I do because it's the time thing it really is with the kids and I can be screaming when they're hungry it's quite great I feigned chopping up carrots and giving them some him miss to munch. And while that well I'm taking the quiet for long enough to get something done but my craze I use far defrosting things is for right I've got great millionaire shortbread basically that uses the microwave you need to get that recipe to me that's all that on a mailing to make you time out chocolate so again if you do not class it condemned it. And now an appalling moral I will not take 34 hours maybe I don't microwave it probably try longer take to make it so I don't think about it I mean I think you are. See I don't have in my career what I. Do have what a home. What do you use it for them if nothing else I'm going to also I'm going to have to come clean and tell a story about one of my children a Smiths of who could say so in the microwave and I could go on for 20 minutes. Not just that I burned the house though not actually I thought that's still not speaking to me that was a few months. Truce to read the book I can do so why would we think about my career's this is the problem I have with my quit everything becomes a bit lame. That is my biggest a huge nothing. But Espy's modes of the should yeah you get the cheese Ok We're going to skip right here and get down back into the source at the end one night so it's almost like the classic material that you are probably going to call the chip you know so it's a big vehicle for home and friends. Was mushrooms and looking at something else next that next just going to add leaks and you just want to. Leave the colors and not. To die I'm just going to add our white sauce. Not to the beginnings of pearl and in this together. Just on the heat we just laid out cured a little but to that I'm going to add some out of mushrooms I think for a lot of our mustard how much of you in there it's just that you're stuck but your spoon feed is a miracle that we got there I think. The thing is when you know whole greenwash but you don't get that with the strong must the flavor begin to take a lot of the seed busts good so so the potato what once was something with rice and so voted the big to what I want to do and I. Just half the potato right through the menu. And I'm actually going to tell you the end of the potato and I get to the source. And what that's going to do is really soft fat cannot source and how do you bite so the sauce. So Gary has a safe doesn't go against the Greens he's a microwave so there's a quote against the grain I don't think so no I mean what we're talking about you know of 300 Pinedale interest in gas pumps Yeah you know it's a lot of money so I think it's important I think we've all got our our duty to use not so much energy to Gary behind us has been this pressure cooker nicking your lamb stew is to remind us what you did so that launched years should be a week or 2 and what about Flora Brown. And high heat then I get on the bacon to that weed and I do. Potatoes hair a lot but it's my purity and then some lamb stock up to lead on and cooked for about 20 minutes in a pressure cooker and it will taste like a stew that's been in the oven for 2 hours better. No pressure. No pun intended that I don't forget to do with. Ok let's get a little this pressure cooker and have a look at the 1st thing we have to do with the suppression of. Acid noise which I'm going to cover it like his is a lot of that is that it is her house and you know what I love it the smell that smell of the nails even someone tell us that there was no choice and I said from Ok . Let's just have to be careful Yeah liquids and making sure this is always. Some men are still just at least fashionable clothes. Ok never understand shots yes. Another quicker way to approach is to cool it down so you can drop in to put some couple are. So the noise stops you can release the pressure. Does look like a house that we didn't exhibit. Such a thing or so I never. Write so just double check and it should just be nice and you're using the back of a spoon Soko piece of law and sure which I was surely brings for the 3 hours or so goodnight image me but I have a little bit by yeah I think the textures barrackers none of it breaks up you know there's no horse thing at the same time school is like sweetness there. So that when I'm in a bus or coach many minutes 20 minutes from now I'll tell you Royce Yeah I Rice was just left over right or left of the potatoes bundled with loads of time Rick and you could go make colors to yeah so pretty. Our Matic colorful.
