Valentine’s Days was spent with my little boy, eating a big slice of chocolate cake he says he baked just for me. OK, I made the cake and he licked the bowl, but it was the time together that counts. If you want to make something for your loved ones to share on Valentine’s Day, I highly recommend the Turkish delight cheesecake (p35). Or, ¢É «ÂÛã Âã £ ã«

You loved the Igloo smash cake in our Christmas issue!

Star letter GETTING CRAFTY

Thank you for your clever feature Signed, sealed, delivered (Nov/Dec). Not only did it come in handy at home for making unique Christmas cards with my children, I used the same ideas for my class of 10- and 11-year-olds, who did a fantastic job making the spiced tree cards, envelopes and potato print animals. These creative projects were easy to make and fun. My class were very excited and said their parents were going to love their efforts! Daisy, Hertfordshire

BAKING BONANZA I really enjoyed making the candy cane macarons (Nov/Dec) to share with friends (some of whom are gluten-free, so an ideal treat). I had a little leftover ganache and crushed candy cane, so I made mini chocolate muffins too, to go with a Christmas morning cuppa, adding edible glitter for extra sparkle! Anna, Stirlingshire

FAMILY FUN How lovely it was to see the ‘Go on a festive sightseeing hunt’ idea in your Christmas magazine (p135). It brought back many happy memories of Christmas shopping trips when our twins were young. We would each choose a decoration (reindeer, snowman, Father Christmas); the one who spotted the most won. The kids loved it and it helped the journey pass quickly. Marilyn, Essex

FIVE-STAR SIDE DISHES Your Christmas issue made what can be a stressful time so much simpler. Five-star sides was a huge help to me. Finding healthy sides is usually a tricky business. The main course takes up most of my time (and energy!), so I prefer easy side dish recipes – and you found four for me. They were delicious. I whipped them up while the main was cooking and was able to get dinner on the table fast. I didn’t tell my impressed guests how easy they are to make!

Dear Customers, We at Onken would like to issue a sincere apology. When we said ‘Get Naked’ we meant, get our new great tasting Onken ‘naked’ range of yogurts with just three natural ingredients. We apologise to Mr Rogers from Accrington, and the shocked public just outside his local supermarket on the third of last month. And for the embarrassment suffered by Maureen, his wife of 30 years, we hope you’re recovering well at home. Sincerely,

FEBRUARY HARVEST

IN SEASON These comfor ting, vibrant dishes celebrate the b est of winter pro duce Flavorking plums Flavorkings are a type of pluot: a plum-apricot hybrid. They are larger and sweeter than regular plums, and have deep, wine-red flesh beneath their smooth purple skin. Flavorkings are available until March, then again in June and July. They pair as well with savoury dishes as with desserts. Try stewing with star anise and a splash each of red wine vinegar and soy sauce, and serving alongside pork belly or duck.

Sweet potato Despite its name and appearance, the sweet potato is a root vegetable, and not part of the potato family. Its natural sweetness is due to an enzyme which, at high temperatures, breaks down the sweet potato’s starch into sugar. For chips with a difference, slice into wedges, parboil, then toss with olive oil, smoked paprika and chopped rosemary. Season and bake until crisp.

PREPARE THE AUBERGINES

COOK THE SOFRITO

Aubergines are very sponge-like so tend to absorb a lot of oil when fried. Baking is a much healthier method of cooking as you can control the amount of oil absorbed. Brushing will help a little go a long way.

Using a classic sofrito base (onion, celery  Éã Û óÉè ãÉ ã¨ ÁÉèÛÛ ¸ and also helps to bulk it out, meaning that less meat can be used, reducing fat and cost.

FINISH THE SAUCE

ASSEMBLE THE MOUSSAKA

Adding warm (rather than cold) milk to a roux base makes it easier to incorporate, so it’s less likely to go lumpy. Don’t worry if lumps do form; use a whisk to beat them out. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before adding the eggs, to avoid them scrambling.

Topping the beef and aubergine layers with thick béchamel sauce is key to a moussaka. The eggs whisked into the sauce ¨ »Ô «ã ãÉ Ôè èÔ Â «Û  «ۨ«Â£ with the cheese helps give the dish a delicious golden crust. 53

ood plays an important role in our lives all year round, but it’s late winter when a warming meal can make all the difference. Making a hearty soup when it’s cold outside will seem like second nature to many, but an increasing number of people find it hard to put food on the table. Foodbank usage is on the rise: new research shows that one in 14 adults in the UK* – some 3.7m people – has sought support from a foodbank to access food. Since 2015, Tesco has been working with FareShare – a charity that redistributes food to charities and community groups – and donating food that may otherwise have gone to waste. This scheme helps to provide a million meals

68

a month to 7,000 different charities. But Tesco wants to do more to help FareShare make the most of the food it receives.

TEAMING UP WITH JAMIE OLIVER In January 2019, Tesco and FareShare partnered with Jamie Oliver to launch the Community Cookery School, to help community cooks across the country overcome some big challenges. From knowing what to do with large quantities of seasonal produce, to how to turn surplus ingredients into substantial, healthy meals for those in need, the Community Cookery School will see 1,000 community cooks learn how to get the most out of their ingredients. The training will include tips from Jamie and Tesco food experts, as well as specially developed recipes from Jamie, ranging from versatile base sauces to batch-cook curries and pasta dishes. Ultimately, the goal is to make sure even less food is wasted – helping feed even more people who need it. For more information, visit fareshare.org.uk.

Tesco and FareShare provide

1m meals to charities every month

1,000

community cooks will be trained through the new Community Cookery School

HOW YOU CAN HELP Look out for collection points in larger Tesco stores where you can donate non-perishable food – there are more than 540 across the UK.

STORE IT RIGHT The fridge doors are warmer than the shelves, so keep milk in a sealed container on the shelves if you can. If possible, store away from strong-smelling foods, to prevent it from picking up smells. If you struggle to get through milk before it goes off, consider switching to a filtered variety, which stays fresh for twice as long once opened.

hen did you last check in with your neighbour or stop for a chat on the street? If you can’t remember, maybe it’s time to give your local community a little TLC. According to a survey, 68% of Brits would describe their neighbours as strangers, while half say they don’t feel part of a ‘good neighbourly community*’. But people do want to be connected, with 73% of 18 to 24-year-olds saying it’s important to be part of a community**. So whether you’re new to the area or just want to be more involved, we’ve got all the inspiration you need to get stuck in or become a catalyst for change in your community. 78

Sharing’s caring ‘The sharing economy’ – the use of technology to connect organisations so they can make better use of their services and spaces – might be a buzz term in the corporate world, but it can work in a positive way for communities too. While the internet can distance us from real interactions, it can also connect us if used in the right way. Many local areas have online ‘libraries’, where people can share anything from toys to power tools – as well as ‘buy and sell’ Facebook groups (like modern-day car boot sales), where you can pick up

Kiran Chahal set up The People’s Kitchen in Bethnal Green, London, where volunteers prepare meals to share with their community.

Street parties are a great way to «Â£ Ô ÉÔ» ãÉ£ 㨠 ãÉ Â out more about your area from lifelong residents. The annual Big Lunch was born from this idea of connecting neighbourhoods through food and fun; it happens UK-wide in June. Another group reclaiming the streets is Playing Out. It encourages collaboration between neighbours and local authorities to temporarily close residential roads for free kids’ play sessions. Paula Greenspan set one up in Tring, Hertfordshire. She says, ‘It gives children a taste of the freedom that we had as kids, and adults an opportunity to share in their fun. We got to know our neighbours better and it’s lovely to have people we can turn to if we need anything.’ Community gardens and orchards are another way of connecting people and are particularly  « » «Â Û ô«ã¨ »«ãã» ÛÛ to green space.

WHY A BIT OF is good for kids

Colour me in!

Clubs, playdates, days out: today’s kids never get b ore d. But is that a goo d thing ? Research shows a little boredom is OK for kids. Here’s why

WORDS KATIE HUTLEY ILLUSTRATION CRISTINA GUITIAN *World Economic Forum

IT BOOSTS CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION Studies show that children who are given their own time and space to play freely are more likely to read, draw and write creative stories – skills that can help them relax and feel more positive*. ‘Boredom gives children the opportunity to invent their own activities,’ says Teresa Belton, a Visiting Fellow at the School of Education and Lifelong Learning at University of East Anglia. GIVE IT A GO Keep a box full of raw materials to fuel their imaginations. ‘Simple household things like paper, pencils, a magnifying glass, string, cotton reels and a torch offer lots of possibilities to fill time constructively,’ Teresa explains. ‘And finding the potential in what’s around also means not being dependent on expensive toys and equipment.’

IT HELPS BUILD THEIR INDEPENDENCE A jam-packed social life and days filled with structured activity don’t allow time for kids to think for themselves. Understanding they don’t need to look elsewhere for amusement can help children realise they’re in control of their own lives. GIVE IT A GO Teresa says: ‘Research shows that quiet downtime and letting the mind wander is good for our brains, whatever our age, so it’s important for kids to learn that they can enjoy doing nothing.’ Tell them in advance that you’re going to have some free time at home to relax, and ask how they’d like to make that time special. Giving them a say will make them feel involved and more on-board with the idea.

IT ENCOURAGES PROBLEM SOLVING

IT STRENGTHENS FRIENDSHIPS

Parents taking more of a back seat and not filling every minute for children lands them with a problem: namely, how are they going to amuse themselves? ‘Finding ways to overcome this problem develops children’s resourcefulness and confidence,’ says Teresa. Letting them come up with their own answers helps them to develop their problemsolving, which is a really important life skill. GIVE IT A GO While it’s natural to want to help your kids, thinking for them can create children who find it difficult to think confidently for themselves. Let them make their own mistakes – and figure out how to do it differently the next time. It will teach children a valuable lesson about being self-sufficient.

Seeing their friends in school and at clubs might be a plus for children, but it’s when organised activities are kept to a minimum that those friendships will really flourish. Not only are two (or more) imaginations better than one, but learning to cooperate with one another is a vital skill. According to Teresa, ‘Children have fun sparking ideas off each other, and this kind of shared experience creates special bonds.’ GIVE IT A GO Suggest ideas, such as putting on a play or creating an obstacle course, to give kids a focus without spelling out how to do it. This will fire up their imaginations. 83


Crayon crafts

G ather all those crayon o dds and ends and up cycle them into something fabulous H E A R T C A RD You will need Card; wax crayons; glue gun; hairdryer

1 Fold a piece of card in half to make a card (ours is a 20cm square once folded). 2 Remove the paper wrappers from bits of crayon, then arrange the crayons on the card so they form a heart outline. When you are happy with your shape, glue the crayons into place using the glue gun. Leave to dry. 3 Cover your work surface with newspaper; put the card on top. Then, using a hairdryer on a high heat setting, direct the heat towards the crayons and away from the centre of the heart. 84

As the heat melts the crayons they will ã Ô ãã÷ è«£ ÛÔ» Û¨ ã 4 Once the wax has dried and set, write your message in the middle of the heart. WA X L E T T E R S E A L You will need Carrot; kitchen knife; long ÷ÉÂÛ Âó »ÉÔ Û £ Û »«£¨ã

1 Make a carrot stamp by slicing a carrot across its width, then carefully carve a star, letter or other shape into the cut end using a knife. Set aside. Make ¢ ô « Âã Ûã ÁÔÛ ÛÉ ÷Éè ¨ ó a selection of seals to choose from. 2 Place your envelope on the work surface. (Don’t forget to put your card

1 Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.

Use « Âã É»Éè Û »ÉÛ ãÉ£ 㨠to blend and create interesting patterns, or hold the crayon in one place to create a melting circle. Have fun experimenting; no two pebbles will be the same. 5 Leave to cool for a couple of hours (don’t be tempted to move them, as they will still be very hot), then paint them with clear varnish, if you like.

1 Put a small palmful of candle wax beads into a paper cup and heat on high in the microwave for 2 mins or until they turn to liquid. 2 Place a wick in your shot glass and, wearing gloves, carefully pour in the melted wax to secure the wick in place. The wax will harden in a few minutes. 3 Remove the paper wrappers from the crayons. Place a small palmful of candle wax beads into another paper cup and break up 2 crayons of the same colour.

How to

la gh L augh more, stress less. Here’s how... LAUGH AT YOURSELF

A

four-year-old child, it has been said, laughs on average up to 300 times a day – compared to just four times a day for a 40-year-old adult. Even if this is just an urban myth, laughter has been shown to lower stress hormones and increase endorphins, so isn’t it time we had a bit more of a giggle? When was the last time you really laughed? We’re talking the sidesplitting, tears running down your face kind of laughter. This type of happiness and release doesn’t come easily for most of us. According to ‘laughter facilitator’ and yoga teacher Keith Adams, ‘Natural laughter only » ÛãÛ ¢É Éè ó Û ÉÂ Û èã «Â order to access its proven health  ãÛ ô  ãÉ » 裨 »Éã longer than that.’ So how can you learn to laugh more?

WORDS SARAH KENT

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GIGGLES Meet regularly with a friend who makes you laugh. The key here is that laughter is infectious, and an antidote to anger and stress. ‘Laughter is social and contagious – we laugh at the sound of laughter itself,’ explains Dr Robert Provine, a neuroscientist at the University of Maryland.

It’s often hard to laugh at yourself, but you’ll feel a lot more carefree for it. If something goes wrong, try not to dwell on it or imagine the worst – and, above all, don’t put yourself down. A little sarcasm when things go wrong (‘Oh, brilliant’) is often enough to get you giggling, and will make others around you feel more relaxed too.

START A JOKE JAR Get everyone in your household or workplace to put a joke in a jar and read them out daily or weekly. The cornier, the better! It will turn into a competition in no time.

TRY LAUGHTER YOGA We kid you not, laughter yoga really is a thing. Keith Adams says, ‘We are teaching people to laugh for no reason. No jokes, no comedy – just people really laughing and letting go.’ Not only does this type of yoga release endorphins, it also gives the muscles an aerobic workout and improves respiration. Dr Madan Kataria, founder, combines breathing techniques with childlike playfulness to trigger the laughter response. Visit laughteryoga.org for more information.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS Benefit: works your core Start in the press-up position, with your weight on your toes and your back flat, then raise one knee to your chest. Return to the press-up position; repeat with the other leg.

T PRESS-UPS Benefit: works the arms Place your hands on the floor, just wider than shoulder width. Resting on your knees or toes, create a straight line with your body, then perform a press-up. As you return to your starting position, lift one hand off the floor, rotate your torso and extend your arm into the air to form a ‘T’. Repeat using your other arm.

KNEELING START LUNGES Benefit: works the lower body Kneel on the floor with your hands on hips (use a cushion under your knees if it’s more comfortable), then stand and stride forwards into a lunge. Lunge backwards using the same leg, then return to kneeling. Repeat using the opposite leg.

Mastering your own bodyweight workout is a great platform from which to build your fitness. As the intensity of your workouts increases, you’ll become fitter and more toned

DO change and modify your exercises to keep your body working and challenged in a variety of ways.

DON’T be afraid to rest – recovering allows you to work hard during the movement. Working out for five days a week with two rest days works well. Or, if you’re new to training, rest on alternate days.

DO work at an intensity that feels challenging for your current ability – don’t compete against others.

STEPPING SQUATS Benefit: works the whole body Stand with your feet together. Step sideways and sink into a deep squat down to the floor by bending at the hip, knees and ankles. Keep your upper body in an upright position and your feet flat. Return to the start position. Try to sit low in your hips and keep the chest lifted.

Relax and enjoy th e peacefulness of the waterways

one of two great boating holidays

Everyone looks ahead to summer when it’s gloomy outside, but what makes winter a little more bearable is if you have a holiday to look forward to. Tesco magazine has teamed up with ABC Boat Hire (abcboathire.com) to give readers a chance to win one of two boating holidays on the English or Welsh waterways. Jump on board a canal boat, steer a course and enjoy the peace and quiet that a boating holiday can offer. Stop off whenever you please – for a pub lunch, a spot of fishing, or to take in the beautiful surroundings. As the captain of your boat, you decide where to stop and what to see. Two lucky winners will enjoy a fantastic seven-night stay on a canal boat that sleeps up to eight people. There’s a choice of eight departure locations to choose from within Berkshire, Cheshire, Northamptonshire,

South Wales or the Welsh Borders – and every spot is idyllic. And don’t worry if you haven’t handled a boat before, as full training will be given, as well as buoyancy aids and a boat licence. All boats are kitted out with a small kitchen that’s equipped with a full range of crockery, cutlery, pots, pans and kitchen utensils. There’s a bathroom with hand basin, flush toilet and shower. Bed linen, towels, fuel and a damage waiver are also included.
