Want to maximise efficiency when you’re prepping meals?

“One important trick that I always practise in the kitchen is to clean as I go. The sense of cleanliness does not only affect my frame of mind when I’m at work, but it also influences my work performance including cooking and preparation time,” shares Sujatha Asokan, head chef of Botanico and Bee’s Knees.

“Another tip would be to always plan and prepare ingredients before starting to cook. For instance, braising meat usually takes approximately four to five hours so it is highly advisable to braise it first before moving onto other ingredients to avoid long waiting periods. Cooking can be made easy with a little planning and cleaning.”
