Cook the Book: Nigella Express
When cooking rice cook more than you need and freeze it. What I do is before dishing out what I want I take a cup of rice and wrap it in clingfilm. This cup of rice then goes into a freezer bag. That way I always have a pre portioned amount of rice to add to my meal. The rice defrost easily in the microwave in about 3 minutes.

When I buy a bag of lemons I zest them and then juice them all. I freeze the zest in little baggies and the juice I freeze in ice cube trays and then place in baggies in the freezer. It's very convenient for baking and cooking.

I love cookies and other sweets but I don't like waiting for the butter to soften. I grate the butter on a cheese grater and buy the time I have grated the amount needed it has softened to room temperature and is perfect for mixing.
