LOVE YOUR LEFTOVERS

I loved your recipes for using

leftovers in the January issue.

We waste very little food in

our house and I get great

pleasure in thinking of new

ways to use it up. It’s a pity

so much food is wasted in

our country – hopefully your

good ideas will get other

readers to use up leftovers.

We’ve had loads of fun

putting together our Easter

issue. This time of year is

great for bringing families

together for walks, meals and

Easter eggs. And, as we can’t

guarantee it won’t rain, we’ve

weatherproofed our offering

with ways to bring the fun

indoors with brilliant baking

ideas, toys and crafts for kids.

If you’ve got little ones, get

them working hard to earn

their chocolate treats with a

good egg hunt – like ours on page 28. I’m a fi rm believer in making

the eggs really tricky to fi nd, which means my nephews can get fi t and

play detectives at the same time. I make a checklist of clues and keep

sending the boys back to search while my sister and I put our feet up!

This issue is packed with over 40 recipes to provide inspiration

this Easter. We’ve paid attention to cost, ease and time to ensure all

our recipes are simple, delicious and won’t break the bank.

Have an Eggcellent Easter!

who produces them EGGS

There’s something really nice about

looking out to a feathered flock of

happy hens roaming around our fields,

says Robin Thompson, the Managing

Director of Bridge House Farm Ltd in

Long Buckby, Northamptonshire.

The family-run farm supplies free-range

eggs to Asda through Noble Foods. ‘We

have 30,000 free-range laying hens who

go in and out of the sheds via pop-holes,

and they’re free to wander and forage

on the surrounding grass and fields

during daylight hours,’ Robin says.

GreaT qualiTies of free-ranGe eGGs

Robin ensures that his free-range hens

are healthy, happy and fed a wholesome

diet mainly consisting of grains. The result

is delicious-tasting, high quality Asda

Free Range Eggs with excellent shell

consistency and rich golden yolks. They’re

1 Robin Thompson has been

working at the farm for 30

years – he says as well as

producing eggs, they also

rear pigs and grow cereals.

2 The hens are fed seven

times a day. And as

creatures of habit, they

know exactly when the

feeds are, so gather around

at certain times for it!

Lion Quality mark, detailing

the farming method and

the site’s unique code so

they can be traced back.

a good source of protein and a medium

egg contains less than 80 calories.

eGG ProDuCTion

The nesting areas can hold up to 120

birds. ‘Once eggs are laid, we collect

them from a belt that runs underneath

and outside the building,’ Robin says.

Each week the farm supplies around

170,000 free-range eggs to Noble Foods.

The eggs are then sent to a packing

centre, destined for Asda stores.

enjoy your eGGs aT home

Eggs are very versatile. ‘I like to eat mine

poached on toasted breakfast muffins,’

says Robin. A simple way to test that your

egg is fresh is to put it in water: generally,

if it sinks then it’s fresh – if it floats then it’s

not. And for maximum freshness, store

eggs in their box, in the fridge.

Baked bananas♦ Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Halve a few bananas and put in a baking dish.♦ Splash over a little rum, dot with butter and drizzle with clear honey. Bake for 15 minutes until golden. Sprinkle over some chopped

pecan nuts. Serve with ice cream.

Spotlight onBANANAS

To stop bananas from going

black, store them at room temperature

in their own fruit bowl. We love them for

breakfast – try them mashed on toast or

whizzed into a smoothie – and they make

tasty desserts when baked (see right).

FRESHER FOR LONGER

Our Asda Lettuce Trio Leaf, a mix of Lollo Rosso, Lollo Biondo and Red Oak Leaf varieties, comes potted and lasts up to a week longer than cut lettuces or bagged leaves. Tear the leaves from the roots, wash and use in sandwiches and salads.

FRESH IN STORE FOOD

CHIVESHere are some ideas for this versatile herb. The easiest way to prepare chives is to snip them with scissors. ♦ Use whole or chopped in salads and sandwiches instead of onions for a more subtle fl avour.♦ Sprinkle them in omelettes and scrambled eggs. ♦ Stir chopped chives into soft cheese for an easy dip. ♦ Add chives to cheese sauce or mashed potatoes for a mild onion taste.

Chocolate A match made in heaven! Treat your taste buds to a little

luxury with our rich chocolate and sweet caramel recipes

Chocolate banoffee pieA lovely chocolate cookie crust holds this wickedly indulgent dessert

250g Oreo cookies

175g unsalted butter

150g caster sugar

300ml double cream

4 bananas, sliced

25g dark chocolate,

grated or shaved

❶ Grease a 24cm loose-

based cake tin and line the

base with baking paper. Crush

the biscuits in a processor to

make crumbs or put them in

a freezer bag and crush with

a rolling pin. Melt 75g butter

and mix with the crumbs. Put

into the tin, covering the sides

and base evenly and pressing

firmly with the back of a spoon.

Chill for at least 30 minutes.

❷ Heat the sugar with 100ml

cold water, stirring gently, until

the sugar has completely

dissolved. Stop stirring and

simmer until the mixture is

a caramel colour. You can

shake the pan gently as it

caramelises but don’t stir

or it will crystalise.

❸ Immediately remove

from the heat and add 100g

butter, a small pinch of salt

and 115ml of the double

cream. Stir until evenly mixed,

then return to a very gentle

heat and stir constantly until

the mixture is smooth.

TOP TIP

This mousse is best

made with dark chocolate

with 50% cocoa solids

– anything above 50%

makes the flavour

too intense.

Beans Cake Decorations

and Smarties, to decorate

❶ Line two baking trays

with baking paper. Melt the

chocolate in a bowl, standing

it over simmering water, but

making sure the base of the

bowl doesnÕt touch the water.

❷ As soon as the chocolate

has melted, remove the bowl

from the heat. Stir in half the

cranberries, sultanas or raisins

and fudge chunks. Pour half

onto each tray and shape with

a round-bladed knife to make

slabs about 16cm x 20cm.

❸ Immediately sprinkle the rest

of the dried fruit and fudge

chunks on top of the chocolate.

❹ Make an egg shape using

chocolate beans and Smarties

(you could use all yellow or a

mixture of colours).

❺ Leave in a cool place to set

(but not the fridge, where the

chocolate will ÔsweatÕ and lose

its shine). If giving as a gift,

wrap in baking paper.

Chocolate caramel creams

Unfilled biscuits will last for up to a week but once filled, eat within a day

250g self-raising flour

40g cocoa powder

225g unsalted butter,

softened, plus 75g for the filling

Few drops of vanilla extract

175g caster sugar

2tbsp whole milk

100g icing sugar

❶ Preheat the oven to

180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line

two baking trays with baking

paper. Sift the flour and cocoa

together. Beat the butter,

vanilla and 125g of the sugar in

a bowl with a wooden spoon.

❷ Add the flour and stir. Once

it’s too stiff to use the spoon,

gather the mixture together

with your hands, handling it

as little as possible to stop

it becoming greasy.

❸ Shape into 32 small balls

and put on the baking trays,

leaving a gap between each.

❹ Dip the prongs of a fork in

cold water and press onto the

biscuits to flatten them slightly

and mark the tops.

❺ Bake for 15-17 minutes.

Leave on the trays to cool for

5 minutes, then transfer to a

wire rack to finish cooling.

❻ For the buttercream, put

the rest of the sugar in a pan

with 3tbsp water and heat

slowly until dissolved. Simmer,

without stirring, until it is a rich

caramel colour, watching

it carefully all the time.

Immediately remove from

the heat and stir in 25g of

the unsalted butter and the

milk. Return to a gentle heat

and stir until evenly mixed.

Leave until cold.

❼ Beat the remaining butter

until soft, then gradually stir in

the icing sugar. Add the cold

caramel mixture and beat

until light and creamy.

❽ Just before serving,

sandwich the biscuits together

with the caramel buttercream.

Easter fun

Have an egg hunt in your

garden – they’ll love it!

Creating a magical Easter for the kids is easy.

Turn the garden into a wonderland with our fab

range of egg-hunt kits and decorations. Then lay

chocolate eggs and Easter-themed toys.

Kit the kids out with egg hunt baskets and

bunny masks and watch them excitedly run

around looking for treats the Easter bunny has

hidden. Make sure you set boundaries on how

far they can go and join in by shouting ‘you’re

getting warmer’ as they get close to their treats.

Turn over for ideas on what to do if it rains!

l Whiskers Roll thin strips of the roll-out icing to make the whiskers. You can make white whiskers or coloured whiskers – it’s up to you. Cut them to even lengths with scissors – about 2.5cm long is ideal.

Knead for 10 minutes. Put the dough in a

greased bowl, cover with greased clingfi lm

and leave in a warm place until doubled in

size. Turn out onto a fl oured surface and push

out the air. Cut into 20 pieces and shape into

rolls. Place on the tray in a circular pattern

(they’ll stick together while baking). Cover with

greased clingfi lm and leave to double in size.

While the buns are cooking, heat the sugar

and milk for the glaze in a small pan until

dissolved and then simmer for 2-3 minutes

until sticky. To make them shiny, brush the

glaze on the top of the buns as soon as they

come out of the oven. Eat warm or leave

to cool on a wire rack. You can split and

toast them when they’re cold, if you prefer.

Grease a baking tray. Sift together the

fl our, mixed spice, cinnamon and a pinch of

salt. Stir in the yeast, sugar and mixed dried

fruit. Heat the milk and butter together in a

pan until the butter melts and the mixture is

lukewarm. Test with your fi nger – if it’s hot it will

destroy the yeast. Add the egg and the milk

mixture to the fl our and mix to form a dough.

Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.

For the crosses, mix the fl our with the oil, icing

sugar and 4tbsp water to make a paste. Put

it in a piping bag or use a freezer bag with

the corner snipped off. Pipe paste crosses

on the top of the buns. Bake for 15 minutes

or until brown – if you tap the base of the bun

round, it will sound hollow when cooked.

These sweet buns

marked with a cross

are traditionally eaten

on Good Friday.

They’re very satisfying

to make at home,

but you need to allow

enough time for the

yeast dough to rise.

So if you want them

for breakfast on Good

Friday, make them the

day before. Or turn

over for freshly made

Asda Hot Cross Buns

you can buy in store.

● To knead the dough, fold it in half on a fl oured surface, then push it away from you with the heel of your hand. Fold it over, turn and repeat for 10 minutes. This develops the gluten (the protein in the fl our), which makes the buns nice and light.

● To shape the rolls, put a piece of dough on a fl oured surface and lightly fl our the palm of your hand. Using a circular motion, gently roll the dough round and round until you have a ball shape with a smooth top. Put on the baking tray, smooth side up.

Heal your HAIR


HAIR BEAUTY

HOW CAN I FIX MY

SPLIT ENDS?

Over-brushing and regular

use of heat styling tools can

make hair break. Strengthen

your hair with a moisturising

shampoo and weekly

conditioning mask. Try

Herbal Essences Beautiful

Ends Split End Protection

Shampoo, £2* (400ml).

You can also improve the

look of split ends by applying a

repair conditioner and serum.

A great one to try is Tresemmé

Split Remedy Split Mend

Intense Recovery Masque,

£5 (300ml) or Pantene Pro-V

Split End Serum, £2 (75ml).

MY SCALP IS FLAKY.

WHAT CAN I DO?

Gently massage your scalp

with a moisturising shampoo or

hair oil to increase blood fl ow,

loosen dead skin and release

natural oils. Try Argan Gold

Hair Vitality Oil, £4 (50ml),

which will also make your hair

feel silky. If fl akes persist, use

an anti-dandruff shampoo

such as T/Gel Anti-

Dandruff Shampoo,

£4.50 (125ml).

HELP! MY HAIR

IS REALLY DRY

Dry air and windy

weather combined

with colour treatments

and excessive use of

heat-styling tools can

zap hair of moisture. Use

a gentle shampoo that

contains nourishing

SHAMPOO

Many mainstream brands

have the same ingredients

as premium shampoos

– and according to many

hairdressers do the job just

as well as expensive ones.

CONDITIONER

These are usually boosted

with special conditioning

ingredients to maintain

healthy looking locks.

DEEP CONDITIONER

It’s worth investing in a

deep conditioner, which

can be used weekly and

has specifi c ingredients to

repair damaged tresses

and maintain healthy hair.

HEAT-STYLING TOOLS

Pick ceramic-coated

tools, which distribute heat

faster and more evenly.

Ionic hairdryers are also

worth the extra money,

as they dry hair faster

and reduce moisture loss.

Plenty of mainstream shampoos use the same ingredients as premium ones – and do the job just as well

SHOULD I SPLASH OUT?Some hair products are worth spending a little extra on, but you can still look great for less.

ingredients to smooth the hair

shaft. We love Dove Damage

Therapy Intensive Repair

Shampoo, £2.32 (250ml).

Hair masks are also good

for restoring moisture. Apply

L’Oréal Elvive Full Restore

5 Replenishing Masque,

£4.78 (300ml) twice a week

– leave on for three minutes.

And before you use any

heat-styling tools, mist your

hair with Asda Essential Care

Heat Defence Conditioning

Spray, £2 (200ml). It will help

prevent any further damage.

WHAT WILL STOP

MY HAIR FRIZZING?

Damp air can make hair frizzy.

Use a moisturising shampoo

and conditioner to create

a barrier. We like Andrew

Barton The Frizz Tamer

Salon Smooth Shampoo, £3

(400ml), and Conditioner,

£3 (250ml). Also apply a drop

of serum through damp hair

before styling to seal hair

cuticles. One of our favourites

is John Frieda Frizz-Ease

Original Serum, £4 (50ml).

HOW CAN I REVIVE

MY HAIR COLOUR?

Coloured hair loses its lustre

when it’s washed, so choose

shampoos and conditioners

that have been designed for

colour-treated hair. And, once

a week, use a nourishing

treatment to restore vibrancy

and revive fading colour. Look

out for Clairol Nice’n Easy

ColourSeal Gloss, £1 (30ml).

Styling ideasDaily blowdrying can

damage hair, so give your

locks a rest with these

alternative styling tips.

● ADD VOLUME at the crown

by gently backcombing roots

to give your hair some lift.

● LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER

Apply the conditioner and

leave in, then let hair dry

naturally for a carefree style.

● HAIR BUN Secure your hair

into a low ponytail with a

hairband, swirl into a bun and

pin into place with hairgrips.

● WEAR A HEADBAND to add

instant style to a messy up-do.

Hair necessitiesKeep your bathroom

cabinet stocked up with

these must-have products

to keep hair protected.

● CLARIFYING SHAMPOO

Use once a month to prevent

product build-up and make

your hair shiny again.

● CONDITIONER enriched

with proteins to replace

moisture lost by shampooing.

● INTENSIVE CONDITIONER

for repairing damaged hair.

● HEAT PROTECTOR SPRAY

is crucial for protecting hair

from heat styling tools.

● ANTI-FRIZZ SERUM to

tame frizz and inject shine.

Harsh weather and the drying effects of central heating

can damage your hair. Just follow our advice for common

hair problems and you’ll have shiny locks this spring.

“I love this little

deodorant that still does all the

work of a full sized one, I carry one

in my gym bag and one in my everyday

bag. They aren’t heavy and take up

hardly any room. They still smell great

and keep me dry all day without any

of those awful white marks!”

Female Sure user,

Canterbury

“Every other day I

used each of the deodorants

and to my surprise they each ran

out at the same time. I found that the

size of the compressed deodorant was

much easier to fit into my bag. I found

that it also had a smoother spray and

felt softer on my underarm.”

Female Dove user,

Glamorgan

“The wee can is great

as it fits in my bag just nicely

thank you, its also slimmer I think,

so making it discreet to use. It has a

pleasant smell about it too, plus there

was no marks on my clothes and no

sting to it”
