Tips, ideas and recipes
Tip 1 - The pantry should be a first in, first out zone. Shelve the new items at the back, so that you grab the older can of tomatoes before the new one while cooking dinner.
Tip 2 - A bay leaf taped to the inside of your pantry keeps away the nasties, like moths.
Tip 3 - Onions and potatoes should be sent to their separate corners as they emit gases that cause the other to spoil.

Join Brett as he shares his recipe and tips for making white chocolate & berry cheesecake
MasterChef Zingy Lemon Crunch and Vanilla Semifreddo – The Smart Shopper
To make slicing easier take your semifreddo out 5 minutes before serving and dip your knife in boiling hot water. The knife will melt through the frozen dessert and won’t stick, giving you perfectly smooth slices.
