2. Festive frozen cubes with strawberries

To create healthy frozen ice cubes that'll make even a glass of water something special,take a punnet of strawberries,hull and cut in half,before popping into an ice cube tray and freezing. Pop the ice cubes out of the tray and into a glass,top with sparkling water and serve.

3. Easiest prawns ever

Arrange whole prawns in a single layer of a glass roasting tray. Add a handful of aromatics – dill,lemon and garlic cloves are good – and cover with boiling water. Allow to stand. By the time the water has cooled you'll have perfectly poached prawns every time.
