With energy prices continuing to one of the topics on everyone's mind, and many of the comments on my videos relating to energy use - I thought I would share a few quick tips on how to save energy when cooking and some simple changes to make sure you get the best use out of your energy when using the oven for example.
I'd love you to share any changes you've been making with me in the comments, hopefully we might pick up tips from one another to help get through this coming winter and beyond.

Over the last few years, I've come to the realisation that whilst a certain level of material things do add to your life, more stuff will not necessarily make you happier. This realisation hit me when I looked around my home that was filled with stuff (so much so I felt I needed a bigger house) and couldn't say I was particularly happier than when I lived in Spain (in 2008) when everything I had with me fit in one large drawer and a very small wardrobe.
These days I prefer to adopt a buy less, buy better approach, with a focus on quality over quantity, removing the clutter, and utilising my money in the best way possible.
