‘Never put eggs in the fridge!’ Chef warns it’s a bad place to store them

Alison remarked: “I’ve never put my eggs in the fridge,” and Dermot said he hadn’t either. 

Shivi explained: “

“That makes it last for longer, but as a chef, I wouldn’t put eggs in the fridge because they’re porous, they absorb other smells.”

Shivi also had some clever ways to use “sad” fruit and vegetables or food that wasn’t completely perfect. 

“If bread is not soft, it’s stale,” she said. “You can fresh it in the oven with a drop of water, blitz it for breadcrumbs, or use for croutons, or toast it.”
