Making the basics

If you're going to make good tasty meals from scratch, you need to know how to make some of the basics!

Stuff that you can make a job-lot of and use in different ways, or freeze and use later. For me, this usually means the stuff I used to buy in jars or tins.

Tomato sauces are usually the basics for me. They can be used fresh, or from frozen; used with pasta, vegetables or meat. The best ones can be whizzed up in a matter of half an hour or so, leaving you plenty of time for other stuff!
