Herb and butter Hasselback potatoes:

- Place potatoes into the oven for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, give the potatoes another brush with butter.

- Once potatoes have softened, take them out of the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped chives.
Steamed Honey and Lemon Carrots:
- Boil some water in the bottom of a steamer, adding some lemon juice to the water.
- Peel and top and tail the carrots, then chop into even pieces of roughly 1 ½ inches to 2 inches long. Next slice in half lengthways and slice into strips roughly a quarter of an inch thick.
