Caitríona Redmond: How to make my quick and easy microwave Bakewell pie in 10 minutes

"Am I the Marie Kondo of kitchen organisation? I’m not sure I’d pass her expert muster, although I believe she now has an understanding of how organisation works in real-life families!"

This is a lovely sweet treat that's ready in minutes

I’m rapidly running out of counter space in my kitchen. No, I haven’t gone nuts and bought a rake of appliances. I have bought things in the past but nowadays I try to keep the maximum amount of space to work in that I can get.

The seeds I sowed a few weeks back are thriving on the south-facing countertops. There were very few that didn’t germinate and this week we potted everything that had developed true leaves into proper-sized pots. The potting trays need a lot of space! It’s not quite warm enough at the polytunnel yet so for now I share the kitchen with a mini food forest.
