    Stick it in the freezer.

    You only need a tiny grating for most recipes, even ginger tea only needs a 2p coin thickness of slice.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Peel it then chop it into thumb size pieces before freezing (most recipes call for a "thumb" sided piece of ginger for some reason)

    You can then take them out as you need them and grate with a fine grater before using. Keeps for months and months like this.

    Grate the ginger with some garlic and add olive oil to cover. It's great added to some chopped tomatoes as a sauce for pasta. I've also added tuna to the tomato mix to make a more substantial sauce. it keeps for quite a while in the fridge in a container.

    I'm another advocate for freezing - have you never heard of ginger on demand? Hope you didn't pay over the odds for it though.

    Love the look of the ginger cake btw, must try it.
