Cooking Tips

You will save a lot of time if your kitchen is clear of clutter and all your tools are organized and easy to access. A clean workspace makes the cooking less stressful, and there'll be less to clean up once you're done.
Improve your food knowledge. Find a day when you can casually stroll around your grocery store. Investigate fruits, vegetables, herbs even spices that you are unfamiliar with. Ask a grocer if they can tell you a little more about the ingredient. Maybe even try using it in your next meal.
