In the kitchen, sometimes the smallest things you do make the biggest difference. So in that spirit, we’re bringing you cooking tips that are easy to implement but will make a significant difference in how well your food turns out. We hope you try them!
Spice Timing
When you’re cooking a meal, it’s best to add your herbs and spices before you add any liquid. So for example, add your spices to your sautéed onions and garlic before you add tomato sauce. This allows the spices to bloom, boosting the flavor of the dish.
Taste Your Food
Sometimes, we want to trust recipe writers blindly because we assume they know better than us. But you’re cooking for yourself, not for the person who developed the recipe, so taste your food as you go and make adjustments accordingly. The most important thing is that you like it.
Add Vegetables to Your Pasta Water
A great way to save time when cooking is to toss some veggies into your boiling pasta water, cooking them as the pasta finishes cooking and draining them all together. You end up with fewer dishes to do, and the vegetables get more flavor.
