]]>Put Sourdough in Bread Pudding
In an episode of her show, Pastries with Paola, Paola Velez demonstrated exactly how she likes to prepare guava and cheese bread pudding. She uses sourdough as her bread of choice, explaining, “The layers of the sourdough give it a tang.”
Cook Your Pie Longer
Martha Stewart explained that while many people are scared of cooking a pie for too long, this is an irrational fear. According to this chef, pies should be cooked until they’re a golden brown color. “That may seem like a very long time, but that will definitely be worth it in the final product. It should be nicely browned beneath,” she explained.

Cook With Acid
“A lot of the time when people add salt to a dish because they think it tastes flat, what it really needs is an acid like lemon juice or vinegar,” said user Vexvertigo.
No, Really. Cook With Acid
“Salt, pepper and acid will brighten up almost any dish. If an otherwise wonderful dish is just… missing something, add salt, pepper and lemon juice, then reassess,” said user LymphomaThr0waway.
Control Yourself in the Kitchen
“You can always add, but you cannot take away,” said user El_Duende666.
Chefs Put Safety First
“Tell people you’re behind them when cooking is involved,” said user ToddFatherXCII.
Don’t Rely on a Single Recipe
“If you want to try to make something you had at a restaurant and google ‘chicken alla whatever’, don’t just randomly pick one of the results to try. Read a few of them and cook the one that comes closest to being the average of all the others. Way too many internet recipes aren’t actually tested by their authors, and professionals are actually worse than amateurs about it—they’re used to eyeballing measurements because they know what the right amount looks like and when they write it down it’s all guesswork,” offered user Howlingfrog.

Decorate With Herbs
Herbs and edible flowers not only add flavor to your dish, but they act as a colorful decoration as well. A little bit of citrus zest can also go a long way.
Clean Plates
While plating your meal, you may get a few drops of sauce or juice on the sides of your plate. Use a clean towel to wipe it away and make it seem as if the food just magically appeared on the plate.
Contrasting Colors
Use bright colors to catch the eye of your guest. No artificial coloring is needed; you can color your food using matcha, beets, turmeric and more.
Keep It Simple
Even though herbs can act as nice decorations, be careful not to overcrowd your plate with garnishes. Less is more!

]]>However, if you aren’t well-versed in frying eggs, the process of making them might seem a bit daunting. Nonetheless, it isn’t as difficult as it seems! Follow these tips, and you will be well on your way to making the perfect over-easy egg.
Use Butter on the Pan
If you are unable to dislodge the egg from the frying pan, it will be impossible for you to flip it to give the yolk a little bit of time to cook. Use butter to serve as a tool to help lubricate the pan and allow for separation.

It’s so important to commit to the flip and go for it once you’ve decided that it’s time to give your yolk a little bit of time to cook. Put the spatula under the egg and flip it in one smooth and quick motion to avoid breaking the white or the yolk.
Don’t Be Hesitant
Many amateur chefs have waited too long to flip their over-easy egg, which leads to a burnt underside and ruins the flavor of the egg. Don’t hesitate to flip the egg, and you’ll find yourself flipping it just at the perfect moment.
It’s been ages since I’ve been able to eat runny eggs like this, so I’m just browsing through my ig friends’ feeds looking at #foodporn! Doesn’t this breakfast by @sweatspace look delish? _ I think one of the toughest things for me during pregnancy has been good restriction, and it’s true that you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone! Runny eggs, raw fish/sushi/poke, rare steak, sprouts, coffee, and a certain fish with mercury are all on the list. And I’ve heard from many people that it’s ok to eat everything! But I think if something happened and I were to get sick, I would feel awful — so it’s best to stay on the safe side! _ So the first thing I’m gonna eat after giving birth is probably a poke bowl!
