Tip of the Day
You can save time and be a more efficient cook by portioning out all of the ingredients for a recipe in dishes before you start. Then it's a simple matter of combining ingredients quickly. I use ramekins to put measured seasonings in and larger bowls for larger ingredients. Always read through the recipe before you start so you are familiar with the steps and you know if you have all the ingredients.
