Tips and Tricks (For Beginners)


1. Do the prep work before you start cooking.

2. If you don't like the recipe before you make it, don't make it. Choose ones you will look forward to trying.

3. You can remove ingredients you don't like or substitute them out. Don't be afraid to play around with ingredients.

6. Use pre-minced ingredients like garlic and ginger if you're into cutting corners!

7. Make a large batch of food and portion it out to save time and money.

8. Skip the side dishes: some recipes pair better with a side of rice or couscous instead. Try different types, too, like salmon with lime cousous!
