Preparation is one of the most important things that you will have to do before you cook a meal for your friends or family. Take an inventory to be sure that everything that you will need is available. Check the day before you start to cook to make sure that you have everything that you need to cook the dish you have planned. This will help to alleviate your anxiety and maximize your potential.
Cooking Methods
Cooking methods like boiling tend to destroy a lot of the nutrients that are in vegetables. To keep them loaded with nutrients that are beneficial to your body, chose faster cooking methods like steaming or sauteing, or enjoy them raw.
Freeze sauces by pouring leftovers into ice cube trays. This makes it easy to prepare a quick meal by reheating the sauce using a saute pan. Not to worry, it freezes well and is perfectly edible when stored this way.
It can be very useful to think large when making your favorite chicken stock. If you make a large pot of stock, you can freeze it and store it for future use. There’s nothing better than homemade chicken stock as a flavorful base for casseroles, stews and soups. Put the stock into freezer bags and put it in your freezer.
Food is the very basis of life, and it can have amazing power. Use the information found in this article to become the cook you could always be.
