READ THE RECIPES THOROUGHLY AHEAD OF TIME.
After you have chosen the delicacy of your choice with all confidence and satisfaction, you might want to go back to go through the recipes to confirm if you are truly good to go. And also, warn you if you have the wrong ingredients or are short of ingredients.
PURCHASE FRESH, QUALITY INGREDIENTS.
“The fresher, the sweeter!” people always say, and there is no argument with that. Some people would prefer to buy spoilt pepper ‘Esha’ because when they do, they get the pepper in a large volumes thereby helping them to save. But you don’t want to be a bad chef by destroying the health of those that will eat what you cook. Fresh ingredients help the dish taste well and also, help it perform the functions of the food well. And asides from the savoury taste, people will always want to eat from you because of the wonderful experience you gave their stomachs.
PREPARE AND ORGANIZE AHEAD OF TIME.
Preparing and organising ahead of time will prevent the embarrassment of any kind. This action will help you realize where you need help cooking and where you lack. And also, it makes cooking fast because everything needed is organized and ready to use.
DON'T OVERCROWD YOUR COOKING SPACE.
A messy kitchen makes cooking tiring and does not interest people to eat from your plate. From your table space to your sink, to your gas space and floor, ensure that as you cook, you wash your cooking utensil immediately and dispose of every used wrapper of ingredient or trash. It makes the environment feel lighter and interests you to continue cooking. Psychologically, a choked space stresses one out and makes you not want to work in that environment. It also prevents food poisoning.
DON'T LEAVE THE KITCHEN.
Monitoring your food closely is a lifesaver. You'll be able to tell when it immediately needs an ingredient or prevent it from burning. In this way, you'll cook like a pro because you monitored your coming from the very beginning, till the end. Added when necessary and reduced when necessary.
