Salt little and early, so the salt has time to work its' way into the food. Always keep your knives sharp. Most of cooking is mood-based for me so I'm barely measuring, I balance through taste lol
Oh and invest in sauces and spice mixes. Sometimes you forget that something has no heat and a dash of dried garlic pepper mix fixes it up faster than frantically chopping and stirring in at that late stage.

- you should use more fat than you think you need
When you go to a restaurant, a majority of foods you order (meat/vegetables/starchy sides) have maybe twice or triple the amount of butter/oil that is required of any conventional recipe
It is no surprise that fat tastes good - donβt be scared of using it - go Mediterranean mode on the amount of oil or fat you use! Opt for quality grass fed butter if you can splurge or high quality oils (olive or avocado oil is my go to, Graza is a great everyday olive oil)
- you should incorporate heterogeneity and a range of texture
Sometimes food can taste blah if you have been preparing it the same way over and over again. If youβre used to chopping carrots or potatoes into slices or thick chunks, cut it on a bias (diagonally) to improve the texture and make the dish more exciting
- salt acid fat heat theory still stands
Balance is everything
- finally, cook to context
Think about how you should adjust the recipe: what ingredients do you have? what culture of cuisine is it? how can you improve each aspect of each step in a recipe depending on the ingredient?

theres nothing worse than rushing to chop or sautee something while something else needs to be done.
try to do all your prep work before so you'll be good to go when it's go time.

it's totally cool to age and society still isn't equipped to deal with that.

Sometimes you try your best and everything seems to hit the fan no matter how much you try, so you take that raincheck and take yourself out for a day.

This is what I call it hahahah made by mums everywhere but the greased up version is sold along stalls in Mumbai. Two regular slices of white bread, buttered, and the middle filling is cream cheese with red onions, coriander/cilantro, tomatoes and some minced chillis. All veggies chopped mini cube size so they blend with the cheese. Toasted crispy.
