- Boil your rice like pasta to get wonderfully fluffy rice - Rest your food before eating (meat, casserole, lasagna, pizza, etc) - A $4 meat thermometer is how you test, not cutting and releasing all the juices - Understand the Maillard reaction to get flavor into food esp meat - Under-salt your pasta sauce, over-salt the water when you boil the pasta - Buy only high-quality oil. Not only for taste/freshness, but higher smoke point - Fat has been wrongly maligned, save it and use it - A touch of acidity (lemon juice, dry citric acid, pickle juice, etc) is required in nearly all dishes - A pinch of cane sugar takes the funkiness out of many sauces - Pressure cookers turn the cheapest cuts of meat into succulent, tender morsels - Good food is mostly technique and appropriate seasoning, not expensive ingredients
