A lot has been said about good food. It is said to be the way to earn a man's love and what holds many families together.

If you are preparing stir-fry, be sure to slice the meat on the bias and very thin. This is rather difficult to do, and can take a lot of time. When you remove the meat from the freezer, it should be firm, not frozen. Slice across the meat's grain while holding the knife at a 45-degree angle.

Store your spices in a cool, dark place. Exposing spices to heat, humidity, and light will shorten their lifespan. You can preserve the flavor and freshness of your spices by storing them in a dark, cool spot. If you use fresh spices, your food will taste better.

Do you cook often with fresh basil? Place fresh basil into a glass. Make sure the stems are covered with water. This will allow it to stay fresh for weeks! If you pay close attention and frequently change the water in the glass, you are likely to see basil roots starting to grow. Cut it on occasion and your plant will continue to provide you with fresh basil for a long time to come.

Take the stress out of a major cooking endeavor by completing as much prep work in advance as possible. Peruse your recipes and look for things you can do ahead of time. Choose items that will not spoil. There are many recipes where you can do the prep work the day before you start cooking. More complex recipes become quicker and more fun this way.
