You don't have to be a top chef to learn how to cook better. These few tricks can help you on your way to becoming a good cook.
1. Experiment regularly
The secret of preparing a tasty dish often lies in a surprising twist. So experiment regularly, even if only by adding other spices to a dish that you make more often.
2. Try out new dishes in advance
Don't experiment when you get eaters. Make sure you have already tried new dishes in advance, so you reduce the risk that your dishes will fail.
3. Collect tips
Do you know someone who excels in the kitchen? Ask for tips. In addition, visit culinary websites or watch 24Kitchen. Pick out the tips you like, write them down and try them the next time you make a particular dish.
4. Know the basics
Which products can you eat raw, what should you always cook in advance? How do you make a good dressing or bechamel sauce? Knowing the basics reduces the chance of failed dishes.
5. Keep practicing
Has a dish failed? Do not grieve. Try to discover what is missing, or have you used too much of one ingredient? By paying attention to this, a dish can turn out better next time. In addition, the cliché is true:practice makes perfect, also in the kitchen.
