It is often possible to prepare your ingredients as much as 24 hours ahead of time. In this manner, even complicated recipes become simple and easy meals.


Garlic is a great ingredient but it can leave a strong smell on your hands and utensils. After using garlic or other foods with odors that stick to your hands, all you need to do is rub your hands on a piece of stainless steel, like your sink. This serves to both clean your hands thoroughly and prevent the odors from seeping into any other food you are going to handle.
