100 Greatest Cooking Tips

                                  

Check Out All of the Handwritten Tips from Food Network Chefs 

1. Remember, y'all, it’s all about the prep. Take away the stress by doing the prep the night or day before. You'll look like a star.Paula Deen Paula’s Best Dishes

2. The smaller the item, the higher the baking temperature. For example, I bake mini chocolate chip-toffee cookies at 500 degrees F for only 4 minutes. Perfect end result. Jim Lahey Co. and Sullivan Street Bakery, New York City

3. Store spices in a cool, dark place, not above your stove. Humidity, light and heat will cause herbs and spices to lose their flavor.Rick Tramonto Tramonto's Steak & Seafood, Osteria di Tramonto and RT Lounge, Wheeling, IL

4. Use a coarse microplane to shave vegetables into salads or vinaigrettes. You can create an orange-fennel dressing by adding grated fennel and orange zest to a simple vinaigrette. Paul Kahan Avec, Big Star, Blackbird and The Publican, Chicago

5. Always make stock in a large quantity and freeze it in plastic bags. That way, when you want to make a nice soup or boil veggies, you can simply pull the bag out of the freezer. Charlie Trotter Charlie Trotter's, Chicago

6. If you're cooking for someone important — whether it's your boss or a date — never try a new recipe and a new ingredient at the same time.Marcus Samuelsson Red Rooster, New York City

7. Cook pasta 1 minute less than the package instructions and cook it the rest of the way in the pan with sauce.
Mario Batali Iron Chef America

8. After making eggs sunny-side up, deglaze the pan with sherry vinegar, then drizzle the sauce on the eggs to add another dimension to the dish. Didier Elena New York City

9. After working with garlic, rub your hands vigorously on your stainless steel sink for 30 seconds before washing them. It will remove the odor. Gerard Craft Niche and Taste, St. Louis

10. Brine, baby, brine! Ya gotta brine that poultry to really give it the super flavor.
Guy Fieri Diners, Drive-ins and Dives

Vegetable Juice Recipes for healthy life..

Carrot Juice Here's my favorite carrot juice recipe. I make this juice almost every morning. Very quick and easy: Ingredients 1 lbs large carrots (washed and peeled) 1/2 lemon (peeled) few green leafs such as red lettuce or carrot greens 1 apple Directions Put all ingredients in your  juicer . (A centrifuge juicer is easiest for carrots.) Mix. Drink immediately. I peel the carrot for taste (otherwise it tastes too earthy). I find this recipe sweet enough, but if you're a beginner juicer or have a sweet tooth, add an apple for extra sweetness. The health benefits of carrot juice? It provides Vitamin A, B Vitamins, Vitamin E and many minerals (including calcium).
