Cooking Tips for Dummies

This is a must read precursor post for all the Dummies on Do’s & Don’ts in a Kitchen . Most of the points are Common sense. However, reiteration has become necessary as Common sense is not too common.

• Always Use holder to handle the cooking bowls/utensils
• Stick a nametag to each and every ingredient in kitchen
• Always be conservative with use of Sugar & Salt as there is no Undo Option
• Have the recipe on a paper with Font Size of 30
• Have the ingredients for each dish well before you heat up the stove
• Practice your cooking with local cuisine…Continental shall wait till you graduate as Master Chef
• While cooking, your mind & body should be in kitchen…No TV / Internet/Phone
• Timing is the key differentiator between a good and bad dish…Have a Clock in the Kitchen
• Don’t Worry…A lot of people haven’t got any cooking talent
• Savor the favorite dish you cooked yourself. Even if its undercooked it will taste heavenly (although only for you)

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
