Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, seasonal ingredients for the best results.
