Waiting for a new camera in the mail before I start posting daily recipes, as I want to include pictures (What's a recipe without pictures?!) So I thought it would be fun to include a tip of the day in the meantime. Todays tip:
Seasoning! This is one of the simplest ways to improve your cooking without adding any additional ingredients or time. Proper seasoning is what makes or breaks a dish. Always season high and dry! Meaning, keep your hand atleast 6 inches above the food you are seasoning, this ensures even distribution. Keep your hands dry, this will prevent clumping, and again helps in even distribution. Another tip, which will enhance the depth of a dish, is to season each ingredient individually as you add them. Taste along the way, making sure not to over season. When your dish is ready to be served, give it one last taste and decide if more S+P is needed. When seasoned properly, all the ingredients should meld to create one, mouthwatering taste.

Never be afraid to use salt! (Unless of course its for health reasons) Be sure to add a small amount at a time, and taste frequently. A great way to tell if you have added enough salt is to pay attention to each individual ingredient in whatever you are making. When you have added enough salt the flavors will meld together and be less noticeable as an individual entity. You now have a properly seasoned dish. This will happen before the dish would be considered "salty", so you have nothing to worry about!
