Random Cooking Tips

I'm not a very advanced cook, but there are a few things I know about cooking. From safety to recipes, here are some tips to help you improve your cooking, especially if you're a beginner

• Even though I don't like them, use bananas in a smoothie to get an extra-creamy texture.
• When chopping something, make sure you curl your fingers under. (See picture above)
  

• Use salt to bring out the flavor in things, but not too much!
• Honey is a good ingredient to use in dressing. It sweetens the dressing, but dissolves much better than sugar and really blends with the sharp taste well.
• Citrus zest adds a nice zing to a carrot cake or pie.

Try out some of these tips. And remember: always add a pinch of love.
