There is a simple thing that I do that ensures my cooking always turns out great. I actually taste it. That's right. You just have to taste what you make. It's a big part of cooking.
I don't even really follow recipes when I cook because I mostly prepare Mediterranean meals that consist of easy and hearty meals, that in my opinion, hold a similar concept. I learned to cook from my mother who is a phenomenal cook. I watched her make the traditional meals from where both my parents came from Italy and then started to do the same. The technique involves great ingredients and caring. I find that when you put your heart into the things you do it actually turns out so amazing.
My mom and I love to watch cooking shows together and we cook many different international meals on account of that too. On top of the delicious Mediterranean meals, (Italian, French and Greek mostly), I can also do Butter Chicken, Japanese Teriyaki and stir fries are some of my favorite meals from around the world that I make easily!
Rachael Ray has some pretty incredible and easy meals that she has on her website and the Food Network site. I found some of her books at yard sales and thrift shops for a great price that are loaded with some great ideas. I learned how to make the perfect boiled egg thanks to her on her show. Bring water and eggs to a boil. Cover. Put on simmer. Time for 10 minutes. Voila! They are perfect!
