CHAPTER 1. The Basics

Techniques

Cooking meals is an art. In this chapter, we are going to reveal the science of basic cooking knowledge. Below is a list of basic cooking techniques that are used throughout this cookbook. It will be helpful to familiarize yourself with them before moving on to the recipes. When making a recipe, use your intuition as to whether you should add more or less of certain ingredients, and how long to cook some dishes.
