I know our recipes are just perfect! BUT if you ever branch out on your own and make a boo boo - these tips could be a life (dish!) savor!
************
Ask professional chefs what the secret to good cooking is and they'll say, "Taste, taste, taste." Once you understand the special relationship between salty, sweet and sour flavors, you'll be able to fine-tune the taste of any dish until it's perfect. Try these steps on any dish that can use some salt, sugar or lemon juice mixed in or sprinkled over it.
Steps:
1. Think of salt, sugar and acid as the trinity that holds up all other flavors. When these three are out of balance, the other flavors in a dish can also fail to come together.
2. To fix a sauce or soup that has too much salt, for example, add a dash of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice.
3. If a sauce or soup is too sweet for you, add salt and lemon juice.
4. If a sauce or soup is too sour, then adjust the flavor with a bit of salt and sugar.
5. Adjust seasonings gradually, and stir well after each addition.
Overall Tips:
Depending on the dish, you can use wine or vinegar in place of lemon juice.
