Basic Kitchen Safety
Have you ever given any thought to keeping safe in your
kitchen? Most people probably do not even give safety in their
kitchen a second thought. You just go in there, make something
to eat, clean it up, and that's it....
Chinese Cooking: Sauces & Spices
Sauces and spices are the key in any cooking. No dishes would taste good without them. The only exception is that some sea animals can be simply steamed or boiled before serve. Well, that is because they are salty already in their body. Imagine...

The Well-Stocked Pantry -- A Cook's Secret Weapon
Doing any job is easier when you have the right tools on hand.
One of a cook's best tools -- and secret weapons -- is having a
well-stocked pantry.
Cooking is much simpler if you know that you've already got what
you need on hand, and aren't going to have to run to the corner
market every time you want to fix a meal.
Having a well-stocked pantry is also the secret weapon of every
"Hostess with the Mostest" especially when unexpected guests
drop by.
You'll be able to make every guest feel special and welcome
because, whether it is appetizers for four or dinner for ten,
you can handle it with style and panache. In fact, your
reputation -- and your sanity -- will be assured, because with
these things in your pantry, you can put together beautiful and
tasty food that is beautifully presented in just minutes, simply
and easily.
Here is a list of basic ingredients that should be in any
well-stocked pantry. (One great way to stock your pantry is to
buy one or two things on the list each time you go shopping,
rather than trying to get it all at once. If you watch the sales
and take advantage of seasonal buys, you'll be able to save
money as well!)
Remember to rotate everything in your pantry on a regular basis,
and adjust the items on this list to suit your family's likes
and dislikes.
