Tips
- Use good ingredients: Choose ripe fruit, fresh herbs, or quality pantry ingredients because simple recipes depend on good flavor.
- Let it rest when needed: Resting helps fillings thicken, baked desserts set, and finished dishes slice or serve more cleanly.
- Adjust to taste: Taste and adjust sugar, lemon juice, salt, herbs, or seasoning to match your ingredients.
Substitutions
- Use frozen fruit when needed: Frozen fruit can work in many baked fruit desserts and jams if excess liquid is managed.
- Make it your style: Add cinnamon, vanilla, citrus zest, herbs, nuts, or a different topping to fit the recipe.
- Use what you have: Similar pans, dishes, or serving pieces can work as long as the food has room to cook evenly.
