Did you know that to yield maximum juice from a citrus fruit, simply roll it under the palm of your hand on a work surface before squeezing the juice as normal? That floury potatoes make the best chips? Or that if garlic is to be used in a dish that you are planning to freeze, it is best to omit the garlic during cooking, then add it to the food after thawing, as garlic can taste musty after freezing?
Kitchen Wisdom ends with an invaluable Reference section, helping you to do everything from freezing to party planning. This comprehensive guide is a must for every discerning cook wishing to make cooking disasters a thing of the past.
