1. A good cook must have these three important qualities:

1. Willing spirit   b. consistency  c. cleanliness
   

2. Use long-grain rice.  It cooks fluffier and has a tendency no to be as starchy.
   

3. Food which is three days old or older should not be used because either it has spoiled or has acquired a refrigerator taste.  This procedure helps you to avoid unhealthy incidents.




4. Make breakfast and lunch your heaviest meals.  Eating heavy at a late hour can cause weight-gain and stomach discomforts.
   

5. Avoid peeling vegetables unless absolutely necessary because many nutrients are found in the peelings.
   

6. You will use less spices when cooking at a medium-to-low flame because at that temperature, the spices cook through the food.
   

7. Recipes utilizing pickle relish should use the liquid from the relish to enhance the flavor.
