The useful part
Three ways to cook better
Season in layers
Add salt and acidity throughout the process rather than trying to correct everything at the end.
Give heat room
A well-heated pan and a little space help vegetables, fish and meat develop real color.
Finish with contrast
Fresh herbs, toasted seeds or a squeeze of citrus can sharpen a dish just before serving.
