| Cooking With Chiles
|
|
The earlier you add fresh chiles to a recipe that you're cooking, the hotter the bite will be. If you like a more mild bite then add them to your recipe at the last possible moment.

| Using Balsamic Vinegar
|
All balsamic vinegars are not created equal. Traditional artisan balsamic vinegar is highly praised by gourmet chefs and is also very expensive. The balsamic vinegar drizzled liberally over a salads which many of us are familiar is not made in the same way as the traditional artisan balsamic vinegar, which is reduced grape juice aged for at least 12 years in various types of wooden barrels.

| Using Arrowroot

Arrowroot is used as a thickening agent for gravies and sauces. Will give a nice gloss to the food you add it to.
