The royal rules of the kitchen.

Habits borrowed from restaurant line cooks that make home cooking calmer and tastier.

Prep before you fire

Chop and measure everything first. Once the pan is hot, you only have time to cook.

Salt as you go

A little seasoning at each stage builds flavor that a last-second shake never will.

Respect the rest

Meat, fish and baked goods all finish cooking off the heat. Give them a few minutes.

Recipe of the week.

Garlic shrimp tossed with linguine, lemon and a splash of wine. It's on the table in 25 minutes and tastes like a trattoria on date night.
