Why the borscht turned out blue and 4 more common mistakes of novice cooks

To avoid making an unfortunate mistake in the kitchen, you should learn from the mistakes of others.

For example, you shouldn’t cook cabbage soup from red cabbage – the finished dish will have a blue color.

Another common mistake is stewing potatoes with tomatoes. If you put tomatoes in raw potatoes, there is a high probability that they will not cook through, since the acid in tomatoes slows down the cooking of vegetables.

You should also not try to make a milkshake with the addition of sour berries.

By adding, for example, currants, the milk will curdle, resulting in a “curdled” cocktail.

Fans of cheese soup know that it can only be prepared using processed cheese.

But hard cheese added to the pan may behave unpredictably - for example, it may stick to the inside of the dishes, and you will be exhausted washing the kitchen utensils.

And finally, the cherry on the cake – if you soak blackcurrant pudding in cognac, you will be surprised by a bright green dessert.
