Sometimes all you need is one little touch to turn an ordinary dinner into a work of culinary art.

Therefore, we hope that the simple tips that we will share with you today will certainly be useful for you.

First, let's talk about onions and garlic. Did you know that over time they can lose their flavor and aroma?

For this reason, you shouldn't use half an onion that's been in the refrigerator for a week in your cooking – start on the onion and garlic at the very last minute.

Another trick for these vegetables is that if you need to reduce their spiciness, soak the onion or garlic in a solution of 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon baking soda before adding them to a dish, then rinse thoroughly.

Now about fresh fats: butter or vegetable oil, nuts and other products. Rancid, they can spoil the taste of any dish.

To prevent this, minimize their exposure to light and oxygen.

We will also tell you how to get fried products with a golden crust, which are certainly much tastier than usual.

To achieve this result, add a pinch of sugar to the pan with the chicken or vegetables.

Finally, we will tell you how to “wake up” the smell of dried herbs and spices and thus make them even tastier. All you need to do is fry the spices for 1-2 minutes with a small amount of oil.
