Hello my dear readers,
Here we are, with my fourth tip in the kitchen:
Prepare all your ingredients before cooking or baking.
In professional kitchens and restaurants cooks always set up their work stations and gather all ingredients necessary for the recipe, they measure them and chop and prepare them if needed.
I advise to do the same thing at home, as it seriously helps with organisation and I talk from my own experience 🤪. First, it will guarantee you never forget to add an ingredient and second, will save you time from running back and forth from the pantry several times.
Have a lovely day!

“Mise en place” always something we learn as chefs right away! A great tip indeed my dear.
Have a good day! 🙂
And something that we, home cooks, need to learn from you chefs 😉 👩🍳
Thank you! Wish you a lovely day too! 😉🌸
Thank you my dear! Keep rocking the beautiful recipes and posts. Have a great rest of your week! xx
Thank you very much! Very appreciated 🌸🌸 Have a wonderful weekend too!
Thank you! Enjoy your Sunday dear. xx
The kids just bought a samgyupsal stove this morning. Gonna try this tonight. They bought different kinds of sausages too. I also line up my ingredients when I cook. Thanks for these tips Ribana.
Will be a wonderful dinner 😉😋 Enjoy it Arlene! 😉
Thanks Ribana 🙂 🙂
I seldom cook because it’s time consuming. That and cleaning up afterwards. When I do cook it’s usually a rewarding experience👩🍳
I do it almost everyday but my cooking is always very fast 😉 Very rarely it happens to take me more than half an hour to cook and prepare the dinner 😉 Cooking sometimes is relaxing too 😉 and of course rewarding 😉 Thank you Hilary!
✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Thank you 😊
Rightly said.
Happy Day 🙂
Thank you Kritika!
Have a lovely day! 🌸

😉 important is to enjoy it 😉
Good tip. Exactly what I don’t do. 💖
Hahaha…thank you 😉
A very important tip indeed!
Thank you 😉
You’re welcome!
I am just curious! What did you make using rice puffs and asparagus 😁
Risotto with asparagus 😉 Here is the recipe https://popsiclesociety.com/2020/09/12/asparagus-risotto/ Enjoy it 😉
OMG that’s uncooked rice. I got it now.
Just normal rice 😉 that became risotto 😉
I love your cooking tips. Whenever I cook a proper meal, I love to have all the ingredients right in front of me. There’s nothing worse than realising you are out of certain stuff half way through cooking 🙈 Thanks for sharing and have a good day 😀 Aiva
Thank you very much Aiva! Oh yes, and even worst is if you realize you don’t have it and you don’t have a market or supermarket nearby to quickly buy the missing ingredients 🤪 and you already imagined yourself enjoying the result 🙈🤪
Have a lovely day too! 🌸
Agree. And that’s why even when I’m not feeling good I prepare to be the one who manage the kitchen and cooking because if I live it to my husband and son… sigh, it looks like a bomb just exploded there. 😂
Hahaha…means they’re having fun in the kitchen 😉 👨🍳 🤪
😂 I guess you’re right haha
Mom always reviews her recipes a day bfr and prepares all ingredients just in case ..
That’s always wise 😉
Better check everything before starting 😉 just in case…you never know 😉
Great tip, I try to do this whenever I bake 🎂
Thank you Saania! 🌸🎀
Great advice! This is how I like to do it too. What did you end up making with the asparagus and rice? 😋 🥘
Thank you very much! Yes, better reading the whole recipe before starting making it 😉 to avoid any nasty surprises 🤪
I did a super delicious and easy risotto with asparagus 😉 https://popsiclesociety.com/2020/09/12/asparagus-risotto/
Ooohhh that sounds delicious! I’ve always been too scared to try making risotto, thinking I won’t do it justice. 😬 Thanks for sharing your recipe. What’s your top tip for someone whose never made risotto? 😋👩🏽🍳
I know seems scary but you may try my recipe, you’ll see is much easier than you think 😉 Top tip is to use the right rice 😉 Use Carnaroli or Arborio and always toast it a little bit before adding the broth 😉 Be patient and add just a ladle of broth at a time in order to not overcook the rice 😉
Let me know if you try it 😉 Is really easy and super delicious 😋
Oooh nice! Thanks so much for the pro tips! Hopefully I can find one of those rices. Let me give it a go sometime and let you know how I go. Thanks again ☺️
My pleasure! Carnaroli and Arborio are quite common rices so hopefully you’ll be able to find them as really is the fundamental for a good risotto 😉😋
Totally agree! 😍
Thank you for stopping by! 🌸
You’re most welcome!
I love that tip, I always do that and its wonderful just having all the ingredients in front of you so when it’s time to actually cook, it’s just mix mix , chop chop , stir stir , and then eat!
Hahaha, very true! And it gives the feeling that we have everything under control 😉🤪
its simple but very important.
True! Thank you ☺️
Excellent tip.
Thank you ☺️
Indeed. It helps to save time while cooking or baking also it keeps the chef to be focus in cooking.
Exactly 😉 Preparing everything before starting to cook or bake, makes chef’s life easier ☺️ Happy cooking!
Thank ya for the tips
You’re very welcome 😉
