Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Vegetable and Fruit Tips

Vegetable and Fruit Tips

* Prevent discoloration of green leafy vegetables: Add a pinch of common salt and sugar to the cooking vegetable so as to avoid discoloration of green leafy vegetables.

* Onion peeling without crying: Peel onions under water to avoid "crying". Another option is to refrigerate onions before cutting.

* Keep green leafy vegetables fresh for longer time: Wrap green leafy vegetables in a newspaper before putting in the vegetable bag or tray. This will keep them fresh much longer.

* Keep celery fresh for a longer time: Celery wrapped in aluminum foil before refrigerating will remain fresh for weeks.

* Stop potatoes from rotting: Potatoes rot quickly if stored near onions. To prevent potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

* Keep chillies fresh for a longer time: While storing green chilies, remove the stems.  Cooking Tips

* When a recipe calls for adding oil, garlic, and onions to a pan, always add garlic last. This keeps it from burning and tasting bitter.

* Make your own celery flakes. Just cut and wash the leaves from the celery stalks; place them in the oven on low heat or in the hot sun until thoroughly dry. Crumble and store in an air-tight container.

* Put sliced cucumbers, onions, carrots and/or pieces of cauliflower in leftover pickle juice and in a couple of days they will be pickled.

* Don't discard the water in which the vegetables are soaked or cooked. It is more flavorful than plain water so use it in making soup or gravy.

* If you are baking and out of eggs, substitute 1/4 cup applesauce for 1 egg.
