Critical Success Points

  • • Properly brown meat and aromatics for lasagna and stroganoff for maximum flavor.
  • • Add liquid gradually to one-pot pastas to avoid soupy or undercooked results.
  • • Do not overcook steak for stroganoff; add back only at the end.
  • • Eat mac & cheese immediately for best texture.

Safety Warnings

  • • Use caution when flambéing with brandy—keep a lid nearby to smother flames.
  • • Handle hot pans and boiling liquids carefully to avoid burns.
  • • Cut vegetables with care; keep fingers tucked.
