How to prepare the liver and roasts

Image
How to prepare the liver, breaded steaks and many other tips – To check if it is fresh, press the meat with your finger. If the dimple that has formed quickly returns back into place, the meat is fresh. Fresh meat remains almost dry at the place where it is cut.

Tricks to make tasty meals

Image
 Tricks to make tasty meals – In the pressure cooker, avoid preparing fruit compotes, especially apples, because the foam that forms can block the communication space of the vessel with the outside and the safety valve can get blocked. For the same reason, when boiling rice or dried vegetables, leave the heat very low. – The mayonnaise becomes more foamy if, when it is ready, you combine it with a spoonful of cold water. – When the cooked rice for the risotto is almost ready, add a glass of milk. The preparation will enrich its content and it will be easier to digest. – Put a spoonful of olive or sunflower oil in the raw carrot salad. In this way, vitamin A from carrots will be easier to assimilate. Avoid adding lemon juice, because it destroys vitamin A, which is so valuable. – Potatoes boiled in their skins, and especially potatoes baked in the oven, can become particularly tasty like this: cut them in half lengthwise while they are still hot and put half a teaspoon of butter and...

Practical advices 1

How to store meat The spoiled meat has a sticky surface and is often covered with mold. If you press on this flesh, there are traces. The tendons are covered with mucus. The color of the altered meat is gray or greenish. It has a heavy smell of rot. The bone marrow is gray. How to store eggs Altered eggs can be recognized in two ways: either with the ovoscope (available at health and consumer protection institutions) by the abnormal appearance of the content, which is opaque or colored in red, green, or black, or by  breaking, when an unpleasant smell of rotting or “hatched eggs” is released.    How to store milk and dairy products The cheese kept in the refrigerator will be put in a plastic bag and well squeezed into the mouth, to maintain its tenderness.  In a household, fresh vegetables are also used in the winter, such as onions, garlic, leeks, carrots, parsley, celery, winter radish, beetroot, potatoes and cabbage. All these vegetables must be stored well to be ...

The salad, the sauce and the drinks

Image
How we serve drinks To elevate the serving experience, it's preferable not to clutter the table with apéritif glasses, if space permits. Guests can enjoy their drinks in a separate room, comfortably seated on chairs, sofas, armchairs, or even standing. Apéritifs are traditionally served before the meal. Glasses can be presented on a designated table, perhaps in another room or a spacious living area, or arranged neatly on a tray for guests to help themselves to their preferred selections. Ideally, offer a diverse assortment of appetizers to cater to various tastes, such as gin, vodka, cherry brandy, florio, whiskey, vermouth, etc. Ensure all drinks are served from their original bottles, except for homemade cherry brandy. Keep the bottles easily accessible on a separate tray from the glasses. Wine and water bottles should be symmetrically positioned on the table, within reach of guests. Men typically undertake the responsibility of serving drinks to avoid staining the table, with t...

Setting the table to serve food

Image
 Setting the table      Creating an inviting atmosphere for a meal involves more than just the food itself; it encompasses the art of setting the table. Whether preparing for a family gathering or a festive occasion, the presentation plays a crucial role in enhancing the dining experience.      Avoid serving food on chipped plates or beneath soiled tablecloths, as these detract from the overall appeal. Festive occasions demand pristine white tablecloths and napkins, though colored alternatives can be suitable for family settings. However, plastic table-tops are best avoided, as they lack sophistication.      Arranging chairs around the table requires precision, ensuring each guest has ample space, even accommodating those who maintain proper etiquette by keeping their elbows close. Each guest should be allotted at least 50 centimeters of space for comfort.      Distinctions between family meals and those with guests extend...
