How to minimize the time you spend

in the kitchen

Mess in place- It is a french culinary term that has helped me in so many ways. I hope it helps you, it is a very easy concept.

Mise en place 

o   Is important to understand that the fastest and most simple way to cook is to keep your mess in place.

o   Organize yourself, before you start to cook get all the ingredients needed for the recipe and prepare them as indicated.

o   If you prepare yourself it will take you less time to cook and it will also prepare you for what’s ahead, just in case you are missing some ingredients and need to find a quick substitute.

How to prepare your mise en place

o   Gather all the ingredients in the recipe

o   Collect all the utensils you may need to prepare the ingredients

o   Clean, cut and portion all the ingredients in the recipe

o   Prepare your cooking equipment; turn on the oven, stove, etc.
