Good dishes begin with good basics...

The recipe for a successful dish starts before the cooking even begins. If you're a beginner or making something for the first time, you don't want to miss these helpful hints:

With most dishes, the recipe holds the key to your success. So, don't skim through it. Take the time to get it right.


• Read the recipe all the way through at least twice before you start, making sure you understand the instructions. You don't want any surprises up ahead.
  
  
• Make sure you have all the ingredients. Sounds obvious, but many a good cook has discovered he's out of a key ingredient halfway through the process.
  
  
• Have all your ingredients accurately measured. Too much or too little of some things – like baking powder – can ruin a dish.
  
  
• Make sure you understand the measuring instructions. Half a cup of nuts, chopped, is not the same as half a cup of chopped nuts. Make sure you know whether to chop and then measure or the other way around.
  
  
• Remember, “Beat two eggs separately” means to separate the whites from the yolks and beat – not put an egg in two different bowls.
