How to make things taste nice

Salt, butter and vinegar, and a technique for cooking beef

It’s my job to make food taste good, and fortunately for me, it appears that I’m quite good at it, and with that in mind, I write this today for those of you that aren’t trained cooks. Those of you who aren’t afraid to try different ingredients and who want to raise the stakes.

I thought I’d share some pointers that we use as chefs that you might not realise the importance of when preparing a plate of food. Simple tips that will change the way your ingredients taste.

I’ll also share a recipe today, for a simple technique for cooking beef that you probably won’t know, using a trick we used years back to create the most mind-blowing flavours and resting juices imaginable.
