Can you share your top tips with our readers?
I have an important personal practice I live by, and it is: don’t be afraid of seasoning your food, especially salt. For the best flavors, be sure to use a high-quality coarse salt to garnish your dishes. Also, don’t be afraid of fieriness, and get the lovely kick of flavor with a pinch of spicy sauce to round out every dish’s profile.
