Cooking Tips

* When a recipe calls for adding oil, garlic, and onions to a pan,
always add garlic last. This keeps it from burning and tasting
bitter.

* Make your own celery flakes. Just cut and wash the leaves from
the celery stalks; place them in the oven on low heat or in the hot
sun until thoroughly dry. Crumble and store in an air-tight
container.

* Put sliced cucumbers, onions, carrots and/or pieces of
cauliflower in leftover pickle juice and in a couple of days they
will be pickled.

* Don't discard the water in which the vegetables are soaked or
cooked. It is more flavorful than plain water so use it in making
soup or gravy.
