Tasting, tasting, and more tasting. Most great cooks continuously taste their
preparations throughout the entire process of cooking them, adjusting things
as needed. Inevitably in a kitchen setting when a helper is given a recipe to
make and it turns out less than ideal, they always say they followed the
recipe exactly and respond negatively when asked if they tasted and adjusted
it at each crucial stage in it's preparation. Also the use of salt separates
a great cook from other cooks. Leaving out the salt (in whatever quantity)
makes for a bland dish. Adding a pinch of sugar to all vegetables which
produces a 'garden' fresh flavor in them.
