TIPS

• Save the liquid from soaked sun-dried tomatoes or dates. When you need water for your recipe use the soaked water for added flavor.
• I use a lot of Ziploc bags to marinate my ingredients in. The thing is I'm using the same few bags every time. I just wash them and let them air dry until I need them again. Good for the environment.
• Keep a 5-gallon painter's bucket (with lid) near your food prep area and dump all your scraps. Dump it outside at the end of the day.
