Keep your spices and herbs in a dark, cool place. Exposure to humidity, light and heat all affect the flavor of your spices. In general, herbs and spices that are ground will retain their flavor for up to one year. Whole spices can keep their flavor for up to five years. They'll remain fresh longer if stored properly.

When adding oil to a pan or skillet that already contains food, drizzle the oil down the side of the pan. The oil will heat as it flows toward the center. Your finished dishes will be enhanced and more flavorful if you do this.

Have you felt sorry for tossing moldy fruit away? Have you ever thought to just remove the moldy section by cutting it out? Unfortunately, there's no safe way to save a piece of fruit that is partially rotting. Mold grows deep into the fruit, and by eating it you will risk illness.

If you are seasoning meat, cook a little piece of it to test the seasoning before cooking it all. Certain foods require very careful seasonings, especially dishes like meatballs, meatloaf and burgers. Never prepare the entire amount immediately after seasoning it. Instead, make a little piece into a patty and cook it first. Once you've tasted the meat, change the seasoning accordingly, then cook the entire piece of meat.

Only cook with wine that you have tasted before and that you enjoy. If you use a wine that you are not familiar with or do not enjoy, you are risking culinary disaster when it comes to the flavor of your food. You can find wines that are made primarily to cook with.

Fresh ingredients are always preferable to dried or frozen ones in all of your recipes. Use any fresh ingredients that are available. They are not only tastier in general, but they also tend to be cheaper, as well.

Replace the standby liquids of milk and water in recipes to mix things up. When you cook vegetables you can use chicken broth or add beef instead of water. If your favorite recipes call for milk, try substituting with buttermilk, yogurt or sour cream. Substituting the liquid in a dish can add nutrient content, flavor or both.

When serving a salad at a social gathering, keep the dressing in a dish to the side. Amount and type of dressing are personal tastes, so let your guests dress their own salad. It is also a good idea to offer several dressing choices.

Going over labels on ingredients for what you're going to make to eat is important to do. Unwanted additives are sometimes placed in many cooking staples, and this may be unhealthy. It is a good idea to verify that ingredients not contain high levels of sugar or sodium. Over-consumption of these can create health issues.
