ONE SIMPLE THING

What is the one simple thing that you do to your dish, whatever it may be, that makes it better than anyone elses??????

Mine is steamed carrots.....Healthy but Ewwwww.
After steaming sprinkle powdered sugar on them. It dissolves so there is no appearance of it at all but makes them soooooo tasty. Got this from the chef at Josh's in Tahoe.

My granny made wonderful carrots.  I have never been able to replicate that special taste.  I always thought it was the heart stopping mound of butter that she cooked them in?  Will give your way a try.
When preparing fish I like to dribble a lime on them while they are still on the grill.  I wring out that lime to the last drop. 

That's a big time Restaurant Trick if it don't taste right add a little sugar.

Butter & Brown Sugar, then caramalize slightly

Soy- Ginger reduction sauce

A bit of nutmeg on green beans... sounds wierd but give it a try... pretty good.

Ginger in pancake and waffle batter.

Soy- Ginger reduction sauce

Butter & Brown Sugar, then caramalize slightly

What do you use this on????

Parmigiano-Reggiano grated on almost any savory dish is Super

Butter & brown sugar on the carrots.  Stop yer heart & give you cavities, but they are carrots

Add a touch of "Pappy's" seasoning. Gives alittle kick to anything.

I actually had a class up at Ramekins where we did something similar with a Salmon in parchment.

I am humbled in the prescense of a master of simplification

This may be a little reversed and more in the preparation but any shark that I cook gets a bath in milk for a few hours. Really cleans up the flavor of the meat.

Oh yeah, and Old Bay for chowders!
