Techniques from Chef Billy Parisi
All techniquesSalt from about a foot above the food to cover more surface area
When seasoning, sprinkle salt from roughly 12 inches above so it distributes more evenly across the surface.
Season with salt in small amounts at each stage of cooking
Salt lightly throughout the cooking process (and taste as you go) instead of dumping it all in at the end.
Use whole spices: toast gently, then grind for maximum aroma
Choose whole spices over pre-ground, toast them briefly on low heat until aromatic, then grind before using.
Finish sauces and resting meats with unsalted butter for richness and sheen
Stir in a little unsalted butter at the end of cooking (or add to a resting steak) to add body, richness, and a glossy finish.
Use dried herbs early and fresh herbs at the end
Add dried herbs at the beginning where there’s liquid, and finish with fresh herbs for the brightest flavor and garnish.
Add a little acid to balance soups, stews, and proteins
Use lemon juice or vinegar early in soups/stews or as a finishing squeeze on proteins to brighten flavor without making it taste “lemony.”
Freeze vegetable scraps to make richer homemade stock later
Save clean vegetable trimmings in the freezer and use them to build vegetable stock or enrich meat stocks.
Clean as you go to speed prep and reduce stress
Continuously clear scraps and clutter while cooking so your board stays usable and you stay focused.
