Question:

Can you share some holiday meal preparation tips?

Answer:

My tip today is, uh, to prepare a list to guide your mis and PLAs in your cooking process. And let me give you an example. Uh, this is, uh, a list that I, I've prepared here and, uh, this is what I would do and I would put together, um, you know, appetizers, main items, and then a, a sweet item just in the order of the menu that, uh, I'm preparing. And, uh, as you can see, uh, there'll, there are some things like soaking a beans that can be done ahead of time. And so go ahead and check those off your list. Uh, perhaps it's cooking of potatoes. Again, things that can be done hours or even a, a day or two, uh, ahead of time depending on what you're making. Um, I also include, uh, sometimes what time to put something in the oven so that I don't have to think about it i's just, it's in front of me and I can do it very quickly. And, uh, in this way, this sort of a list will guide you and will act as a communication tool, uh, for anyone that's helping you in the kitchen. At a glance, they'll know what has not been started, what's in progress, and what has been completed. Enjoy.
