Cooking Tips

Post 1 - Tips 1 to 4

Tip 1 – Instead of just using salt and pepper to season eggs here is a list of herbs, you may like - basil, bay leaves, marjoram, rosemary, sage, savory, tarragon, or thyme.

Tip 2 – Here is a list of herbs to season breads. They add a wonderful taste to breads. Basil, coriander, dill, fennel, marjoram, parsley, savory, or thyme.

Tip 3 – Here is a list of herbs that can be used to season soups and will give soups a zesty tasty flavor.  Basil, bay leaves, chervil, chives, coriander, dill, marjoram, parsley, sage, savory, sweet Cicely, tarragon, or thyme.

Tip 4 – Soups

If you want a different taste to your soup flavor just add wine.

Wine will enhance the flavor of many soups.  Match the wine with the soup, a mild wine for delicate poultry and fish soups, a full-bodied red wine for hearty soups.

A general rule is to use about ¼ - ½ cup wine per quart of soup.

If you add wine to your soup, then reduce the amount of salt because the wine brings out more of a salty taste. Do not boil soup after adding wine.
