From the kitchen

A few little things Roma's learned

📖

Read the recipe twice

Once for ingredients, once for technique. Halfway through is the wrong time to discover you needed to chill the dough overnight.

🧈

Avoid bubbles in your baked goods

When baking, always gently tap the pan on a flat surface a few times to remove air bubbles and help even out the batter.

🧻

Pat things dry

Wet chicken steams instead of crisping. Wet vegetables turn soggy. Paper towels are an underrated kitchen tool.

👅

Taste as you go

Adjust salt, acid, and seasoning before serving. The dish that needs a squeeze of lemon at the end is almost every dish.

🍳

Embrace the sheet pan

Most things roast better in a single layer with room to breathe. Crowding traps steam and you lose the caramelization.

🌡️

Buy a good thermometer

Stop guessing. An instant-read thermometer takes the anxiety out of chicken, steak, baked custards, and bread.
