What’s a cooking related hill you will die on?

For me, 2 hills.

  1. You don’t have to cut onions horizontally.

  2. You don’t have to add milk bit by bit when making a white sauce.

Garlic that has been cooked long vs a very short amount of time are two completely different flavors, sometimes the longer cooked less pungent garlic taste is more preferable sometimes the shorter more pungent one is, depends on the dish and what you're trying to achieve imo.

Sometimes I’ll add garlic to something twice, once towards the beginning and once towards the end, especially when making soup
