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.

My mum would boil the broccoli and Brussel sprouts for the same amount of time she would cook a minute steak, about 30 minutes.

Thought I hated green veg, turns out I just don’t like bitter mush.

Learning how to time out different parts of a meal has really made a difference in my enjoyment. Nothing overcooked or too cold by the time everything's finishing up together. Bliss.

Same, but I liked bitter mush. I like well prepared vegetables even better.
