We asked a few of our creators what they'd tell their younger selves in the kitchen. Here's what they said 👇

- Season and taste as you go, because if you wait till the very end you'll only find out then that it needed more salt. And tasting the whole way through is how you actually learn what a dish needs, whether that's more salt or a bit of acid or a little sweetness to balance it out 😋

- Get everything out before you start cooking, all your ingredients and your utensils. Because the whole thing feels so much calmer when you're not running around looking for stuff halfway through, and it makes the cleaning up so much easier too😉
dietitians.dinner - Pick a recipe with ten ingredients or less and measure everything out before you even turn the stove on. Once it's a simple recipe and it's all ready to go, cooking suddenly stops feeling like this big stressful thing 🫩
calendar - Get your basics right first, so learn how heat works and get to know your seasonings and have a picture in your head of what you're making. It also really helps if you actually want to cook, because if you're being forced into it you'll hate every second and nothing about it will feel worth it 😵

Save this for the next time you're in the kitchen, and tell us in the comments, what's one thing you wish you knew when you started cooking?

A few Oreo recipes even Ava's mom would approve of. We think 🫣

• Oreo Baked Oats ( ) - dessert pretending to be breakfast. Chocolatey baked oats with crushed Oreo through it and a gooey chocolate middle. Basically breakfast, so she can't say anything.

• Oreo Tiramisu ( ) - Oreos soaked soft and layered with a creamy yoghurt mix and a cocoa top. Looks fancy, takes 15 minutes.

• Oreo Brownie Cookie Bar ( ) - cookie dough on the bottom, a full layer of Oreos in the middle, brownie on top, fudge over everything. Okay, this one she might have questions about.

• High Protein Oreos ( ) - creamy Greek yoghurt, crushed Oreo, chocolate ganache on top. Actual protein in there, so genuinely Michelle-approved.

• High Protein Oreo Chocolate Cake ( ) - a warm little chocolate cake with a melty middle and an Oreo on top, with enough protein that it counts as sensible. Sort of.

Good news, your food is probably fine. It's the way you're plating it that's letting it down 😅
A few things that actually make a difference:

• Wipe the edges of the plate before it goes out. Smeared rims make even good food look messy.

• Put something fresh on top right at the end. Some herbs, a bit of lemon, anything with a bit of colour. It changes the whole thing.

• Don't pile it all on. A little empty space on the plate makes it look like you meant to do that.

• And please stop shooting under your kitchen light. Move next to a window. Daylight does half the work for you.

That's really it 😉

Reheating rice sounds like the simplest thing in the world, but most people do it in a way that either dries it out or, honestly, isn't the safest 🫠
Here's how to actually do it right.

• First, the important bit. Cooked rice can't sit out for long. If it's been at room temperature for more than an hour or two, it's not worth the risk, so cool your leftover rice fast and get it in the fridge within an hour of cooking.
That's the part that actually matters for your health, not just the taste.

• When you're ready to reheat, add a splash of water. Rice dries out because it loses moisture in the fridge, so a tablespoon or two of water per portion brings it right back to life.
Cover it while it heats so the steam does the work.
Heat it all the way through, until it's properly hot, not just warm. Give it a stir halfway so it heats evenly. Rice should only be reheated once, so only warm up what you're actually going to eat.

• And if it's straight from the fridge, the microwave with a damp paper towel over the bowl is genuinely the easiest way. Two minutes, stir, done.

Do it this way and your leftover rice tastes freshly cooked, and it's safe too!

Some dishes taste flat and you can't figure out why. Nine times out of ten, it's missing one of these.

Three cheap things that instantly make food taste like you actually know what you're doing 😋

• Acid. This is the big one. If something tastes boring, it's usually not missing salt, it's missing a squeeze of lemon or a splash of vinegar. Acid wakes everything up. Add a little at the end of almost anything, a curry, a soup, a stir fry, and taste the difference straight away.

• Something sweet. Just a pinch. A little sugar, honey, or even a grated carrot balances out anything too sour or too salty, and it rounds out tomato-based dishes especially. You won't taste "sweet," you'll just taste better.

• Something with depth. This is the savoury, moreish hit that makes food feel rich. Soy sauce, a bit of miso, tomato paste, or even a splash of fish sauce. A small spoon stirred in gives your food that "why does this taste so good" quality that's hard to put your finger on.

The trick with all three is to add slowly and taste as you go. A good dish is usually just balancing salt, acid, sweet, and depth until it clicks.

Nusieba (Bynusieba Kitchen ) taught herself to cook the hard way. As a kid her mum kept shooing her out of the kitchen, so her dad let her cook alongside him instead with just whatever he had. That stuck with her.

During lockdown she started filming her cooking, biryani pots and butter chicken at first, and slowly found the thing she really cared about: Libyan food, one of the most underrated cuisines out there.

Now people message her about dishes they grew up on but can't quite name, and she cooks until she works them out, so they don't get lost. Six years in, she's still going.
