Shortcuts worth knowing
How to order
The same dish changes name from city to city. Asking about an unfamiliar name is the shortest route.
Pick the good one
Separate grains in pilaf come from washing and resting the rice, not from extra butter.
Common myth
Tighter is not better in stuffed leaves; rice swells, and an over-tight roll bursts as it cooks.
