"Soaking up Flavor" Chef's Tip of the Week

The next time you cook PASTA or RICE my tip to you today is to consider adding Chicken or Vegetable (Veggie) Stock to the water in which you are cooking. The pasta or rice will soak up the flavor of the stock, rather than just the water (which most people agree does not have much flavor!).
Commercial bases may be found at the wholesale stores (Sam's, BJ's) or one may find vegetable or chicken bouillon cubes in the food market. Or, of course, you can make your OWN stock.
Hope this easy tip makes you next meal even better!

A beautiful day in the Lakes Region today. Hope wherever you are it's just as nice.

Your Innkeeper,
