VEGETABLES

Carrots are easier to peel if they are briefly blanched in boiling water.

A drop of lemon/lime juice will stop the browning (caused by oxidation) of vegetables or fruit.

Lettuce should never be cut, but torn instead.

Cook vegetables quickly and in a closed pot with only 5cm or so of water. Taste an color are better this way.

Before you peel your onion heat it up in the microwave for one minute. No tears, I guarantee.
