## Tips

- When starting to cook, buy pre-cut vegetables if easier.
- Practice knife skills over time.
- Don't overthink mincing garlic; use a microplane, garlic press, or box grater.
- If using bulk or loose sausage, it means it's not in the casing; otherwise, pull sausage out of casings.
- Season food as you go, not just at the end.
- Add minced garlic after onions and peppers, or separately to control burning.
- If stock is unavailable, use water.
- Always taste everything and adjust seasoning.
- Use fresh herbs at the end to finish a dish.
