So we wanted to create this little section in our recipes that might provide some guidance around common cooking mishaps.

And please take a look at our exclusive section of Simple, Easy, and Quick, or SEQ, recipes. These are a compilation of recipes that require no more than 5 ingredients, 5 steps, or 5 minutes to prepare.

Nail these, and you’ll have the means to create a wide variety of satisfying fare.

Happy Eating!
