Introducing - Prep Steps!

As I've spent more and more time cooking for my family, I've discovered that most of my time is spent on prep work. Actually cooking the meal? That's easy! It's the prep that takes the time. That's why all those TV chefs make everything look so effortless and "dinner in under 10 minutes" and all of that. They have everything cleaned, chopped, pre-measured and ready to throw in the pan!

I've started a category here at DBITK called "Prep Steps" - and hopefully the posts in that folder will help you think about the ways you can capitalize on the amount of time you spend in the kitchen actually preparing a meal. The more steps you have completed ahead of time, the more enjoyable cooking could be, would you agree? It also means more time to spend doing other things you love.

If you've thought about subscribing to DBITK, now's a good time. Learn to be a happier chef and let Prep Steps be a new habit for 2012!
