When's the last time you sharpened your kitchen knives? A dull kitchen knife is not only a bad kitchen tool to operate with but it will also pose a risk of injury as compared to a sharpened knife. If you are a home cook you need to know that every chef sharpens their knife before they use it.

Suppose you are making a tomato-based sauce and you added everything but you still do not have the taste you wanted. Guess what you need some sugar. Adding a little sugar to produce like beets, carrots or tomatoes will help you break down the sugar in fruit/vegetables and give you the flavor you wish.

Yes, you are reading it right. If you think your food tastes bland and you do not get the flavors you expected you are just in need of a pinch of salt. Salt is something you can add later even when you have turned off the stove. Just give your food a stir or two and you are ready to serve the perfect dish with the flavors you were expecting.
