  1. Ms. Lam is the best cooking instructor today! She works so much better alone and doesn't need a sidekick. Please tell the makeup department you don't need a ton of makeup like the other women on ATK; you're in the kitchen and not on the red-carpet (where you deserve to be as well). I noticed that when you're on-screen alone, the makeup is so understated vs when you're with one of your sidekicks.

  2. Every working cook keeps a large pot of boiling water on the stove, with a big ladle, so he doesn't have to heat up water when he needs it. It's also good in emergencies, such as when one of your customers is suddenly giving birth.

  3. Tried the massaged cabbage tonight. Shocked to learn my wife actually likes it. After dunking the cabbage in water to remove the excess salt I used a salad spinner to remove more of the leftover water.

  4. I grew up in a time when veges weren't cooked until they were soft. Sadly, I still prefer them that way. It may be that grocery store veges are so bland anymore that tender crisp has barely any flavor & soft gets them down fast.

  5. For those with kidney issues or hypertension, leave out all that salt. If you're watching your LDL cholesterol and ApoB levels, swap the butter for EVOO. Just as tasty and much healthier.
