saw this on a vegan life hack Instagram reel and it truly changed my life. cook your mushrooms in a hot, dry pan pressing them down to release most of the moisture before adding oil. youll get to a point where the mushrooms start releasing a bunch of liquid at once; this is the time to add the salt. this gives them such a good texture. Mushrooms are also very difficult to burn so don’t be afraid of heat 🔥🔥🔥

- you should use more fat than you think you need
When you go to a restaurant, a majority of foods you order (meat/vegetables/starchy sides) have maybe twice or triple the amount of butter/oil that is required of any conventional recipe
It is no surprise that fat tastes good - don’t be scared of using it - go Mediterranean mode on the amount of oil or fat you use! Opt for quality grass fed butter if you can splurge or high quality oils (olive or avocado oil is my go to, Graza is a great everyday olive oil)
- you should incorporate heterogeneity and a range of texture
Sometimes food can taste blah if you have been preparing it the same way over and over again. If you’re used to chopping carrots or potatoes into slices or thick chunks, cut it on a bias (diagonally) to improve the texture and make the dish more exciting
- salt acid fat heat theory still stands
Balance is everything
- finally, cook to context
Think about how you should adjust the recipe: what ingredients do you have? what culture of cuisine is it? how can you improve each aspect of each step in a recipe depending on the ingredient?

Learning something new (especially but not only languages or skills) takes a lot of time and focus. Be patient and open! I often get a feeling of instant panic or frustration when I approach something new that seems too confusing. But stick with it, and things will start coming together! This is important not only for approaching external things, but also for working through your own ideas. This is my grad school affirmation I have to tell myself every time I open my laptop 😱
