Every aspect of Atlanta-based chef and cookbook author Marvin Woods shows the energy and style he brings to his cooking. Chef Woods, who cooks with natural gas because it really lets the flavor of the food come through, says he is on a mission to bring healthy foods and recipes to lovers of Southern cooking.
Take a look at more valuable cooking tips from Chef Marvin Woods:
- Buy organic foods produced without additives, artificial fertilizers or pesticides. Not only is the food higher quality, it’s better for you.
- Use pure ingredients like Kosher or Sea salt as opposed to standard table salt for better flavor.
- For fluffier rice and potatoes, steam out extra moisture after draining water.
- Plan meals in advance. This allows time to marinate meat, ensure you have the right ingredients, and ultimately makes your meal more complete.
- Let meat rest – as it continues to cook even after it is removed from heat.
- Stay organized in the kitchen to ensure you will have the proper utensils and ingredients precisely when you need them.
