Over Christmas my mother whipped up an apple pie in a matter of minutes. Well… she whipped up the filling and had the pie assembled and ready to go into the oven in minutes. She used fresh apples and canned apples. She also used store bought piecrust and when I questioned her on this she said to me… “Michael, I make ten different cookies, ravioli and so many other foods during the holidays that I do not have time for making homemade pie crust. Store bought is fine and to be honest, nobody recognizes the difference.” Some insightful wisdom from a woman whom I totally respect when it comes to food. The moral of this story… Watch your mom (or anyone else that cooks) while she is cooking in the kitchen. You will learn lots of tips, tricks, shortcuts and so many more things that you never even knew. Most importantly apply those learnings. Your skill set will SOAR!
