Don't be afraid to experiment. These recipes are just a starting point. Feel free to adjust them to your own taste, or to use different ingredients that you have on hand.

Season to taste. This is one of the most important tips in cooking. Always taste your food as you're cooking it, and adjust the seasoning accordingly. You can always add more seasoning, but it's hard to take it away once it's been added.
