There are many things that professional chefs do in the kitchen to create amazing plates of food, but one of the most important is tasting. Chefs taste everything they create multiple times before any restaurant patron even receives their dish. To cook like a chef don’t just taste your food before serving, taste it at every step! Each ingredient you add will alter the flavor and feel of the dish so you need to constantly adjust the seasoning to maintain a balance between sweet, salty, sour, and bitter.
