No coming back

Things that actually went wrong over 20 years in a kitchen.

• If the heat is too low, it weeps water and turns soggy.

You can fix this

If it hasn't burned or stuck to the pan, it can still be fixed.

• If the sauce is too salty, stretch it with stock and bring the body back with a little starch slurry.
