Prep Before You Begin
Practice the �mise en place� method � a French term alluding to "having everything in place" before cooking. Measure ingredients, chop vegetables and prepare utensils to create a steady workflow.
Plan in Advance � Like a Chef
Prep the main dish the night before, have easy appetizers assembled ahead of guests� arrival and outsource sides to family and friends.
