How many times have you heard someone say they�ve slaved away in the kitchen all day? Stress in the kitchen can easily arise for a variety of reasons, especially when you�re strapped for time and have a never-ending to-do list.


As a survivor of Gordon Ramsay�s MasterChef competition, Caitlin Meade � a Top 4 Finalist on Season 8 � understands the pressure all too well. To decrease the stress and make your hosting experience more enjoyable, consider putting these tips from Holistic Nutritionist, Chef Meade into practice.



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.
