Were definitely taking notes!
So when the chef is willing to give any cooking advice, were always prepared to listen.
Heres what she has to say.

Salt is the biggest one.
Everyone kind of gets into that mistake, Bastianich says.
Adding too much salt, or not adding salt.
Even if youre perfectly following a recipe, everyones taste buds are different.
Shaking in too much salt while cooking happens to everyone, but it could ruin your dish.
Fortunately, Bastianich has some advice to combat this common mistake.
And you put it right next to [you] when youre cooking.
Thats the amount suggested by the recipe.
Always leave a little bit of salt [in the bowl], and thats for the correction purposes.
You taste, and if you have enough, you stop.
A bowl of salt shows an exact amount youre using instead of having the saltshaker by your side.
We definitely agree with Bastianich here.
