Organization Tips ***************** : Here are a few other suggestions that will help you better organizae yourself for all of your cooking and baking.

. Know the specific requirements of the item or items you are to : prepare. Are there special ingredients needed? Is the butter to be : cold, room temperature or melted? Are the nuts blanched, sliced, : slivered or chopped? Should the oven be preheated? To what : temperature? Is extra time required for chilling or heating the : ingredients? Is it necessary to wait before serving?

. Pay close attention to what you are doing while you work, giving : special consideration to every detail, especially with new recipes : or unfamiliar techniques. Allow yourself plenty of time to finish : a recipe, including the final decoration.

. Always begin by preparing the baking pans, adjusting the oven : shelves, and preheating the oven to the required temperature. Then : when the mixture is ready for the oven there will be no delay : before baking. This is especially important with cakes, which may : deflate and lose their lightness, with pie crusts, which may : collapse, and with puff pastry, which will not rise if the oven : temperature is not hot enough.

. Avoid opening the oven door during the early baking stage. Other : than with small cookies, which you can peek at after 5 minutes, : generally you should wait at least 15 to 20 minutes, or until : approximately half the baking time has elapsed before opening the : door.

. Don't work against yourself by being a pot-saver in order to save : clean-up time. Use all of the pots, pans, bowls, spoons, spatulas, : equipment and towels that you need to get the job done. But : cleanup after yourself frequently to avoid confusion.

And, most of all, enjoy yourself. Put your heart into everything you make, infuse it with love, and you will be transformed in the process, as will be everyone who works by your side or eats the food you prepare.
