Cooking Tips For Beginner Divas
In this video I will discuss ten helpful cooking tips for those just starting out on their cooking journey. Learning to whip up a li sum su’um in the kitchen is a very rewarding skill that every diva should have! You can find more beginner cooking tips on my blog! divascancook.blogspot.com
Great video!
My cooking tip is:
If you have purchased veggies such as garlic, onion, bell pepper etc…chop and slice them when you bring them home from the grocer. I tend to go ahead and chop some and slice them and bag them into ziplock bags by 1/2 cup portions and place them in the freezer. This way if I need onions, bell peppers or etc…all I have to do is go to freezer and dump get a bag or more.
One more tip:
To save money:
If your recipe calls for strips of poultry , red meat or pork. Buy the boneless breast, pork loin or flank steak. Take it to the grocery butcher (EVERY GROCERY STORE HAS ONE) and get them to slice it to whatever thick/thiness you want. This way you are not paying EXTRA money for pre-sliced meat.
Wow. I don’t know where my other comment went, but I’ll try again. I love this cooking channel and was laughing at the intent way the doggie was looking in the video.
My tip is for beginner cooks to get a basic cookbook (Southern Living Cookbook and Betty Crocker) that gives clear recipes, pictures, instructions how food should look, and substitutes chart. Once the recipes are mastered, one can take the recipe up a notch by adding ingredients and techniques.
You’re awesome!!!
These are GREAT tips you guys!!!!
Oh this is a tip that I just did.
If you have citrus around the house after peeling, slicing or using it instead of tossing in trash — if u have a garbage disposal dump the used citrus in the disposal to help with any funky order with a sprinkle of baking soda.
That is so true. I just dispose limes in the disposal and it made my kitchen smell good.
Great video! Here’s a tip-Let your food cool before putting it into the fridge.

AMEN!!! girl i cant clean unless the kitchen is clean lol my hubby and son always laugh at me and i always clean as I cook so at the end i wont have a billion dishes
That such a cute dog too bad im scared of them lol!! My tip I give to my daughter when cooking is use the internet to you advantage there’is lots of recipe there. I also say try recreating your favorite recipes. you know what you like so if you go some place and like the cake. Start small and make the cake fosting and buy the cake mix then next try making them both from scatch!
Thanks for the tips I’m definitely a beginner xD
I do that too! I was raised that way. Both my Mom & Nana clean as they cook. Can you imagine if you didn’t & had all of those dishes waiting for you to clean after you’re full?!!
girl you are just like me i wouldnt feel comfortable cooking in a unclean kitchen and yes i clean my messes as i am cooking.thanks for the other tips.
Great tips Thanks ^^. I use lemon juice to get onion smell and spices off my fingers. I also use baking soda to clean my produce, and I don’t cook big when I am tired! That I found is very important for a great dish!!!
Thanks
Awesome tips! My tip is to take notes on what you do so that you’ll remember next time. I tried a delicious recipe that called for 48 oz of pasta and that was wayyyyyy too much for us so I changed up the ingredients and wrote my changes down so I’d remember next time!
Oh yeah! Reviewing the recipe is so important because one time I was going to cook something and I had to wait because I needed to marinate something for a long time. Definitely review your recipe!
Great tips!! you covered it all for me. My mom taught me how to cook then I took Home Ec classes and my HE teacher was a stickler about a clean kitchen. I don’t have any other tips but keep a stocked pantry with the basics. I found a basics list in a Martha stewart cookbook that helps me out. things like lemons, limes, spices, flour, sugar, beans, pasta are good to have on hand so you wont be always be running out to get them when trying a new recipe.
i thought i had this on the last video but maybe not but…where did you get your vitamins from whole foods or wal-mart…and on this video: love it and i am a beginner but im going to try somethings and keep you informed…
1:15, omg you are so silly, lol! Thx 4 for givin us newbies sum good tips. Cooking is all this diva needs to perfect then I’m good:) & Thx to all the others for their tips.
I’ve learned the importance of taking note of spices, sauces & kitchen tools I have. I do a simple inventory list, so I know what I have in stock & what I need to buy. It makes getting around the kitchen easier & saves time, IMO. & thx to Monique & all the others for their great tips!
Thanks for the tips! Your dog was looking at you like “why is my mama crazy?….but I still love her.” LOL cute!
LOLL! Yeah I can only imagine what kind of names she has called me in her head. She’s used to my outbursts. lol
