Frequently Asked Questions

What is the healthiest way to eat fish?

Steaming, poaching or baking is the healthiest way to eat fish. All of these methods none to very little oil, while keeping the nutrients intact to a great extent.

Is frozen or fresh fish better for cooking?

I personally prefer frozen fish as I don’t live near a coast and frozen fish is better in terms of retaining their nutrients. Both frozen and fish work really well in most fish recipes. And what to use totally depends on your preference and availability.

If you try any of these recipes, be tag me in your stories or DM me pictures over on my IG @my_foodstory.

How to Clean Mushrooms

Use right away: Clean them just before cooking to keep their texture and flavor at their best.

Do not soak mushrooms or rinse them under running water. Mushrooms act like sponges and tend to get soggy really fast when exposed to too much water.

Wipe off dirt gently: Use a dry paper towel or a soft brush to wipe away any visible dirt from each mushroom.

Trim the ends: Slice off the very end of the stem if it looks dry or muddy.

Quick rinse only if needed: If they’re especially dirty, give them a very quick rinse under water and immediately pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
