Cold Storage Times at a Glance

Prepped leafy greens: 3–5 days. Cut root vegetables: 5–7 days. Cooked grains: 5 days. Raw portioned proteins: 1–2 days. Cooked proteins: 3–4 days. Sauces and dressings: 5–7 days. Always label with date.

The 10-Minute Weekly Reset

Every Sunday evening, take 10 minutes to review the refrigerator, discard anything past its date, wipe down shelves, and make a quick note of what needs to be used first in the coming week. This prevents waste and informs your prep session.

Flavor Layering Principle

Season at every stage: when cooking aromatics, when adding proteins, when introducing liquids, and at final seasoning. Each stage builds depth. The final season is a correction, not the primary flavoring event.

The Mise en Place Ritual

Before any cooking session, set out and measure every ingredient. Arrange in the order of use. Put away packaging and wrappers before heating anything. A clear counter creates a clear mind — and better cooking decisions.
