- Tomato paste: Add it in a stew only at the end, otherwise the meat will become dry shopping list
- Coffee: add a piece of chocolate in it when making coffee for an outstanding taste shopping list
- Coffee: good quality coffee has a deep color, similar to the tobacco, if it is too shiny, it means it has been covered in oil, in order to weigh more shopping list
- Meat: if you want to know if a piece of meat has been previously frozen, check if it has a lot of blood on it, if it doesn't - it is fresh shopping list
- Meat: dry meat - leave the stakes a few minutes in water, soda bicarbonate and white vinegar - it will tenderize it shopping list
- Meat: do not put paprika directly on the meat before you BBQ - it will turn bitter, just add it at the end shopping list
- Meat - Dredge meat through olive oil - it will make it softer shopping list
- Meat - Leave the meat a few minutes in rakia ( shlibovitz) in order to tenderize it - Yeah, I like this one! shopping list

How to make it
- Lamb - in order to take out the smell (if you don't like it) , keep the meat in hot milk. Let it in for 1 hour.
- Chicken - if you want to have a crispy roast, keep braising it with beer (this is what I am talking about! - Grandma really knows everything)
- Potatoes - if you want to clean easier the peel from boiled potatoes, put them quickly through cold water
- Strawberries - Do not remove the top before washing them, only after, or all the vitamins and a lot of juices will be lost in the water
- Onion - you will not cry when cutting the onion, if you light a candle next to it (haha - probably a scented one!)
- Salt - if you have dropped to much salt in a stew or soup you can repair it, by adding a few slices of raw potato. You can discard it once the food is ready
- Cauliflower - if you want to keep it white , add a little milk when you cook it
- Whipped Cream - will harden up if you put a few drops of lemon juice
- Milk - do not boil it more than 3 minutes - you will destroy the vitamins in it
- Sour milk - you can obtain it by adding a little lemon juice to regular milk and leave it for a day in your refrigerator
- Lemons - dip them quickly in boiling water - you will get more juice out of them
- Peas - if you want to keep their green color, add a little sugar or soda bicarbonate in the water that you are boiling them in
- Olives - will keep longer if you add a slice of lemon in the container
- Onion smell - comes out fast from your hands if you wash them with toothpaste
- Fish smell - comes out if you wash your hands with leftover coffee grounds
- Omlettes - if you want to fill them up, do not fold them while on the stove, let them on the side for 2 min and fold
