'That ingredient on my counter that you said 'eeeewwwwww' to gets added to far more dishes than you'd think.'
We all have our fair share of secrets, and if you like to cook, chances are you have a few"I'll never tell" tricks you rely upon in the kitchen. So, redditor"I worked at a family Italian restaurant long ago, and they had a mac and cheese on the menu for kids. But people liked it so much they were ordering off the kid's menu, subbing it in as a side, etc. So they just went ahead and put a 'baked' version on the main menu and sold it for about triple the price.
"I use smoked cheese in place of bacon in my pasta. I'm vegetarian, but my husband isn't. He asks me if I've added bacon when all I use is smoked Gouda." "I used to work at a fancy white tablecloth restaurant that charged $16 for a bowl of soup. Guests would brag about how our soup of the day was always the most incredible and that our chef was some kind of soup genius. It was always some variant of Campbell's with some herbs and spices thrown into it. Throw some dried fennel and cream in some Campbell's tomato soup, and people will lose their minds.
"My coconut lime cupcakes are a staple at summer parties, and they're one of my most frequently requested desserts. I'm typically an 'everything from scratch' type of cook, but these cupcakes are just boxed vanilla cake mix; I only use fresh lime juice in place of the water. I do make the coconut frosting myself, though.
"When I make a boxed mix, I use half oil and half butter. The oil makes a moister cake, and the butter imparts a better flavor. I also add two tablespoons of whole milk powder. Together, it's like MSG for sweets." "My mom made cheesecake for a cookout once that everyone absolutely raved about. When someone asked for the recipe, she told them it was a family secret. Except it wasn’t. It was a tub of Philadelphia cheesecake filling and a store-bought crust she hid in a nice pie pan."
