Hard-won tip from mixing a half-dozen seasons of cooking shows:

Presentation matters. You eat with your eyes first and it sets your anchor for food expectations. This is literally dog food with parsley.

Wipe the bowl, spoon it carefully, and you can even like drizzle a little chili oil or something on it and it will not only look better, it'll actually taste better.

Now you know why fancy restaurants serve their soup in a bowl on a plate on a charger on a white placemat.

Probably, but meh. The fact that we're cooking at all these days is a marvel of coordination and time management.

Talkin' 15 extra seconds, hoss. Trust me, it's worth it.

This is the sole reason I got an Instagram.
