      Four French cooking terms that upped my game was…

      1. Mise en place. Everything in its place and prepped before cooking.

      2. Mirepoix. 2part onion to 1part celery and 1part carrot and a little salt to draw out moisture.

      3. Fond. the baked on bits bits of food that you deglaze using a liquid like stock to make…

      4. Sauces mères or Mother sauce. 5 famous French sauces.

      Demi-glas gets an honorable mention and is one of the simplest things you can do to make a dish seem fancy as fuck. Great for date night beef short ribs.
