The first of the mistakes you make with food is not paying attention to the recipe. When you are preparing a dish for the first time it is important that you stop a bit to understand the whole process.

With this care you will avoid:
- The proteins lose properties.
- Add more salt of the correct one.
- Pastes with pasty texture.
Ideally, after reading the recipe, prepare all the food in the necessary portions and presentations. This implies:
- Cut and chop food as required.
