Roasted chicken or simple caesar salad

Even if a recipe includes an amount of salt (baking is the exception), I will add pinch by pinch and taste it a lot so it ends up exactly how I like it. When I first started cooking, I almost always under-salted everything, but with practice I figured out how much to add.
I think learning to taste the food your cooking is an incredibly important part of becoming a better cook.

I make Royal Icing, pipe a line around the edge of the cookie and let it dry. Then thin the icing with a tiny bit of water so it spreads really easily. Once that's dry, you can decorate on top of it. I did all the cookie favors for my wedding that way!

Grilled and slathered with butter!
