Asked at Crazy Horse Restaurant in Monterey.

A: Never overcook. Then you lose all the freshness, flavor, and nutrients.
Tomato Head: Vine-ripe tomatoes and basil. I love them.
JUAN SALAZAR | Chef | Monterey
A: You should cook with the freshest vegetables possible. After less than a week they have already lost a lot of their flavor. Don’t let them sit around, cook with them.
Wise Sage: I love thyme and sage. They give just about anything more flavor.
LIZ DUNBAR | General Manager| Salinas
A: My best-kept cooking secret is a magazine called Cuisine at Home. It helps you recreate gourmet chef classics right at your house. It’s excellent, I don’t cook with out it.
Ginger Snap: Ginger. It’s so versatile. It’s spicy, sweet and healthy. There’s nothing like it.
