  Chef’s Tip: A lot of things are playing out when we eat our food: smells, textures, flavors, and even temperature. You might ask why I didn’t cook the tomato slice with the sandwich, and the answer is that I wanted layers of flavor, and layers of temperature. Things as simple as varying the temperature of your combined ingredients, can make or break a recipe.
