"MISE EN PLACE! literally saves so much time and potential ruined dishes.
chop, dice, smash, portion, etc everything BEFORE you start cooking. it will change your life"
I think you got downvoted because you were not polite.
Not because what you tried to say is untrue.
I’m an American and I guarantee I’m a better cook than you.
For what it's worth an american just won a worldwide chef contest on Netflix consisting of the best chefs in the world.
I should point out that he was classically trained in French cuisine.
