At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!

How To Roast Broccoli
Roasting broccoli is incredibly simple – you just need to trim and clean your broccoli, toss in seasonings, butter, or oil – and cook in the oven.
When roasting broccoli, you help to reduce the bitterness, and bring out a nutty, earthy flavor – without making broccoli soft and mushy.
