If salad dressing curdles add a little cold water and stir quickly. Ground tea yields more flavor when crushed just before pouring boiling water. Veal with onion and carrot improves flavor. Steak gains a distinct flavor if left overnight in oil and vinegar then wiped lightly before broiling. Whipped cream improves split pea soup by adding it as soup is poured.
