Being an only child,<\/strong> my mom has always been much more than just a mom to me. She’s also my best friend. Sure, there were plenty of times when\u2014as a parent\u2014she dropped the iron hammer, but we’ve always had a closeness that was more like friendship.<\/p>\n

Growing up she obviously taught me a lot of very important things: work hard, make good choices, and don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. But when it comes to cooking, the most important thing she instilled in me was small: Keep an organized work station, and clean up as you go.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Naturally, I hated this as a kid\u2014who wants to waste time wiping down the counter or washing prep bowls in between licks of cake batter off the spoon? Couldn’t everything wait until after<\/em> we were done? No, my mom insisted. This was the way professional chefs worked. And it turns out she couldn’t be more right.<\/p>\n

So when I finally started living on my own in college (albeit with roommates), when I cooked, I couldn’t help but make sure every part of the recipe had been prepped, wash the dishes as I went, or wipe down spills and splatters as they happened. I’m a much more organized, prepared home cook as a result\u2014not to mention, by the time I’m ready to eat, it’s nice to know that most of the cleanup has already been taken care of.<\/p>\n

Of course, my mom’s not the only one with advice to spare. So in honor of Mother’s Day, I asked Food52<\/a> and Schoolhouse<\/a> team members to share the best cooking tips they’ve picked up from their moms. From game-changing ingredient swaps to timeless kitchen wisdom, here are the very best tricks and techniques we’ve picked up:<\/p>\n
