6 Essential Tips For Making Food Ahead of Time

Not every meal has to be piping hot. And if you can pick a dish that doesn't need to be hot then you save yourself the potential headache of reheating. A lot of meats, fish and pastas do just as well when served at room temperature. The key is to make sure the dish has enough flavor to counterbalance the lack of heat. This anchovy pistachio pasta from Bring It! is a perfect example — the sauce is as quick as a pesto but the flavor is so exciting that no one will care whether you serve it hot or cold.
