Season to Taste

What does "season to taste" really mean at the end of a recipe?
 
Salt can turn a bland dish into a delicious one!
 
You do not add salt to make the dish "more salty", but instead salt acts to
 
1.) Reduce bitterness
 
2.) Enhance the other flavors present in the dish
 
I encourage you to taste your food before you take it to the table. 
 

This last step will definitely improve your finished product.
 
What salt do I use? you ask...
 
For this finishing step, I recommend Kosher salt. Start with a "three finger" pinch of salt added to your dish and then taste it. This adds about 1/2 TSP. And remember, salt enhances flavor, while pepper changes the flavor. So add additional pepper sparingly.
