How do i minimize too much garlic in my spaghetti sauce?
Read more >>Dear Mindy,
If you want less garlic flavor, try putting the garlic in with the onions at the beginning of the sauce with the olive oil. If you want a bigger garlic taste, add 3 or 4 cloves of garlic chopped 10 minutes before it is done.

Help, I accidentally tripled the amount of chipotle peppers in a barbecue sauce. Adding extra of the other ingredients didn’t work. How do I reduce the heat so that it’s edible?

I agree, I made spaghetti sauce too hot and I am also having some success with a little more sugar and some water.
I made some delicious chili, but the peppers are too spicy for our puny taste buds! I used Anaheim chilis (4), but we’re wienies. Can I add something to tame the flame?

I made a beef stew following a recipe a friend gave me and i used about half a dried bay leaf and the flavor is too strong for my family’s taste - help!!!!!!!

The only way to reduce the strength of the bay is to dilute the stew with more broth, although the flavor should mellow somewhat overnight.
