A favorite food stylist once gave this piece of advice to budding assistants:
"Always do three things for just about every shoot. Buy some lemons; they can always be used as an antioxidant to prevent browning or to create a garnish. Put a big pot of water on to boil; to blanch vegetables or cook pasta or grains. And be sure to have ice on hand; an ice bath stops the cooking of blanched veggies or can quickly cool a sauce. Or some crushed ice is great placed in a baking pan or pie plate, then used as a base for a bowl or another pie plate of shredded cheese or lettuce that you might need to keep cool next to the set." And you know, at least one of these suggestions can be used on almost every shoot!
