Their recipes, homemade and delicious, are chosen with certain clearly defined goals — to make the main treat more filling, or on the contrary to lower its calorie count, add a bit of tang, or dilute a taste that's too spicy.
These dishes include vegetables, grains, and pasta. Sauces are also considered a side dish, since their function fits the definition.
Mashed potatoes, mushroom gravies, pâtés, stewed vegetables, and fresh salads all serve successfully as universal additions to protein foods. You can pair them with chicken or pork, with pike perch and salmon, and with shrimp and squid.
They're served equally on the same plate, shared with the base food, and separately in different dishes. In the latter case, everyone can choose the amount of side dish (and whether to have any at all).
When you set out to cook, take care that all the ingredients of your lunch or dinner go together. This greatly affects how much your family enjoys the meal.
There's a concept of a garnish topping. It's an addition to the side dish. There's less of it, but it's just as important — in taste, aroma, and appearance. It creates a feeling of abundance and variety on the plate.
Start with universal, tried-and-true homemade recipes with step-by-step photos, move on to more complex ones and get creative, and your dishes will get better and better from breakfast to lunch, from summer to autumn.
