"The other thing I learned was, and I've been cooking for hundreds of years, that if you have garlic and onions on your fingertips, if you dip your hands in salt and then rinse them in cool water, the smell goes right away."
Meryl Streep in the August 2009 issue of Ladies' Home Journal when asked what tips she learned on the set of Julie & Julia.
Much obliged Meryl. As one who often cooks with garlic and sometimes with onions, I'm left with that smell on my finger for days despite soap and a good scrub. I can't wait to put this tip to the test. Or see Meryl's new movie.
