Make use of the expertise of the people in the stores where you get your groceries. The butcher knows best which cut to use for a certain dish. The fishmonger will gladly clean or fillet your red snapper, and the produce manager will no doubt be able to order those heirloom greens you need. Often he will be able to source vegetables he doesn’t normally carry in his store if you ask him to. This will make your life easier.
