Foodie Language

mise en place [MEEZ ahn plahs] A French term referring to having all the ingredients necessary for a dish prepared and ready to combine up to the point of cooking.

Before you head over to the stove, make sure your mise en place is ready to go so your dish will come together smoothly. Otherwise you might burn something while you are retrieving a forgotten ingredient at the last minute.
