[quote=Anonymous]Watch Cook's Illustrated on TV--America's Test Kitchen. Taste as you go. Fat and salt do wonders for taste, but ultimately it's the quality of the ingredients that will make or break a dish. Understand heat (temperature). This is why chicken will dry out. You can make great, juicy chicken breasts by marinating, cooking on medium high just to brown the breasts (use enough olive oil and/or butter), reducing the heat to low, and covering the dish for 10-12 minutes so that the breasts "steam". Don't overcrowd the pan. Can you pinpoint what it is exactly about your cooking that makes it less than satisfying? It's hard to help someone who can't be more specific about their cooking technique.
