The chef should definitely use less space-salt in the cosmic soup.

Use less for uncountable nouns (like salt, water, or time) and fewer for countable nouns (like apples or coins).

However, a surprising number of guests actually enjoyed the glowing green bread.

Use number for things you can count (guests) and amount for things you cannot count.

I found a plastic toy spaceship hidden among the many lettuce leaves in my salad.

Use among when referring to a group of three or more things. Use between when referring to exactly two distinct things.

I placed my napkin right beside my plate and refused to eat another bite!

Beside means "next to." Besides with an "s" means "in addition to" or "apart from." (Note: next would require the preposition "to" to work here).
