My voracious appetite for cooking is eating into most of my weekends these days. Some of my chef-in-the-making mantras,…
Keep it fresh and natural; the less processed the better. Stop being so lazy. Use real garlic and real tomatos instead of paste or puree from a can. The flavour is so much better. And don’t drown the food in oil. Greasy food makes my skin prickle..
More foods updates soon.
“appetite for cooking is eating….”
Fresh bread made from fresh-ground whole wheat is a completely different product than store-bought white bread. It’s a shame the kids won’t eat it, or else I’d make it more often.
Also, olive oil tastes better and is better for you than vegetable oil or canola oil or animal fats. It costs more, but I think is worth it.
But I can’t see myself using wholly fresh ingredients. Maybe if I had the time… but I have to be practical.
Canned tomato paste, sauce, diced tomatoes, etc., really aren’t that noticably different (except for when you can get fresh Marietta tomatoes in the summer).
