7 Tips for Simple Cooking
“1. Always choose quality ingredients. When your ingredients are good, there’s no need to muddle the flavor with unnecessary add-ons.
2. Grocery shop with an open mind. Choose ingredients before you settle on a recipe.
3. Let the seasons decide what to cook.
4. Be amazed at what one ingredient can do.
5. Play with a small supporting cast of ingredients that make your main star shine. You can come up with 50 different ways to cook one thing just by changing the secondary ingredients.
6. Technique is important. Like bitter garlic? Fry it. Want that pungent, intense flavor? Sauté it. Prefer it sweet and melt-in-your-mouth? Roast it. Employ different cooking methods for the same ingredient to unlock its varying flavors.
7. Focus on simplicity and the fun will follow.”
