Cooking is all about passion and love for food
Who does not like food, does not like cooking. Who does not have a healthy relationship with food, does not have a healthy relationship with cooking. This is the basis that everyone should stick to. And not liking food doesn\’t mean you eat every slop that\’s thrown under you on some dirty plate. But it is a trait where you can appreciate quality, variety, taste and most importantly, again and constantly – quality. Who thinks you can conjure up something incredible even from poor quality ingredients – dream on. There may be cheap quality ingredients, but in most cases it is rather cheap low quality ingredients that form the basis for all our cooking.
The important thing is to learn from the best
Now we\’re not just talking about recipes, but also where to shop, how to shop, how to know what\’s quality and what\’s not. What those abbreviations on the back of the package mean, why choose organic fruits and vegetables, why choose homegrown livestock and poultry over factory farmed. You have to be able to absorb all that before you can call yourself a good cook. Just because you fry onions in butter and then throw in some chicken from Babiš, sprinkle it with salt and pepper and make potatoes to go with it, doesn\’t mean you can cook at Imperial. Just because something takes a lot of work doesn\’t mean it\’s „healthier” or better.
Skip the fryer and other such goodies
Frying, frying – put it all behind you. Use as little oil, butter, fat, lard as possible. It\’s all about not only making the food taste good, but making you feel good afterwards. You\’re not gonna feel good about lángos. Neither will overcooked fries. You won\’t feel good about a burnt goulash. These dishes can be made differently and better, but you need to understand all that. If you\’re going to cook sausages for dinner for the rest of your life, you won\’t be cooking for long.
The key is to feel good
Whether you\’re cooking or preparing it, you should feel completely relaxed and comfortable in your kitchen. will give you some tips on how to do that right away.
