Easy ways to make food taste better
Sep. 25th, 2022 06:19 pmLike many people, I don't cook meals from scratch very often. I can! My parents viewed cooking as a basic skill that everyone needs to know, so they both taught me themselves and had me do cooking in 4-H. (4-H is very good at encouraging children to build skill sets in whatever area they're doing projects/competing in, so that if you start as a pre-teen and continue on through High School you will end up with a very complete skill set in $area, whether that's cooking or photography or raising/showing animals or sewing or woodworking or one of a million other subjects. If you have kids and you live in the US, I highly recommend seeing if there is a 4-H club in your area because your kid will learn so much.)
But I don't often choose to cook. I eat a small range of basic, low-prep foods, but I (literally) spice things up so that a) they taste better and b) they don't get monotonous. But I know how to do so because I know what I like from learning to cook a wide variety of things, and a lot of people who eat the same way I do don't have that skill. So here's a cheat sheet.
( First of all, you have to learn what spices you like )
