Ingredients

Your cooking will only be as good as the ingredients you use. I may have settled for cramped, hot, shitty kitchens before, but I have never settled for anything less than exceptional ingredients. You’ve heard a thousand restaurants talk about how crucial sourcing the best produce is, so I won’t waste any more time with that. Instead, I want to stress the importance of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to try new ingredients every chance you get. There is nothing quite like tasting something new that pleases you to the core and changes the way you think about everything you thought you knew.
