Your home is not a restaurant. Don’t compete with professional kitchens, million dollar equipment and fourteen apprentices. We can make the one thing they can’t - good home cooking.
Take one step back. Buy chicken on the bone, not just fillets. Cook a whole fish.
Use brown sugar rather than white. Buy tea in leaves and coffee in beans.
The fewer machines you use, the better the food. Use the power in your hands.
Don’t be scared of tripe, brains, liver and kidneys. Why eat only the outside?
Get up early and go to the market. If you’re lucky enough to have a fresh food market, use it, or lose it.
