Conclusion
April Blomgren
Hello everyone ! Are you ready to grill tonight? My name is April and I
love to cook and entertain friends and family almost every weekend . If you
share my passion for great food, easy preparation time but mouthwatering
results, you and I are going to get along just fine !
I think a successful meal among loved ones is based on a few key factors :
fresh ingredients and appropriate cooking method . Some meats for
example, can truly benefit from being marinated overnight, and will be at
their best prepared on the grill . Another aspect of cooking I must insist on,
no matter what your cooking style is : rely on the use of herbs and spices .
Please favor fresh herbs each time you can . However, I understand that it
may be difficult during certain periods of the year, so simply keep a well -
stocked pantry of dried basic herbs and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg,
basil, oregano, thyme or any other favorites .
Finally, once you embark that exciting culinary journey with me, you will
realize that simplicity is also one of my allied . Don ’ t overthink when
cooking . Inspire yourself of recipes, have fun doing it and taste as you go .
Sure, you might once in a while burn a few pork chops or use too much salt
in your sauce, you are just human . Cooking is not about succeeding every
time, it is about the opportunity to learn and get better . Don ’ t be afraid to
taste your dishes along the way, adjust the seasonings and serve
accordingly .
