Cooking & Baking

You will find about 10 people (average a night) post interesting meals they make. Some are very creative. So yeah, people do cook.

I'm one of those people who makes a different recipe just about every night. My prep time is sometimes as much as two hours! However, that two hours is good for a lunch the next day, maybe two. My deal is that I like healthy meals and also that use my garden produce, since that is my big thing in life, gardening organically.

The RG can cook up a fabulous meal that you'd pay $70 for in a restaurant in only 15". However, he travels a lot so the meal prep lately is all on me.

It just never occurred to me how important this issue of time in meal prep is--in your case because you don't like to cook, but in a lot of cases, just no time.

There are cookbooks called the 3-ingredient, 4-ingredient, and 5-ingredient cookbooks. Different chefs like Jamie Oliver put them out. Most big name chefs have a book like this published. Those are pretty simple recipes with good ideas.

I think this is what the speakers on this news story are talking about. How can you have good food but not spent a lot of time in meal prep? And it's also interesting how certain cultures, like Chinese, have more intensive time requirements for their meals.
