What Ingredients Are You Cooking With

Cooking Ingredients Matter

We all have to eat, so learn to cook and eat well. And since you’re here, you must feel the same way. And cooking ingredients matter too. So I like to say, buy the best ingredients you can afford. It makes a difference.

Now the question becomes, “What should I cook?”

I ask myself that question multiple times a day, so this section is designed to help all of us, myself included. First, we’ll look at buying fresh, seasonal ingredients. Your meals will almost always taste better the fresher and more locally you can source what you’ll cook.

There’s a reason why tomatoes don’t taste good in the winter, and you can’t find pie pumpkins in the summertime. So please work with your local seasons when planning meals and deciding what to cook, not against them.
