I was a terrible cook for many, many years. I thought I was just bad at it. But it turns out I was trying to jump right into advanced level cooking without taking the time to earn the basics. When I decided to simplify my diet and focus on eating more vegetables, I also simplified my cooking. I didnt realize at the time that this was what I really NEEDED in order to become a better cook. I needed to learn simple, basic techniques like knife skills and sauteeing and roasting. Id been trying to create complicated recipes without putting in the work to learn the simple techniques. And it turns out that simple food can be really awesome when its prepared correctly! These days most of my meals have very few ingredients and use very few cooking techniques, but I learned to do those techniques properly, and I learned to choose the right ingredients. Sometimes starting over at the beginning and taking things slowly can make all the difference.
