Cooking is an art and, like all art, requires a certain amount of talent. Even so, any woman can learn to do wonders in the kitchen. Ideally, you don't repeat the menu too often so your family doesn't get bored of a particular dish. The tip is to prepare a weekly menu and thus save time and allow a special dedication to food preparation.
1 ? Learn to do the basics
Of course, sometimes a little creativity is key to innovating on the menu. Still, knowing the basics is a big help and a lot of work in the kitchen. What would be the basics? Rice, beans, steak, chips and egg: more Brazilian, impossible. These dishes are simple and easy to prepare, and will probably save you many times a day. If you consider only rice and beans, then the accompanying variations are almost endless. Learn how to do the basics and only then worry about the rest.
2 ? Specialize
Learn some dishes to use as wildcards in everyday life. Specialize in them, train hard, until they come out very special. This gives you more options when your creativity is off.
3? Consider family tastes
So you don't have to make a thousand different dishes in one meal, take into account the taste of the people who live with you. It is easier to invest in a recipe that appeals to everyone than to try to satisfy each one's wishes separately. If someone does not eat fish, for example, or does not like pasta, avoid these foods when setting up the menu of the week.
4? Learn how to vary without changing ingredients too much
The important thing is to be original and to do this you have to learn to cook the same food in many different ways. Potatoes are a good example because they are so versatile: you can make them fried, baked, cooked, mashed, in mayonnaise, in salads and, of course, in many other ways. Try to do the same with other ingredients. Noodles can be accompanied by various types of sauce, rice can be? Seasoned? With vegetables or bacon, meat does not always have to be served fried, so put your head to work and learn how to make the same food in different ways.
5? Notice what you have in the closet
And in the fridge. Make a list of the ingredients you have at home before the week starts. On Sunday night, for example, take a few minutes to do this to find out what you can work with and what you need to buy. This avoids last minute races to the market with often unnecessary expenses.
With this list in hand, sit quietly and try to imagine what kind of dishes can be prepared with these items. Keep writing as you remember on a piece of paper. Finally, look at the dishes you have listed and arrange them on different days of the week, being careful not to prepare the same ingredient for several consecutive days so as not to get sick.
