re: What is your Food Philosophy?

It depends on the night and the time Ihave to prepare it. On work/school nights, I keep it as simple as possible using mostly tried and true recipes that I keep in my head mostly. On weekends or holidays I venture outside my comfort zone some. I live in an area that doesn’t cater much to exotic and lesser known ingredients so I steer clear of using recipes that use ingredients I’d have to drive an hour or more to find. Always strive to cook well seasoned and flavorful foods from scratch. I cook with the philosophy not to overuse seasoning and spices though personally I like things that may be too salty or too spicy for some. You can always add more. Also since I do most of the cleaning too, the amount of cleaning that I will have to do after cooking many times determines what I will be cooking.
