Ono is \u201cdelicious\u201d in Hawaiian.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The multi-generational spice store owner in Paris<\/strong> told me his secret for cooking with herbs and spices.  <br \/><em>&#8220;Simpler is better&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The grass-fed beef rancher in Nebraska<\/strong> I spoke with said his steaks get only salt and pepper on the grill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The restaurant owner in Spain<\/strong> that I dined with didn&#8217;t have complicated recipes, he bragged that it was the simple things done well that really impress his customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yet, food TV shows will have you believe<\/strong> that elaborate meals are the only way to be considered a truly good cook.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Why would cookbooks and food TV want to make you feel as if your cooking were inadequate?  <\/strong><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<h2>So you\u2019ll buy more cookbooks and watch more food TV!<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>When you discover just a few basic cooking methods,<\/strong> then you can break this cycle.  Imagine the benefits you would enjoy if you stopped searching for recipes and avoided the influence of celebrity chefs who make you feel unworthy of a kitchen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if you were empowered with this concept of simple cooking?<\/strong>  What if you could just choose items already in your pantry and improvise a delicious, nutritious, quick and easy meal every night of the week?<\/p>\n<p><strong>You would then begin to improve your lifestyle with simple cooking. <\/strong> You needn\u2019t be on TV, nor need to write a cookbook to know what type of food YOU like.  No celebrity chef or recipe author can tell you what you should be eating or how you should be cooking it.  <strong>Only you can decide that.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cook simply and you\u2019ll enjoy the following benefits:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1)  Freedom \u2013<\/strong> You\u2019ll gain freedom from written recipes and vague instructions that make it impossible to cook consistently.  You\u2019ll have the freedom to eat what you want, how you want it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)  Confidence \u2013<\/strong> Once you gain your freedom from others telling you how to cook, you\u2019ll have the confidence to create your own recipes, using the ingredients you desire.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>3)  Health \u2013<\/strong> With confidence comes a desire to cook new ingredients, more wholesome, fresh, farmer\u2019s market ingredients.  Once you discover simple cooking, you\u2019ll want to try it out on items you were afraid to purchase before because you couldn\u2019t find a recipe for the item.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4)  Family &#8211;<\/strong>  You\u2019ll reunite your family over the dinner table.  When they actually look forward to your cooking, when you enjoy preparing healthy meals with confidence, you\u2019ll spend more time together.  Also, cooking is a social skill.  You\u2019ll find yourself entertaining more, making friends and meeting new people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5)  Money &#8211;<\/strong>  When cooking in your home moves from the living room as entertainment and back into the kitchen as art, you\u2019ll save money.  You\u2019ll order less take-out food.  You\u2019ll purchase less convenience items and make better decisions at the grocery store.  You\u2019ll stop buying cookbooks.  Simple cooking will save you money.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Something else I\u2019ve said 1000 times is that cooking is an art.<\/strong>  There is no other art form that comes with a strict set of instructions to follow.  Your cooking should come from your heart, using basic cooking methods with the ingredients you and your family desire.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, you\u2019re giving the responsibility of something as important as your health and nutrition to a guy on TV.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<h2>Discover how to use the freshest ingredients<br \/>\nin my upcoming FREE Webinar,<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/events.genndi.com\/register\/169105139238437402\/ef61a1e2ab\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Buy Fresh.
