Cook basic foods    

Most of us did not learn to cook from our mothers, although our mothers tried to tell us. At the time we were supposed to learn, we were too busy going out, listening to music and talking to our friends on the phone. Now you are on your own, don't feel like going out to eat, or can't afford it even if you did. You can call your mother, but she'll say "I told you so", or she'll come over to cook for you, or she is not much of a cook either. If you don't want to go through cook books with recipes that require 20 ingredients and hours of work, here is some help:

There are few basic rules to keep in mind:

¨ Buy fresh, good quality ingredients. 

¨ Most things are cooked on medium or low temperature.

¨ Use less salt and more herbs. 

¨ Most vegetables can be washed, sliced and served in a salad.

¨ To make salad more interesting, add fruit to it.

¨ If you are out of dressing, mix salt, oil and vinegar. 

¨ Use sea salt

¨ Use olive oil. If it taste too heavy for a salad, use grape seed oil.

¨ Most vegetables are boiled or stir fried for few minutes only.

¨ Most beans are boiled for 1 hour or more.

¨ Most fish is done in less than 10 minutes.
