Have Greater Control over

Household Food Cost: Learn to

Turn Whatever’s in the Kitchen in

to Dinner Tonight

I’ve been a cook and then a chef for about 17 years. I’ve had the very good fortune of being taught from a young age how to prepare exquisite,

tasty meals. Largely everyone in my

family is a good cook; some very, very good, and some

better than others.

Following those early teachers – my family –

were a series of foreign and domestic,

highly trained and extremely talented, world-class chefs.

No one you have seen on the Food Network’s cooking classes and no one widely known

to the masses like Gordon Ramsay or

Jamie Oliver

But most certainly extraordinary cooks by any measure. I think I’m qualified to teach you many skills and

techniques which can be put into action

immediately.

You will have to take my word for it, for

now. There’s one thing

that’s really holding households back in

terms of cooking and it’s ‘the recipe.’

It’s really a crutch, an anchor. People

are stuck without a recipe and can

really only resort back to methods

and dishes

which they have been exposed to by their past

– things they have eaten and old recipes

which they have mastered.

 If you want to have greater control over your household food

cost,

You have to learn to only use recipes for

inspiration. That’s it. On my website ThriftCulture

Now.com, I only ever present recipes in my

free cooking classes as guides—not gospel.

My purpose is to expose you to the information

necessary to mastering techniques

which you can apply to a HUGE variety of

meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, vegetables,

sea vegetables, herbs, spices, fruits, nuts, grains, beans, dirt, water, air….just

kidding about the last three. Anyway…get away from recipes

and learn to really cook, utilizing

whatever is in the kitchen, right now. You get home from work, look in the

cupboards

cupboards and in the fridge to see what’s there, and just bang out a beautiful meal

for you and your loved ones. No recipe. That’s what you’re going to

do.

In keeping with our mission of presenting

you with the best solutions we can find for cutting household

costs and living a thrifty life (building

wealth!),

I will outline why this information will

dramatically lower your food cost as

your learn and apply it.

In a nutshell, if you’re constantly using

recipes then you’re constantly buying

ingredients that you don’t already have in

your kitchen.

If you’re making these extra trips to the grocery store you’re not only

wasting productive time, but you’re also

wasting gasoline

and risking getting sucked into

unnecessary impulse buys while in the

store, and your food cost skyrockets. You want to avoid over

shopping.

Being able to cook using a variety of

fundamental techniques will allow

you to cook whatever is in your kitchen. You will steer clear of fast food

and dining out excessively, and you

will avoid buying processed food from

the freezer aisle in the centre of the grocery store (no man’s land)

because it will be a snap for you to whip up tasty

and healthy dishes using whatever you

have.  Secondly, in terms of thrift and our new and exciting Thrift Culture,

being able to cook

anything and turn it in to an exquisite meal can turn you in to a master buyer of all

foods. It’s pretty stupid to buy ingredients that you don’t know how to

prepare.

If you’re serious about frugal living, there isn’t any room in your food

cost budget for ingredients that you don’t know how to

prepare, in a variety of ways.

You run the risk of destroying the

ingredients and thus flushing your hard

earned money down the drain. So, that’s all about to come to an

end.

The cooking classes you will find at Thriftculture Now.com will teach you the techniques that you

can use to cook any type of food. Braising short ribs has a lot in common with braising

chicken thighs

and blanching asparagus has a lot in

common with blanching green

beans. Just learn the techniques and apply

them.
