Cook with fewer ingredients, and better ones

The five techniques that make simple Mediterranean food taste like it took hours, and none of them take hours.

Cook with fewer ingredients, and better ones

Most home cooking is over complicated and under seasoned. Mediterranean cooking is the opposite, and it is far easier to sustain.

The five

Salt early. Build a soffritto slowly. Finish with acid, lemon or vinegar. Add raw olive oil at the end, off the heat. Use fresh herbs in handfuls, not pinches.

Flavour is technique, not a longer shopping list.

Practise on one dish

Choose one simple dish and cook it weekly until you no longer need the recipe. That is how a kitchen changes.

With love, Serena
