My husband is the chef My husband is a cook. It is his job. He enjoys cooking healthy food without any chemicals and free of sugar, and he often cooks at home, too. And I, his wife, enjoy the delicious meals he makes, and the clean kitchen he leaves behind. Are you asking how it is possible? Here is the way my husband cooks. When he wants to make a meal7, he takes a big pot or a large pan and he cooks everything just in that one pot or pan. He doesn’t make too many dirty dishes and he uses just one burner on the cooker. When making lunch, Honza usually starts with carrots and onions. He cuts them into small and large pieces, and puts them in the pan with some oil. When the carrots and onions are brown, he often adds some meat or other vegetables. He puts in some salt, pepper, garlic, or vinegar and he roasts the meat or vegetables for a short time. Then he adds some water to the pan, covers it with a lid8 and stews the meat until it is soft. Sometimes he adds some rice to the pan and cooks it with the meat. At other times he cooks pasta in another pot and then mixes the pasta with the meat and vegetables.
