what is minimalist home cooking?
I could make some dodgy jokes about minimalist home cooking being eating out all the time, or what happens when you’re in a country stricken by famine – but I’ll spare you. In the stonesoup kitchen, the focus is on recipes that meet most or all of the following criteria:
minimal time As much as I love spending a whole day in the kitchen, I’m always thinking about how I can do things more quickly and efficiently. This is where the 10 minutes comes in. minimal number of steps This is related to time but I wanted to spell it out separately. At stonesoup I’m always looking to minimalise the number of steps needed in a recipe. I strive to keep the instructions concise but easy to follow. minimal number of ingredients A long ingredient list can be daunting. This inspired me to create this series of recipes using 5 ingredients or less. There are no needless ingredients. Everything must perform a key function to get included. minimal equipment I’ve never been a fan of single-use kitchen equipment and I know that like me, most people are cooking in pretty basic kitchens. While some of the recipes in this book may be quicker and easier to prepare with a food processor, that’s as fancy as it gets. There’s a section on how to setup a minimalist kitchen later in this book. [5 ingredients | 10 minutes]
