They let great ingredients star and, absolutely best of all, they’re EASY!Yumi’s 10 Cooking Commandments1. You shall not fuss.
2. If a step can be simplified, shortened or skipped altogether, it will be.
3. You shall use the whole tub or container, rather than leave an annoying blob in the bottom.
4. You shall always opt for healthier food, making you feel sexier.
5. Marshmallows do not count as an ingredient. Nor does Coca Cola, nor French onion soup. You are busy, not a bogan.
6. You will never apologise. You cooked. That is enough.
7. When it is written ‘best quality' - eg, ‘use 200g of best-quality bacon' - it means the best quality you can afford. ‘Best quality' does not equal ‘most expensive'.
8. You will always accept help. If you are in a situation where you have zero f*cks left to give and someone offers to help chop, or bring a plate or salad, or buy a cake for dessert, YOU WILL SAY YES.
9. You WILL follow the recipe! Every recipe has been carefully checked and tested by people who give vastly more f*cks than you do. Trust them. Get creative later.
10. THOU SHALT HAVE FUN.
