About the Author
April Blomgren Hello everyone! Are you ready to grill tonight? My name is April and I love to cook and entertain friends and family almost every weekend. If you share my passion for great food, easy preparation time but mouthwatering results, you and I are going to get along just fine! I think a successful meal among loved ones is based on a few key factors: fresh ingredients and appropriate cooking method.
Some meats for
example, can truly benefit from being marinated overnight, and will be at their best prepared on the grill. Another aspect of cooking I must insist on, no matter what your cooking style is: rely on the use of herbs and spices. Please favor fresh herbs each time you can. However, I understand that it may be difficult during certain periods of the year, so simply keep a well-
stocked pantry of dried basic herbs and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, basil, oregano, thyme or any other favorites. Finally, once you embark that exciting culinary journey with me, you will realize that simplicity is also one of my allied. Don’t overthink when cooking. Inspire yourself of recipes, have fun doing it and taste as you go. Sure, you might once in a while burn a few pork chops or use too much salt in your sauce, you are just human. Cooking is not about succeeding every time, it is about the opportunity to learn and get better. Don’t be afraid to taste your dishes along the way, adjust the seasonings and serve accordingly.
