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 .
