What are the 5 keys to positive cooking?

1- Cooking caring foods

The excellent almond to nibble, the avocado rich in good fatty acids, the fresh antioxidant herbs ... To cook 100% positive, it is important to know the advantages and disadvantages of food. Ok, not all, but at least some. This helps to illuminate his menu choices and their range. There is no question here of diet or any restriction, but simply to eat in full consciousness.

2 - Cooking according to his personality

No question in the positive kitchen to pretend to be someone else. Positive cooking, the one that is good for taste buds and morale, is the one that resembles us. We do not have to spend an evening or an afternoon if we do not want to. Finally, it is to find in the plate, the personality of the cook or the cook. Creativity, presentation, simplicity ... everyone does what he wants!

3 - Cooking kit

Positive cooking is not meant to be good only for the cook, everyone who shares the meal should also enjoy it. The idea: to go out of the traditional pattern of starters and unique dishes served on the plate by breaking down the menus into complementary dishes that everyone will mix according to their tastes and their appetite. The entry at the same time as the dish? Positive cooking dares to mix everything!

4 - Take pleasure in cooking

There is nothing worse for yourself and for others than forcing yourself to do things. Of course, sometimes we have no choice, but in positive cooking, we still have it! Enjoying cooking is a golden rule in this optimistic cuisine. Cooking can be a great stress reliever for whoever is behind the stove and as a gift for the one to whom the dish is destined. Always keep that in mind, even when you're in a hurry or lazy ...

5 - Share your kitchen to feast

It's no secret, we do not cook the same way when we are alone or accompanied. Only we go faster, but together we go further: this adage is also valid in cooking. Sharing the cuisine, whether it's his or not, and the convivial moment that the meal represents, that's the positive cooking! Combine the useful with the pleasant, in short.
