      @V Rostova you shouldn’t generalize, African Americans for starters go crazy with the spices and make bomb food, and for just Americans no matter to race ever been to New Orleans or the south the food there is excellent and well seasoned. Yes many of us struggle with our spices and cook bland food but let’s not generalize there are many parts that take cooking and food seriously

    Cooking those veggie noodles in that broth that way was pure genius!! I've said this before, and I'll say it again.... It is so refreshing to see someone cook the way you do on a public platform.... Repurposing packaging, cleaning and reusing Ziploc bags and "disposable" containers... Washing out and using the dregs of hot sauce... Using "dead" or "expired" stuff because really, your senses should determine whether its good or bad, and not necessarily some printed date.. Your creativity and resourcefulness is just wonderful.. Always a fan!!

    The thing that stuck with me was the part in the beginning about the spices. Having a selection of spices (at least the basics) is absolutely an investment. The right spices can turn even the most basic of meals to something amazing. When I was a broke college students, I would pick up 1-2 spices a month and soon I had a pretty respectable spice rack. A+, would recommend!

      Being a food professional helps a lot because at least half the trick of it is practice and experience. When you go to school for it and/or cook for other people all day, you get that experience much much quicker than if you're just cooking for yourself and your family at mealtimes, and you also get more diverse experiences outside of what you grew up eating. But you can eventually build up your knowledge as a home cook! You can expose yourself to all kinds of different ingredients and learn how to prepare them, so when you encounter a new ingredient it's easier to figure how how the heck to cook it, and what it should look, smell, fee,l and taste like when it's done. And you can also develop an instinct for what sorts of flavors go together. That familiarity with flavors and confidence with cooking a large variety of foods forms the basis for this kind of creativity in meals.
      And then you add in constraints, which are a brute force hack for creativity in basically any scenario, food related or not. Having the freedom to do everything can actually dampen creativity, but once you have a restriction it becomes a puzzle to figure out. That restriction can be budget, or it can be that the CSA gave you twice as many veggies as you'd normally buy for yourself in a week and it includes green beans which you hate but you still have to find a way to make them palatable
