ASSUMED INGREDIENTS
In my recipes , I’ve included what we call “assumed” ingredients. These are ingredients that you should always have handy in your kitchen. They really just cover the basics. Therefore we do not count them in the “3 ingredients”. The list is very simple:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil (cold pressed preferably)
- Macadamia oil (optional)
- Red wine vinegar
- Balsamic vinegar
- Soy Sauce
- Dijon Mustard
- Chicken and/or vegetable stock cubes
The great thing is… You probably already have all of those available in your pantry!
WHY ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS?
I believe that one of the main reasons why people aren’t able to stick to a diet or eating plan is that the cooking instructions are too complicated. Have you ever looked into a cook book and thought: “This recipe looks soooo good, but I need to go to 4 different shops to find the 17 ingredients required for it… IF I even manage to find them all!” It doesn’t make these recipes bad, it just makes them very unpractical on a daily basis, and sometimes even unrealistic! That’s why I decided to stick to 3 ingredients maximum. Practical cooking for busy people is the key! To make it even easier, I offer variations on ingredients and offer tips on possible additions to the recipe so you can decide if you want something a little fancier or if the simple and still yummy version of the recipe suits you best. It will also help you make your selection depending on where you live in the world and which the season you’re in!
For most recipes, you’ll very likely find most if not all the ingredients straight-away in your fridge!
I sincerely hope that you’ll enjoy my recipes!
