CHEF AARON'S TIP

A New Year ' s resolution for everyone .... cook more !

Why Should You Cook? If I were to decree a single New Year ' s resolution for everyone , it would be to improve your cooking game in 2020 . For some , that might mean to start cooking , period . For others , it might mean to stop eating out so much and get back into the kitchen . For still others , it might mean finally tackling that challenging recipe you ' ve always meant to try but have never had the motivation or nerve . Let me explain why cooking for yourself is so important .

EXECUTIVE CHEF AARON MASANOTTI , CEC

Cooking is good . Cooking is pure . Cooking is one of those human

For starters , just about anything you create in the kitchen is going to be healthier for you than what you might order in a restaurant , even if it ' s the cheesiest , most pepperoni - laden pizza you can dream up . You control the portions and ingredients and you know exactly what ' s in your dish . You can command as many of the details as you want to . For example , you can make both the dough and sauce and make them as healthy or as decadent as you like . But I think the real benefit of cooking is spiritual . When you cook a meal , or use certain cooking techniques , you ' re connected to a rich , evolving human history . One that goes back to the very earliest days of human beings conquering fire . If you ' re so inclined , you can read up on almost any cooking technique and learn the history behind it . Step into the kitchen with a friend or loved one and you ' ll surely find yourselves in a beautiful , shared moment . Preparation of food is one of those things we carry around with us , and when we can do it well , it almost always feels a little bit like magic . Cooking doesn ' t have to be scary , It doesn ' t have to be drudgery . You just have to find the part of it that ' s fun for you — and trust me , it ' s out there . Happy Cooking !! things you can do that will improve almost every aspect of your life , and there ' s nothing quite like the feeling of mastering a dish .
