"Knowing the fundamentals of cooking is infinitely more important than following recipes or using 'chef-y' techniques. Not everyone wants to dedicate themselves to cooking all day, but we should all be comfortable putting together a simple meal. That's how I cook, and that's how I like to eat-I think the basics are where it's at."
