Cooking can be fun and a freshly prepared meal is also healthier than a Fertiggerichte (ready meal) that just gets chucked in die Mikrowelle (microwave).
Cooking doesn’t have to be time consuming. Many meals can be cooked very quickly and will taste far better than a ready meal. If you have Pilze (mushrooms), Zwiebeln (onions) and Reis (rice) in the house, you can already cook a very tasty Italian mushroon risotto.
With Hackfleisch (mince), Kidneybohnen (kidney beans), gehackte Tomaten (chopped tomatoes) and onions, you can cook a quick Chilli Con Carne, or Spaghetti Bolognaise if you leave the kidney beans out.
The secret to great cooking is in the Zutaten (ingredients). With freshly prepared, high quality ingredients, you can make a truely mouth watering dish. There are many cooking websites and books out there with easy to follow Rezepten (recipes) that will turn you into the next Gordon Ramsey in no time. The only down side is all the Geschirr spülen (washing up) afterwards, but the great taste is worth it.
