This here story, it’s about cooking. They call it “Black and White Cook”. I reckon it means cooking ain’t that hard. Black and white, simple like that. You just gotta know a few things, and you can whip up something good to eat, you see.
Now, I ain’t no fancy chef, but I’ve been cooking for a long time. You pick up a thing or two when you gotta feed a whole family every day. First thing you gotta know, don’t be scared of the kitchen. It ain’t gonna bite ya.
The big secret, I reckon, is keeping it simple. You don’t need no fancy stuff. Just good, plain food. Like that chicken. Baked chicken is easy peasy. Just shove it in the oven. Some folks, they like them pork chops, too. Same thing, really. Oven’s your friend. You can bake that chicken with some taters and carrots. Chop ’em up, throw ’em in there. Easy dinner, right there.
And salad! Everyone can make a salad. Just some greens, maybe a tomato or two. Don’t need no fancy dressing. Just a little oil and vinegar, maybe. Keeps things simple, see? And healthy, too. Gotta eat your greens, that’s what they always said.
Pasta, now that’s another easy one. Everyone loves pasta. You boil some water, throw the pasta in, cook it till it’s soft. Then you need a sauce. Easiest thing is just some tomatoes from a can. Heat ’em up, maybe throw in some garlic if you got it. Boom, you got pasta sauce.
- Spaghetti, that’s a good one.
- Meatballs, if you’re feeling fancy. Just ground meat rolled into balls.
- Lasagna, that’s a bit more work, but still pasta. Layers and layers.
This Italian food, I heard them say it is easy cooking. They use fresh stuff. And simple way to cook. Like that pasta and risotto. Rice, they call it.
Some folks, they like to stir-fry. That’s just cooking stuff in a hot pan. You gotta be quick, though. Don’t want it to burn. They say it is a basic way to cook. Use that hot pan. Or that broiler. What is a broiler? Like an oven but hotter on top, I think.
And this Kimchi thing, they talk about. Sounds foreign to me. But they say you can stir-fry it with noodles and pork. Only takes about 30 minutes, they say. Quick meal, that’s good. When you’re hungry, you don’t wanna wait all day.
Then there’s this salmon thing. They call it a loaf. Like bread, but with fish. They say canned salmon is good. I reckon that’s true. Canned stuff, it lasts a long time. Good to have in the cupboard. You never know when you need to make a fast meal. This chef John, he must be something. He made this salmon loaf. Sounds fancy to me but maybe it is easy.
I seen them talking about 40 recipes for beginners. That’s a lot of food! They say these recipes are easy. Good for folks just starting out. Or if you just want something simple. Like tonight, maybe. I ain’t got all day to cook, you know.
This here “Black and White Cook”, it ain’t about being fancy. It’s about making good food, simple food. Food that fills you up and makes you happy. And anyone can do it, I reckon. Just gotta try. Don’t be scared. The kitchen is your friend, not your enemy, you know. Just like that oven, and that pan, and them canned tomatoes. And that salmon, I guess.
Cooking, it’s like life, I suppose. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s easy. But it’s always worth it in the end. When you sit down to a good meal, with folks you love, that’s what it’s all about. That is good. Even them beginner can cook good food. So easy you know. That black and white cook, it is simple. It is good.
