Hello everyone ! Are you ready to grill tonight? My name is April and I
love to cook and entertain friends and family almost every weekend .
If you share my passion for great food, easy preparation time but
mouthwatering results, you and I are going to get along just fine !
I think a successful meal among loved ones is based on a few key
factors : fresh ingredients and appropriate cooking method . Some
meats for example, can truly benefit from being marinated overnight,
and will be at their best prepared on the grill . Another aspect of
cooking I must insist on, no matter what your cooking style is : rely on
the use of herbs and spices . Please favor fresh herbs each time you
can . However, I understand that it may be difficult during 118
Finally, once you embark that exciting culinary journey with me, you
will realize that simplicity is also one of my allied . Don ’ t overthink
when cooking . Inspire yourself of recipes, have fun doing it and taste
as you go . Sure, you might once in a while burn a few pork chops or
use too much salt in your sauce, you are just human .
