Over the years, we have been told that some foods are good for us and others not. If we listen to our own bodies, most of the time, they will tell us what is good for them and what is not.
The Brainy Gourmet recognizes that for some people finding food that their body can deal with, then having to cook it, can be a daily issue and for others it is not. For that those that battle daily, consider what is that you battle or what is an issue.
Perhaps, its not cooking but rather a problem of eating certain foods and avoiding others. Perhaps, its that you don't cook because you just don't like to or it seems like work to follow a recipe... getting all the 'right' ingredients.
We mislead ourselves into thinking that cooking at home is work or a burden. According to recent psychology studies, cooking for yourself is beneficial emotionally and physically. Cooking at home should be a pleasure.
You don't have to have a recipe using expensive and or exotic ingredients. Basic ingredients will always prove delicious. Refer to the basic pantry list on this blog to get started.
If you require gluten free, that doesn't mean you can't be a Brainy Gourmet. Its easier when you know what you can have; i.e. quinoa, buckwheat groats or potatoes instead of pasta. Again, if your battle is with certain foods, find things to cook that you can have and be a Brainy Gourmet!

"food will not bring us close to God. We are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do"
