Basic Bitch Recipes
What is Basic Bitch Recipes all about?
I will begin with the philosophy behind Basic Bitch Recipes; firstly, we are 'basic' because we want to eat food in its most basic form. We don’t want to eat overly processed food. It doesn’t taste as good as the real deal, and its not as great for our insides.
Secondly, we are 'basic' in the way that Kate Moss famously described a cabin crew member: we are mainstream. We like pop culture, and most specifically for this blog, we don’t want to have to go and get all these fancy organic ingredients from specialists, health food shops, or farmers markets to feed ourselves.
Therefore, the recipes on this blog try to use ingredients in their most basic form - just dug up, just off the tree, just finished their mortal life (sorry vegetarians and vegans).
However, for the Basic Bitch in you, all the ingredients will be available from your local supermarket!
As mainstream clones, we probably work at some sort of desk job, and whist we would love to ‘shop local’, when its 7:30pm and we have just left the office after rewriting a report nine times, we probably do not have the time (or will) to go to four different places to get dinner!
‘What about the weekend?’ I hear you cry. Well, being a Basic Bitch, also probably means you don’t want to get up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday to hang out at the farmers market - you'll be too busy getting your beauty sleep and a manicure!
So there you have it, Basic Bitch recipes, as close to nature as you can get, without having to experience it!
And a bit about me..... well, I am a Basic Bitch who likes to play around in the kitchen and doesn't like to eat too much stuff from tins and jars.
I’m not in any way a trained chef, cook or otherwise, and have no idea on the right way to do things. This blog is just a collection of some of the things I think are really tasty and the detail on how I did it.
I hope you like the recipes, and I'm always keen to hear your thoughts if you have tried them. Please comments with any suggestions, or improvements you have made.
Get cooking, Heather x
