Many of us, myself included, dread cooking. This has much to do with the fact that cooking is often a time-consuming process, and since time is often in short supply, we choose fast food or order takeout more often. But you don’t have to feel a lack of control over your diet, and you can still enjoy delicious food without spending all your time in the kitchen.
