Food Kits
Food Kits are not recipes. Food kits are
central to the way Lazy Bachelors live. Recipes include raw ingredients,
which are combined in various ways into something you can eat.
Food kits are assembled from
food products which are already foods in their own right. You
prepare a recipe. You assemble a food kit.
My favorite example is flour. Flour is not food. If you're hungry,
You can't just have a spoonful of flour to tide you over until
dinner. It takes three or four hours, a lot of hard work, and a good
deal of skill before you can make flour into a decent slice of bread.
Food kits, on the other hand, are assembled out of
ingredients that are already foods. Bread + salami + cheese = sandwich.
Or you can put the salami on your frozen pizza, use the cheese to make
quesadillas, and toast the bread for breakfast. While Lazy Bachelors
may like Food Kits for their easy preparation,
they soon appreciate their true value lies in their versatility.
We list nearly 50 Food Kits in the Lazy Bachelor's Cookbook, but
we may publish more here. Do you have a great Food Kit? E-mail
it to us, and if we can use it, we'll publish it here on the site,
and maybe in future editions of the book.
