Food

Basics

Always add a bit sugar and salt! Yes also for Salad..

sweet, sour, salty, (bitterness) and umami — try to serve all taste receptors.

Use herbs and spices like make up — They work together in harmony, you should not notice a single one standing out.

Fibers! Fibers are essential - they slow down sugar metabolism and needed for a healthy gut.

Don't eat processed Food!

Happy Brain Food

To stay happy your brain need some compounds which can't be synthesized by your body.

So ensure your diat includes:

Dark Chocolade ⇒ Theobromine Havard health "your brain on chocolate" Enhancing Human Cognition with Cocoa Flavonoids

Cashews ⇒ Tryptophan

Herring / (fish) ⇒ Docosahexanacid (DHA)

Sugar

You need to differentiate between Sugars.

Glucose is a good Sugar but not very sweet. Fructose is bad Sugar, Sweet but as dangerous as alcohol - only metabolized within your liver. For more Info search for Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology known for Sugar: The Bitter Truth

Further: Sweetness is a trained perception, you can also be happy with less - after containing a certain amount everything will be treated as "good Food" this is very dangerous.

Knives

You will only need 2 Knives a big and a small one. Learn to sharpen them on a stone, mainly grind from the side of the hand you are using to cut (right-hander grind the right side of the blade)!

A short oyster knife could also be very usefull for opening or separating as it works like a wedge and by twisting you break open things. So a melon, coconut, frozen goods or ice could be easily brought apart. Also great for removing the skin of fruits or potatos, when placing your thumb onto side of the blade (over the lower side of the finger guard).

Soup

Adding a spoon of starch (potato) will make your soup thicker and everything (noodle, vegetables, royale, roasted bread or meat) will float. Mix it with a little cold water before adding it to your hot soup.

Lemonade

Todays sodas/softdrinks are the worst and you get trained to like them —

basically they work as you combine sweet (sugar/sweetener) and sour (acid) however here is my recipe:

fizzy Water, add some drops of lemonjuice and an equal (or less) amount of elederflowers sirup

add about ¼-⅓ Applejuice.
