Rant entitled! To me, worse than season to perfection is “cook until done”. And continuing to share your rant, what is such a big deal of 'x number of ingredients" ? Ingredients are not the qualifying stumble block in cooking. PROCESS is. Don’t tell me to combine several cups of PEELED, CHOPPED, BLANCHED veggies. You have just co-opted 3/4 hour of my life! There is nothing wrong with that instruction but don’t include it in your “15 minute meals”. Just one example, but I’m sure you get my drift. Now if you are a Whole Foods customer who buys all your veg peeled, chopped, spiralized, et al, then qualify your recipes by calling them “15 minute meals requiring only 5 pre-prepped ingredients”. But doubt Harters would keep that book either.
