Cooking at Home: what is it, what is it, what is it?

The question is not idle when it comes to the composition of products – after all, there is almost no trust in manufacturers. In addition, there are too many loopholes in the law, allowing you to sell low-grade product under familiar names. You buy “special” butter and it turns out to be margarine, instead of sour cream you always risk to get “sour cream product”, instead of cottage cheese you get “curd product”, instead of cheese you get “cheese containing”. Sounds unappetizing and even scary, especially if you remember that “you are what you eat.”. But you’ll know exactly “what your food is made of” if you cook your favorite delicacies at home. Fortunately now there are all the technical possibilities for this.
