Ali Slagle: 我认为烹饪应该从你真正想吃的食物开始，而不是被食谱或食材所限制。我会先查看冰箱里哪些食材快过期，然后以此为基础决定做什么菜。我会充分利用现有食材，并考虑食材的质地和风味搭配。我的目标是让大家了解如何利用少量核心食材做出各种菜肴，而不是严格按照我的40种食材清单来购买。很多食材都是可以互相替代的，关键在于理解每种食材在菜肴中的作用。烹饪过程中的每个步骤都可以根据个人喜好进行调整，找到适合自己的方式才是最重要的。从一个看起来不错的食谱开始，学习如何根据自己的食材进行调整，你会发现烹饪更有趣。我会考虑食材的质地，有时需要软硬搭配，有时则需要单一的质地。 我从小就看着妈妈做饭，她不拘泥于食谱，而是根据冰箱里的食材即兴发挥，这影响了我的烹饪风格。 如果不喜欢烹饪的某个方面，可以尝试不同的烹饪方法来解决问题，比如不喜欢清洁，可以选择做汤。 我建议从查看冰箱里哪些食材快过期开始，然后根据这些食材和自己的喜好来决定做什么菜。 Jean Chatzky: 我经常因为少一种食材而不得不跑去杂货店，食材用完后又很快坏掉，这让我很苦恼，尤其是在食品价格上涨的现在。减少食物浪费很重要，建议大家记录自己一周的饮食，看看哪些食物经常吃，哪些食物很少吃，然后调整购物清单。
