Be a Genius in the Kitchen with Max Lugavere

• Max was inspired to start cooking when his mom became ill and he wanted to support her, and it also led to his overall search for the science behind health and longevity

• High quality basics like salt, pepper, and spices make it easy to make basic ingredients like vegetables, beef, and chicken, and make them delicious

• SImplicity is the best place to start, and Max pulls in a lot of food inspiration from Mediterranean dining

• Taste as you go and adapt your cooking style to have fun with it and learn to create dishes that excited you and taste great

• When cooking a steak, make sure your meat is dry on the surface and don't salt it as it will draw water out, sear it on a hot pan to develop a delicious crust

• When making burger patties, don't mix in salt or chopped veggies, both of those additions can lead to the meat steaming and "gelling" together more than giving it the proper burger texture

• Max avoids industrial seed oils when he can, but isn't dogmatic when it comes to eating out, and most restaurants unfortunately do use seed oils in their cooking

• Max has started using heavy cream in his coffee as it contains almost zero lactose or casein, and it has brain-boosting vitamins
