Simplicity in Food

A perennial topic, and a great one, is Simplicity in Food. However there are different ways to be "simple" about food.. In one aspect, some will find simplicity in growing some of their food themselves. Those with less talent and interest for gardening (myself included), may find more Complexity in this approach than Simplicity. In another aspect, some will find Simplicity in cooking simple meals for themselves, their families or friends; others, in buying prepared but simple and inexpensive meals. Yet again, someone who truly enjoys cooking in of itself, might choose to cook elaborate meals for pure enjoyment of the process and result, and may seek Simplicity in other aspects of life. There are many other possible aspects that would be interesting to discuss and compare, as each one of us may be different in our focus or emphasis.
