How To Cook Amazing Fitness Food, For Idiots - Chris Baber - #299

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
What's happening, beautiful people, welcome back. My guest today is Chris Baber. He's a chef and Marks & Spencer's food ambassador. Literally all of the cells in our body are made up of what we put in our mouth. Although we all cook for ourselves, most people, in my experience, have very little idea what they're actually doing in the kitchen. We have maybe two or three recipes that we go back to, and that's kind of it. So I decided to get in touch with Chris, who's a great buddy of mine and a fantastic chef, to come to the rescue. Expect to learn how to meal prep healthy fitness food in no time at all, how spices work and which ones you need, what Chris says every stock cupboard should have, what the best minimal kitchen equipment setup is, how to plan your shopping and your meals to never waste anything, and much more. The last 30 minutes or so of this episode is just recipes and Chris talking through these fantastic sounding meals. All of those are available on his Instagram. If you just go and check out at Chris Baber, you'll be able to see all of the different ingredients and recipes and stuff like that. Also, I don't know what it is about TV chefs and chefettes, whatever a female chef is, but they must go through some sort of training to be able to speak with like that Gordon Ramsay cadence. It's like, so we're going to grab a little bit of spinach, we're going to get some salt, some honey, a little bit of this, put it in the oregano, give it a stir, bish-bash-bosh. And you're like, what is this? Is this some sort of like onboarding school for chefs to be able to speak like that? But yeah, so it's so good. Like I now have five or six new recipes that I can dig into and hopefully it'll make some of your evening meals this week a little bit more exciting too.
