> Home-cooked food is almost always healthier than restaurant food, so don’t try to learn to cook and cook the healthiest possible version of each dish. Most veggies taste better roasted in a generous amount of olive oil...

It took me way to long to learn not to be afraid of oil when cooking and grilling food. I burned a lot of food for awhile under the assumption that I shouldn't be adding too much fat to homecooked food.

Definitely - that and salt. Whenever you watch a professional chef cook you realize how much fat and salt going into making something taste "restaurant quality".
Watching old Julia Childs videos gave me the impression that all vegetables were primarily different substrates for butter :D
That's the French for you.
