Cooking ideas
Bored of eating the same meals?
You can like a meal and still get tired of eating it. If your usual lunches have become a chore, start with the part you would most like to change.
What would make this meal better?
Think about whether you are bored of the flavour, the texture or the whole dish. A different combination of herbs and spices may be enough for a rice bowl you otherwise enjoy. If you are tired of the main ingredient, changing the meal may be more useful.
There is no fixed week when everyone gets bored, and no single flavour that everyone will keep enjoying. Give yourself a few options.
Make variety easy
Keep two or three finishes you enjoy close to hand. You might use lemon and pepper one day, herbs the next, then Pranasalt. Choose what sounds good when you sit down to eat.
If you prefer to plan ahead, the flavour rotation planner below can suggest a different finish for each day.
Ideas to try
Change one ingredient
Swap a side or vegetable while keeping the rest of the meal familiar.
Try another cooking method
Roasting, grilling and steaming give different textures and flavours. Pick a method that fits the time you have.
Try a different flavour
Herbs, lemon, chilli or a favourite sauce can give the same ingredients a different taste.
Cook something else
If you are tired of the whole meal, choose a different recipe. It does not have to mean replacing your entire weekly plan.
Keep a sachet handy
Pranasalt is a flavour enhancer made from food. Try it on a familiar meal. Sprinkle a little over cooked food, taste it, and add more if you want.
Questions
Is it normal to get bored of meals I used to like?
It can happen when you eat the same dishes often. You may want a different flavour, texture or recipe.
Should I change the meal or add different flavours?
Try whichever addresses what you dislike. If you still like the ingredients, a different flavour is a small change to test. If you are tired of the dish itself, try another meal.
Will Pranasalt stop me getting bored?
Taste is personal. You can use Pranasalt alongside other flavours you enjoy.
