Question:
So many recipes use onions. What if you have a family member who *hates* onions? Can harmony be achieved without cooking multiple dishes?
— Robert Stepp
Answer:
Yeah, so, um, if you have somebody that hates onions, I've had clients that do that as well too. Um, it's just one of those things like if you have somebody who doesn't like cilantro too, it's just best to be able to not use that ingredient for the greater good. Um, you know, to be able to make the one person happy. Not using the onions. Some people might like them, but that's just part of the way it goes. You can, if you really like the flavor, make a separate dish of onions and add them into it as well too. Or you can cook a dish to a point, take out their serving, um, that they're going to feed the person without the onions, and then, uh, add a cooked onion to the dish for everybody else too, to be able to kind of marinate those flavors into a little bit.
