The beauty of simple taste

This afternoon I made almond milk for my family again. This time I just put water, almond and dark sugar in the blender. I thought the taste would be rather boring but it turned out really nice and simple. My family said it was just the right flavor. I felt really happy. I used to put cinnamon sugar instead of dark sugar, add a whole vanilla bean and a pinch of salt. However, those expensive and exotic ingredients do not make the almond milk taste any good to them. Sometimes they said the complicated smell and taste scare away their appetites.

Now that I know why original flavor is so important among all kinds of cooking. Because the simple taste is so beautiful that any added spice would ruin its balance. I think maybe I should start the simple vegan cooking first to introduce the whole new vegan diet to my family. Hope that one day they would also embrace the idea of being vegan.
