I know it’s to establish this impericaly but hopefully this isn’t a surprise. Taste comes from butter, salt, spices and fat. You for the most part can’t make say - chicken - taste good without all that.

The only reason “cooking at home” is considered healthier is because people don’t cook tasty food for themselves because they don’t know that if you just keep the above in mind you can make way tastier food than anything at any restaurant every day.
