JJ Virgin shares her everyday cooking staples: olive oil, sea salt, rosemary, and a seasoning called Pluck for air-fried chicken thighs. She makes a sugar-free mocha with cashew cream and mushroom chocolate powder, and aims for an "A-" diet that's healthy without chasing perfection.
What do I use to cook? I use olive oil, sea salt, and I use these organ— have you heard of this, Pluck? It's like the greatest stuff ever. It sounds absolutely disgusting. It's organ meat turned into seasoning. We put it on chicken thighs and air fry it. Greatest thing ever. I mean, this is it. I have a whole bunch of spices down here, but the reality is I might use rosemary. Like, if you go in here, you'll see I've like got 20 rosemarys because it's my favorite. And we might use a little garlic. Easy. It doesn't have to be hard. Here's another one. This is a little coffee foamer-upper, milk foamer-upper. So we use cashew cream to foam up, but we'll make mochas using this chocolate powder, which is chocolate mushrooms, no sugar, coffee, and then put that on top. It's like amazing. It's like a treat. It's amazing. It's amazing. You wouldn't even know that, you know, like there's no chocolate. Although I do have some tricks in my fridge on things that you can eat that, you know, maybe it wouldn't give you an A+ on your diet, but I always say this is not about an A+ unless you're really metabolically damaged and we have to heal. This is an A-.
