EVOO is overrated, even in the Mediterranean where it's considered a 2nd tier oil only to be used on salads. For cooking, use coconut/MCT oil or tallow (depending on flavour). Macadamia oil is good where EVOO would normally be used, for example I use it for making mayo. Seed oils should normally be avoided but macadamias are the one big exception.
Generally speaking though it's preferable to not take animal products to high temps since it oxidises the cholesterols in them and probably other stuff too. Slow cooking and smoking are preferable in terms of health.
Cheese is perfectly fine in moderation, as long as you can digest dairy. Be careful that you don't have a low level chronic intolerance to it though.
I'm still a beginner cook so can do basics and any meal by a recipe but I ain't going on a masterchief let's put it that way lol.
I'd have to be careful, got one friend allergic to coconut and is macadamia more a nut than a seed as that could cause issues. Not for me, I won the 'I can eat anything' lottery but I'd hate to lose a friend that I can get on with because I forgot which oil I used lol.
Not sure about macadamia allergies. But if you're a beginner you should try slow cooking, it's the easiest way of cooking! You literally just put whatever stuff in the crock pot, turn it on, and come back later that day to ready to eat food. There isn't even a dial.
Dude my slow cooker is my SAVIOUR, the amount of stews and meats I've done in that to be used for pies after can not be understated. I know now why smart parents give their kids a slow cooker if they go live in student accommodation!
Thanks to a lot of cooking shorts I get, I'm getting more into cooking using butter even water to fry and moving more towards olive oil where I can.
Cheese isn't bad so long as like everything, you apply moderation. Something the left is incapable of doing.
