I find cooking and spending time
around my kitchen, dishing out goodies for my family to be not
only an absolutely satisfying experience but also a wonderful
stress- buster. A relaxed time in the kitchen when I have
already decided in advance what to cook and got all the
ingredients for it, is simply wonderful.
If it is a new recipe that I am
trying then it's even better. I find the excitement of cooking
something new truly a fun filled experience. I am working
towards a new goal and yes, enjoying then at every stage.
Looking forward to how my creation would look when done is
definitely wonderful.
I am sure many of you who love
cooking have this excitement of trying out new recipes. Going
through sites and an irresistible photograph of a delicious dish
can actually have me hooked. I look forward to the earliest
possible time when I can try out this wonderful recipe. And yes,
when done, it is a wonderful reward for all the effort that has
gone into it. Approval from my family is the icing on the cake.
The whole process of beginning and getting the dish to the table
and being able to bring a smile to everyone's face at home is an
absolutely pleasurable experience.
Food according to me is a
wonderful way of expression (self-expression in fact) and
bringing out one's creativity. A little interest and now with
the world of internet opening up several doors (and windows too)
for you, it is an experience that is unmatched.
If you take it as one of the
chores that you have to complete then I guess it is a task that
is not going to give you any happiness nor is the end result
going to be as good. When you do a work for work's sake and when
you do the work with immense passion for it, the difference is
evident. Experimenting with all the wonderful ingredients,
handling all the different colors that nature has been kind
enough to bless us with are privileges I consider that I have.
And yes, here I am the creator (at times do agree I turn into a
destroyer, but then I strongly do believe that -to err is human-
and that is enough to keep me going). I decide what to make,
plan my budget and also choose how to make it from the
innumerable possibilities. This truly makes me feel on top of
the world. I am the boss here.
I love to cook and entertain. A
deadly combination I guess. But the pleasure of having family
and friends over and cooking wonderful dishes for them is a
truly wonderful feeling. Try it and am sure you would love the
opportunity of making something special for your near and dear
ones.
