The
Joy of Cooking
Cooking …!!! Each day of our lives we all have to do some form of it. For me, I
find passion, love, and joyfulness in cooking. I have always enjoyed cooking
for other people as well as with them. There were two very important people in
my life who introduced me to how great the joy of cooking is.
A very special thing about cooking is that it also helps
bringing the family closer and gives us a chance to spend Quality Time Together.
When I was young I remember sitting in the kitchen
watching my mother cook, it would smell so good. I could always see that shine
of flavors in her eyes. It brought her
so much happiness to be able to cook for us.
She
always put so much love and happiness in the food she cooked that we could
taste it in every spoon we took . What fascinated me the most was that she
never had to measure a thing, she had her own measuring scale in her mind guess
that was first learning class to make fusion food, to be able to make my own
recipes.
The
second person who has inspired me to cook is my husband, not just that he
himself is a great cook apart from being a Microbiologist, he also loves to eat
yummy food 3 times a day, every time a meal is served to him, it should be
presentable, tasty and followed by a sweet dish.
He doesn’t cook every day, only when he feels like cooking or
whenever I am sick, he cooks for me, to please me.
Both my mom and my husband’s styles of cooking is very different. My mom would
cook mostly veggies like turnip greens, okra, potatoes, salads, and our regular
Asian food. All of this we picked and cleaned ourselves. mama would let me sit
and watch her doing stuff and help her a bit , but with my husband treats me as
his assistant, he never allows me to sit peacefully and enjoy my time
My
love for cooking was given to me and I accepted it as the best gift ever. I
remember my first meal that I cooked all by myself at the age of 13 , it was
not good at all. Luckily my Mom allowed me to continue trying to cook. But I
have learned now.
