I cook when I am bored.
I cook when I am anxious.
I cook when I am happy.
I cook and I become happy!
It is widely believed and accepted that cooking is a basic life skill and everybody should know it irrespective of gender and profession and also every adult. My journey of cooking started as a curiosity to recreate my favorite restaurant order and later also as a hobby and eventually a sweet escape from the monotonous life.
No, I do not cook every single day. But have still mastered quite a few basic dishes and a few exotic ones.
The first dish I ever cooked was noodles! And till date that stands to be my most frequently cooked dish. I have come to know more than 10 recipes of noodles itself with some being my own tweaks. Easy to cook, versatile, rich in umami, highly customizable, noodles is one of the dishes that hold a soft spot in my heart always!
Taste being one of the sense organs is a great way to communicate with others. the joy spread by cooking for your loved ones is immense! Back in 2020 when the world was shut down, our kitchen was on overtime. My mother in the day and I in the evening. I would try something new and interesting every other day and my biggest cheerleader would be my father who would praise the food even when it was not my best creation. I idea of cooking and serving brings me joy.
