Can you think of any better task than cooking? Time in the kitchen can be therapeutic and a lot of fun. Whether it’s tossing a fresh salad, searing a tuna steak, or baking a delicious confectionery, cooking feels like a labor of love. Why do you love cooking? Maybe you can identify with some of the reasons below?

#1 It’s simply delicious.

Food is wonderful and sitting down to a healthy, delicious, homemade meal in the company of friends and family is a special experience that so many people take for granted. Food brings people together to experience flavors, aromas, and textures that delight the senses.

What are your favorite taste sensations? Do you like the sharp pinch of a fiery chili? The rich flavor of a grilled fillet? Maybe you enjoy the smoked taste of salmon? There is so much variety to food and life. Food just makes life delicious, don’t you agree? Every day can be a taste adventure if you want it to be, all it takes is a little time and some fresh ingredients.

#2 Cooking soothes the soul

Ever come home from a hard day, feeling flat and energyless? Getting going in the kitchen revitalizes the soul and freshens you up as the smells and sounds of cooking fill the air. When you cook, you cook. Take this saying to heart and focus only on your cooking and the task at hand. Watch your worries and problems melt away in a delicious lemon butter sauce as it simmers on the stove.

#3 Fun in the kitchen

The kitchen is your playground. It’s a place to experiment and have fun. Food is all about enjoying life. Creating in the kitchen without any pressure or commitment, this is your time to let your hair down and go as wild as you want with the ingredients. Cooking with flair captures the mind and puts you in a flow state where anything is possible, you are only limited by your imagination.

#4 It’s great for your health

Cooking at home has its health benefits, if you find you are running out of ideas, then all you need to do is take inspiration from others. Cooking is about sharing and all it takes is reading through a couple of good books to find some new ideas including these 10 great options to inspire you in the kitchen and in life.

To get better at cooking, do more cooking. Your love for it will grow with every meal and every hour you spend in the kitchen.

#5 The gratitude from friends & family

Then there’s the praise. People love good cooking, who doesn’t? Cooking is a joy for your friends and family. When you are preparing food for those you love, it’s always a special experience that pushes your culinary skills to new levels.

All the time spent in the kitchen is well-rewarded when you sit down to eat and the compliments start to flood in. While cooking is not to stroke the ego, it helps when people appreciate your efforts.
