”This is my advice to people: Learn how to cook, try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun”-Julia Child

 

 

Why cook?


Why cook when i can get a hot plate of mom's homemade tasty food on my bed?

Why cook when there is a deli right across the corner?

Why cook when i have a food coupon lying around for days?


Cooking is not something you are born with.it is something you learn and develop and master.for most people it is taught and passed on by someone you love.maybe it was your granny,maybe it was your special someone,or maybe you learned it watching television.the wonder of cooking is that those lessons remain in your memories forever.because when you replicate the dishes,those taste buds take you down a magic memory lane into a fantasy you never wish to come out of.that is why cooking is so much more than a hobby or passion.

There can be many reasons for you not to cook your own food.the most common reason is i do not have the time.i mean really? you cannot manage 30 minutes a day aside to cook your own food? another reason is that you already have someone else doing your cooking while you cannot get your lazy ass out of bed.how long do you think this is going to happen.being food dependent is the worst thing i can imagine because you are relying on someone else to serve you food.

i am not asking you to become a good cook right away.i am asking you to start by just cutting vegetables for your wife,or boiling a few potato's for your mom.that is a really good start.


i will explain you some really good benefits of cooking food for yourself in the next article.

 

Prevention’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Study (NHANES) to find out whether the link between healthier diets and frequency of home cooking can be documented scientifically.
As part of the NHANES data gathered between 2007 and 2010, approximately 9,500 adults 20 and older were asked about their cooking habits. Researchers found that households that reported cooking dinner at home most frequently (6 to 7 times a week) consumed “significantly fewer” calories and ate better than those who relied more heavily on restaurant meals and frozen foods.
The researchers found that 8 percent of adults lived in households in which someone cooked dinner no more than once a week; 44 percent cooked dinner 2 to 5 times a week; and 48 percent reported cooking dinner 6 to 7 times a week. Compared to the low-cooking category, those in the high-cooking category consumed significantly more fiber, fewer carbohydrates, and less sugar.
