Eating ready-made meals is about being very passive, and actively cooking is something that nothing compares to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are people who claim to be instinctive cooks, who never follow recipes or weigh anything at all. All I can say is they're not very fussy about what they eat. For me, cooking is an exact art and not some casual game.
I think my cooking these days is a lot more relaxed from when I was working in professional kitchens. Spending time in people's kitchens made me realize that people want to eat healthy meals that are easy to prepare, with minimal ingredients that can be made on a budget.
Usually, one's cooking is better than one thinks it is.
Preparing food is not just about yourself and others. It is about everything!
My goal in 'Live to Cook' is to make great food more approachable for home cooks.
Eating is so intimate. It's very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you're inviting a person into your life.
When I first started to cook, I would cook these elaborate meals, but I rarely cook at home now.
Food, to me, is always about cooking and eating with those you love and care for.
Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.
The most I like about cooking is eating what someone else has cooked.
