Title: The Joy of Cooking: More Than Just Survival
I know this isn’t the perfect title or the right place for this discussion, but I’ve been reflecting on why I find so much joy in cooking. I have a roommate who eagerly tastes my creations, and I always let her know when I’ve saved some food for her to try—especially things I’ve prepared for lunch. Sometimes, I even whip up dinner for both of us to enjoy.
I realize part of the reason I do this is to showcase my cooking skills and perhaps to seek a bit of approval. I’m curious if anyone else feels this way—do you cook to impress or gain validation? Is it wrong to enjoy cooking for those reasons?
Aside from that, I love cooking because it lets me express my creativity, experiment, and learn new techniques.
Just a quick note: my roommate is more like a sister to me; I’m not romantically interested in her at all, as we’ve known each other for nearly two decades.
TL;DR: Cooking brings me joy beyond necessity, allowing for creativity while also offering a chance to share my skills.
