meditative stirring, chopping, layering of ingredients (I often go for a ratatouille when Iβm having a bad day because itβs a lot of prep) you get time to be distracted or reflective and get something nourishing at the end of it. might involve a trip to the store but that can be cleansing in its own way.
Yesterday I made a delicious chicken piccata and shared it with my roommates and it was a really special moment! It was delicious and I made it completely from scratch. I think that the art of cooking is so important, once you really get a hand of it you can prepare delicious healthy whole foods efficiently cheaply and sustainably! For me cooking is my hobby and one of my passions so I can understand how taking a leap into it can be hard but I always say cook more and your community will tighten around you. Itβs worth the effort! :))))
Get all your friends together and just take pictures, dress up or make a photo booth ass setup. itβs fun to play supermodel or magazine photographer for a night. no one will ever know you arent the real deal, also, no one cares!
