If only people took the chance to explore how wonderful and releasing a habit this is, I´m sure they would not believe they were capable of feeling so many things all at once. I guess I´m here speaking on my behalf for this needs not necessarily be the case for everyone. It´s just I cannot help thinking what more there´s to cooking than simply mixing ingredients. Personally, I rejoyce to think even of the album I´ll be listening to while cooking; the colour of ingredients; their texture; smell. I make sure the place doesn´t smell of any other thing but of what´s being cooked. At least, until after the meal is over. Fuzzy I know- Also, annecdoticI´ve come to conclude there´s also somenthing about surprise underneath this ritual. By this I mean, I like to think there will be some new personal touch I can add, perhaps to the dish I know best how to cook. I like to think: this time, for this special ocassion, it will have a character of its own. All this being said, one realises this is to a large extent a ritual for one´s own relish, isn´t it? Yet, it so happens, we cannot really make it alone, almost like a performer. Ours is an "unfinished" business without our friends, family or whoever we cook for. Hope I haven´t been a bore! RGDS.

There's nothing that relaxes me more than a few recipes, a full fridge and hours to cook away in the kitchen. I think the focus is very freeing... xox. Emma Jane,

I love to cook for all of the above reasons, too, and also because there's no better way to while away a Saturday afternoon than to be standing at the stove listening to NPR.
