The Secrets to Love Cooking
There are things that we want to do and things that we have to do. We want to go for long hikes in the outdoors. We have to eat. If you ask people if they could have one professional service in their life for free, many would say “a professional chef in the home.” Alas, unless you’re planning to become rich and famous, then that won’t be possible. So if you have to do something, it’s a good idea to learn how to love it.
In this post, we’re going to run through some useful tips that’ll ensure you love cooking up a storm in the kitchen
Create the Space
The quality of your kitchen will impact how much you enjoy spending time there. If your kitchen is outdated, dark, and cramped, then you’ll be less inclined to cook compared with if the kitchen was just as you wanted it to be. There are plenty of ways to make big improvements to your cooking space. Things like custom kitchen cabinets won’t just improve the appearance of your kitchen but also make it easier to keep everything organized. If you can let in more natural light into your home, then do so — you’ll love making big breakfasts if the sun is shining through!
Start With a Clean Kitchen
It will be dispiriting to walk into a kitchen in which you intend to cook and see that it’s a mess. You’ll have enough mess to deal with throughout the process of cooking; you shouldn’t start that way! Of course, the easiest way to do this is to make sure that you clean up after every meal that you make. If things aren’t organized or clean, then spend a few minutes taking care of it before you begin slicing and frying. It’ll make the space much nicer to be in.
Easy to Make Recipes
Part of the reason why people don’t like cooking as much as they could do is that they think it’s difficult. But guess what: it’s not! Or at least, it doesn’t have to be. While the sky’s the limit when it comes to complicated meals, there are plenty of easy to make, tasty, and healthy meals that you can prepare in thirty minutes or so. Once you’ve gotten the hang of them, you’ll find that your confidence naturally develops and that you begin to enjoy it more.
Handle the Annoying Parts
If there’s one thing that’ll kill the cooking buzz, it’s taking care of all the dishes afterwards. Clean as you go, and you’ll have a quick post-meal job.
Make It Fun
Finally, why not look at making the cooking process more fun? Cooking will only be a drag if you let it be a drag! If you approach it with a fun mindset, then you’ll be well on your way to having a good time. What does this involve? Playing some music and dancing around the kitchen, opening a glass of wine, and being present in the moment will all help.
I enjoy easy recipes on the weekdays. But on the weekend we make a team effort and try new meal ideas.
