Cooking With A Purpose

UNITED STATES—When you cook a meal what is your goal? Is it just to have nourishment for the body or do you have purpose. I believe cooking is something that can be a passion for many people.

I’m referring to cooking because it brings you a level of peace or joy. For me, cooking takes me to a happy place. I can get into the zone and nothing more matters except what I’m doing at the moment. Yes, I do believe that saying of time moving a million miles a minute when I’m fully invested in a dish, especially around the holidays.

Food is everywhere that you go.
