the feeling of cooking.......

I have passion for cooking!!! In fact so much, that people in the grocery store will hear me speak to someone about food, or what I am preparing that night and they will come up and ask me for help. They will tell me about a party they are having and ask me to give them tips as to what to serve. Sometimes I will go around with them in the grocery store and help them pick out their meals and tell them what to get and then after about an hour passes by, I will realize that I forgot to get the things that I needed for my dinner. lol... But I never regret it. I get such a "high" when I can help people prepare a nice meal for their family and their guests. It makes me feel really good and I will do over and over again, if someone needs my help!

Oh yes I agree cooking can be absolutely relaxing... a real stress buster. I love cooking and trying out new dishes. I love to send it across to friends too or have them over for a meal. I love chinese and like trying a stir fry recipe from here once a while either veg or non veg http://www.ifood.tv/network/chicken_stir_fry/recipes

I actually feel more like you do when I am baking....cooking is okay but baking for me is truly fun....and relaxing.

i think you are really interested in cooking and hence it works as a stress relief for you. for me it is as usual and i have to cook daily my meals and for my family and it is just a routine for me and i am not so interested in cooking but it is fine i just do it and sometimes i really get bored and i dont feel like cooking and then we go out. but cooking daily is really boring for sometimes eating outside is really nice and i like it but unfortunately in germany we dont eat more in restaurants or so but we sometimes have in kebap corners and i feel it is ok and not so good. but i do try some of the new things which my husband also like it.

I love to cook too. It's fun to try to create that 'next great recipe'. It is a great stress buster, isn't it? I love the seasons too, because each season has foods that are unique to it. You know, like the 1st soup of the winter, or the 1st cookout of the spring. It's never boring! What you need to find is a room mate or partner who gets equal pleasure out of washing dishes and cleaning up...lol.

o my we are in the same group. cooking makes me feel happy also. i get this feeling of deep satisfaction when i see people eating and enjoying the food that i have cooked. my love of cooking started when i was very young and i love doing it

I like to cook but not as much as you do. When I cook though after everything is done and set. I can't eat it anymore because I am already full of just cooking the food. I love cooking during the holidays. I don't tire of it.

Hi jamesgrub. I like to cook usually. Sometimes it's nice to eat someone elses cooking tho. But, when I'm cooking something new and different, it's fun and I really enjoy it. I always feel good when I fix a new recipe and it turns out good and my husband tells me it was really good. That makes me feel special.
