When I was studying Tantra and the Dao of Love, I came across the concept that cooking, like loving, should be seen as art in meditation. That is, that you should give cooking the same calm, meditative concentration that you would give to making love to your beloved, and if you do, the result will be far better tasting than the simple ingredients or recipe can make it. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
I try to approach my cooking this way, but sometimes it is hard when the pressures of time, and health, and emotional issues interfere.

I am a total believer!LOVE is the most important ingredient when you are cooking!Cooking is also creating and in that sense like art work or music...so emotion brings it "to life"

I taste it in fast food all the time. Rush Rush Rush No Time To Simmer Get It Out To The Customer Right Now He Can Not Wait Any More Than Our Marketing Plan Goal Of 5.2 Seconds Per Customer ...
One thing about McDonalds, they are the ones who have the highest success rate with my tastebuds. Burger King eggs have the texture of a sheet being rolled out and folded - McDonalds are real scrambled eggs. Though they may not be. I don't see what goes on behind the front lines. But I do doubt they are mixing the flour and rolling and cutting out the biscuits for fresh baking -
I'm not THAT naive ...
As for private home cooks, Typhoid Mary comes to mind ....
That poor woman LOVED to cook, was never sick, but all the evidence showed, if you ate what she cooked ...
... you got typhoid.

Please compare the food you cooked for yourself and the one you cooked for your lovers, the taste would be totally different. When you're happy and want to share your happiness with others, you will cook quite well unconsciously. On the contrary, you cook impatiently when you're annoyed or worried.
