Is cooking a form of activity where you can release stress or emotional stings? How do you handle the taste of the food if not you're in good shape?

I love to cook a lot for my family and friends. And even when I"m not in good shape, I"m able to do my cooking. Not as good as when I'm happier and feeling good but when you love what you do, and you know how to do it. You can turn on the auto pilot! hehehe, I know someone that if she's not in the mood to cook, whatever she cook, she put too much salt of fish sauce, so it is saltier! like the taste of tears!!!

This is a good question. I lose mood to cook when I be in a bad bood. I like to eat a lot when I am in a bad mood. So, I prefer to buy food from outside during those days. I prefer to buy food from out, take it home, and then eat. Sometimes I will be in a good mood to cook and I don't think it has a connection with my happy mood. I like to cook when I am normally happy. If I am too happy, I prefer to go out and have food a couple of drinks.

I love to cook when i am happy. i am more excited about what i am making in the kitchen when i am in a good mood. i don't like to cook when i am sad. I just don't get the same joy from cooking when i am depressed or feeling disillusioned. The kitchen is a happy place for me. i don't like it when sadness intereferes.

I like to cook whether I am sad or happy because I love cooking though I don't cook delicious food.If I am sad I used to cook alone with singing so that I will forget my sadness.I will engage with work and my sadness will forget, but if I eat when I am sad I am not getting the taste of my food.If my food is not in good shape it will not taste good but I will eat, shape less are not a taste less.

Generally, I am good cook at my home , every time I have to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner all alone because I don't have my Mom, as she expired when I was a student. In my case it depends of my mood ,I used to cook good and delicious dish. when I feel relaxed and happy I used to prepare different kinds of dishes, if sad than just single curry and rice.

Cooking can be very therepuetical, nothing better than pounding bread dough to loosen up the old aggression!!

I don't think anyone can cook better when sad or stressed out. But maybe it can relieve stress if you love what you are cooking.

Yes I like to cook when I am happy. I cook for my parents and I cooks their favorite food. My parents likes to cooking but my brother don't like it. He wants to eat from moms hand only. He says lots of things when I cooks and give lot of complains on food. I really hate those who complains on food. I don't cook when I am sad, What I do was I just lockup myself in my bed room and write something in my diary. My diary is my best friend. Whenever I am happy I share my happiness with diary and whenever I am sad I share my sorrows with my diary.

I like to cook when I am happy and I can't cook when I am sad.Its like you should have some interest and love to do this job,it enhances the taste but if I cook when I am sad then the things turn the other way.
