Cooking can relieved stress

Hi mayrah, you are missing your friend. Cooking was her hobby. She had a magnetic force; you were in the range of that magnetic force. You use to meet, she use too cooks and you use to eat the delicious dishes of her hands. But now she is a teacher. You should approach her and learn the cooking. This may cause to meet you again. You should make a schedule to meet her once in week. You should cook and you both should eat. If you learnt cooking this will make you attractive for her. Yes, this is possible. You can do it.

I never thought of it like that, but I suppose it is true. I'm not a huge fan of cooking myself. I used to cook for a living in the Air Force... for me it just wasn't something I wanted to do on my own time. I suppose if I could get that image of the work aspect out of my head I could buckle down and enjoy it. But I prefer writing when I get stressed. That or knitting. If I'm mad I play the piano. For each person it would be different.

i often find that cooking does relieve stress. i find baking for myself and my family very theraputic (however it is spelt). although i am not sure whether it is the cooking or baking itself or if it is the eating of the food i cook. i love to see other people enjoying my cooking though. i often bake for my husband and son. my son especcially loves it when i bake

No I don't find cooking is a stress reliever for me. Not that I don't like cooking but when I am stressed I would much rather be lazy and not do anything at all, except eat. When I don't feel like cooking my daughter will cook or we just eat something simple, no stress about it. I like cooking though. I like to cook special things that take longer to prepare, things like home made chicken soup or cabbage rolls or perogies. Then I will cook a lot at once and freeze some so we can have it when ever we want it. I don't even buy soups anymore in the store. I cook a pot of home made soup every Saturday, which is today and I have a pot of chicken stock on right now simmering, and I freeze it into little containers and have it every day when I get home from work. I get home from work around 3 in the afternoon and it is too early to eat dinner and I am always a little hungry so I have some soup to tide me over till dinner. I have been doing this for about the last 5 years and just the other week I heard on the Doctor Oz show that we should always eat a little bowl of soup before our meals so we will eat less when we have our meal because we won't be so hungry. So I have been doing something right all these years and didn't know it. lol So to answer your question, no I don't find that cooking is a stress reliever for me but I do enjoy cooking. Good luck my friend and happy mylotting Chris

hi mayrah I like to cook too but just for myself as I dislike a lot of mean comments on the way I cook. I do it for myself, rather I should say I did it for my self . NOw I am in this tiresome retirement center and have to eat or not eat what they serve us. no more of my special spaghetti and meat balls with lots of good tomato sauce with lots of garlic and basil, oregano, and majoram in it.But no cooking is not what relieves my stress. mylotting is really.

Hi, For me,when I am having any stress, I won't choose cooking as a way for me to relieve my stress,but then I will either sleep or out for shopping to relieve my stress. I do love cooking and I do cooking everyday for my family. But my cooking skill is not that good and I really need to learn more in order to cook more nice foods. Since you miss your friend alot,then give her a call or either chat with her online.

Yeah she said right thing to you ... But not all the time cooking can give you relief as it may be it's your need and you have come from so much stressfull work ...that it won't give you any. But most of the time it can relieved stress and make you ready for some new session of work like eating too...lol I also like to cook some time and feel very nice after cooking but you know I eat that food like duty ... so thinking to eat after cooking gives me much stress... Thanks...

I bake sometimes to relieve stress. I'm not a very good cook, though. My dad, on the other hand, loves to cook to relieve stress. He'll often make salsa or sushi, and he tries to make new stuff all the time. He thinks it's a ton of fun. I'm sorry you don't get to see your friend often- that's always hard.

I love to cook too. I would like to learn a lot but I dont have time to learn. It's really great being able to cook a food that a lot of people will appreciate. when I get older and I have all the free time in the world this is something that I would like to learn and just cook for my family..

i really do love to cook, it isn't because the fact that it relaxes me but i truly do enjoy cooking. Obviously as i am a single parent i make sure that myself and my son eat properly, i cook everyday and yes i guess sometimes i do get stresed and yet i do feel as though cooking does relax me. It is just like i enter my own world when i start to cook. So i guess it seems that if you ever are stressed and feel stressed then it is best to get into that kitchen and start to cook, i guess if you take your cooking seriously then you will get plenty of enjoyment and you will completely forget about all the stress that you have.

yes cooking helps me get ride of stress but only when, i can alone so i can make anything i want.

Yes I really agree with that! Instead of cooking, I like to bake cookies and cakes. I don't really like to spend whole day reading my books. I'll get some time to do things that I enjoy most. Haha, maybe I enjoy both eating too.

Yes, I also prefer cooking to relieved my stress.When I think about food and makes it better on taste I forgot everything.The procces to prapare the food is dificult and takes your immagination all around it.I felt that way,don`t know about you.:)

i have a terrible cooking level. but i like cooking very much. I do that for fun ,also for relieved stress. miss your friend? just call her and eating together. and try your best to cook delicious food for he. i think that everything will be fine.

I am not a regular cook! but now having read your posting, I think I cook every time when I am having some stress.I just ask my wife to take rest for some time and ask her to permit me to use her kitchen for a while. I then prepare some non vegetarian dish which I am fond of. Mainly I prepare this for my wife and son, than myself, because they like my cooking. I enjoy the process of cooking. In fact now I feel because we forget every thing around us while cooking, we concentrate on cooking which involves many steps and needs lot of skill, concentration and imagination. I use different spices and different vegetables and every time I come up with a different style of cooking which makes me happy and the cooking event becomes a celebration for me. The only problem which my wife faces is that, she always complains that I make the cooking platform dirty and I leave it in too messy state. Now I feel proud to say that I have learnt how to keep the platform clean while cooking. So,in nutshell I love cooking and I love my family members enjoying the food cooked by me. Now having gone through your discussion I realised that cooking can be a real stress relieving act!Very soon I am going to make some new dish, if I feel stressed! LOL ! Thanks for initiating such a nice topic of discussion!

Hi there. I love to cook. used to. I would agree that cooking help me reduce stress. I used to cook a lot all the time since I am involve in a successful job. Now I have reduce the cooking to reduce stress, since now I have diabetes due to the cooking which cause me to eat after cooking :). Now I only cook on special occasion. Am still looking for thing to do to reduce my stress, started to smoke more and that is even worst.

Yes it is, but the weather should also suit. if its highly sweating i hate to cook. I love rainy or winter season, where I can remain warm by standing in front of the gas stove cooking exotic dishes.

Oh?What is the principle on it?Cooking is really relieve stress of humans?It is meaningful for me to know the function of cooking.I think that I will have a try when i have some stress on me.

Yup is a lot of stress that you can respite your mind cause you will focus to the ingredient to get the food yummy

For me it may help in releasing your stress if you are used to it. Me too I love cooking but if I'm not in the mood to cook I could not make as good as when I am inspired to do it. People who loves cooking normally cook a perfect taste of food.
