Can you live without a Kitchen? Means without preparing food!!!!!!

Well, I can hardly imagine that! For me, good taste is a very important aspect when I am having a meal. Most of the time, I would take account of the taste of foods before the health benefits. And I don't see anything wrong of it. If I am going to eat things completely on health benefits, I think I am going to hate eating in just a few days. It's totally practical that we can keep the nutrients of food without sacrificing their good taste. That depends on how we cook them. If handled properly, food can be delicious as well as healthy. And at the same time, cooking itself is a pleasure. Life would be dull if there is no pleasure of eating and cooking. After all, life is a thing to be enjoyed, I wouldn't do anything to destroy my life. Making yourselves content is the most important.

Hi didi I see that soon the bird in that avatar will be without GRASS That guy mentioned those only for the sake of the discussion. No one can live without those tasty yummy dishes... Either he is Baba Ramdev or a Scam. Do you really believe such a guy who has never tasted those street side foods? Even I was without kitchen eating all the food only from Restaurants, roadside hotels and Thelas(vendors who sell food on trolleys) and never needed a Kitchen. he does exactly that

Personally I could not imagine not having a kitchen. When we travel and have to stay in a hotel room, we usually try to get one with a Microwave and a Refridgerator in it if possible so that we can save a little from having to go out to eat all the time. I have lived in places though in the past with not much of a kitchen and it was not fun. If I was rich I would eat out all the time, but since I'm not a kitchen is a much needed source.

I am a homely person who likes to experiment on new recipes and my kitchen is my paradise. A house, no matter how beautiful it is, is not complete without a kitchen. My new house has a dry and wet kitchen in the original plan given by the developers. I have to do away with two kitchens and renovated my house with only one kitchen where I can do all my cooking and baking. I am a strong advocate of healthy eating but at the same time I want my foods to be tasty and appetizing. I do not believe in leaving out some ingredients in the name of healthy diet. Home-cooked foods are always the preferred choice as we put in the best and freshers ingredients for our family.

well, not all people like to cook, so for those who does not want to cook I guess they can always purchase from outside or eat raw foods or try something else which does not require the to cook. Lke myself, I can eat all those healthy uncooked food as long as they were prepared for me... I do not need or want to experience on my foods. SO I guess I am in the club of people who can live without a kitchen...

Hello Sreekala, Hope you are doing good. At this point of life and with the type of lifestyle I (we) are living, I (we) cannot imaging living without a kitchen. It is a part of house and one can live without even toilets, but not without a kitchen. Yes, long back ago, in my own village we had had kitchen but not the toilets. Every home was like that at that time, but now all of them have toilets too. So, we can live without toilets, but not without kitchen. It is good to follow a diet schedule and eat healthy good food, but that too needs instruments like knife, plates, bowl, etc. which needs to be placed in Kitchen. I healthy food like boiled eggs, boiled rice, boiled vegetable or anything is in my diet, then also I need to boil it which can be done only in the kitchen where I have my gas stove and other kitchen equipments. So, I cannot imagine life without kitchen.

Hi Sree! It is really very difficult for us (read me) to live without home cooked food. I need it to survive. Simple meal of chapati and lentils/pulses and some cooked vegetable are suffice for me. I just cannot survive merely eating sprouts, fruits, coconut, pepper and fruits etc. I think those who could survive are special category of people or may they are too lazy to cook. Have a nice evening.

I love home cooked food and would never close my kitchen for anything in the world. It is only when guests arrive unexpectedly that I would order from out. If guests give us sufficient notice it is a joy to try out various dishes. I love cooking provided there is someone to help me with the chopping and cleaning.

I can live without a kitchen but I'll definitely buy cooked food.I'm a rice eater and my day will not be complete without rice.I have tried uncooked food like salads and fresh fruits but I think I can't stand from it for more than 3 days.I tried to practice healthy eating habits like low fat,low salt and low sugar meals,vegetables and fruits as possible but definitely can't live on uncooked food alone.

For I think but I think I am not in the disposition of quitting of one the most nicest things of the world, for me sleep and eat are the most greatful things in the world, I wouldn't do that. To be healthy I can eat tasty things and stay healthy at the same time. We only have to follow the pyramid of food and will be happy and healthy .

Ohhhhhhhh God without food fanta will die. No can live without food every day at least 2 to 3 times meals are necessary for me dear sree. Fanta cant live without going into the Kitchen daily morning kitchen daily night kitchen hahaha..

Definitely I cant !!!. I love cooking very much. In our place kitchen has been a great place. I would always prefer Vegetarian foods always which keeps us always healthy and fit.

If we plan to build a house first we think of the kitchen,where and how the kitchen make it is most important in a house. Now a days all are busy they won't get enough time to make food by themselves so they are rush to the hotels or any other food items shop.Absolutely i can't follow a completely on health benefits and sacrifice those tasty foods.

For me, I always need a kitchen. To cook water, because I need hot water to make a hot milk or coffee. To boil some eggs, to saute some vegetables, to cook some soup. But for some people, just like my friend who lives in Germany, maybe they will not need any kitchen. He only eats raw vegetables and raw fruit. For hot water, I think they will use water dispenser. In my opinion, the vegetables is not healthy to be eaten raw. For example, white vegetable (in Chinese name: Pek Cay). It contains a cold energy. Must be cook together with ginger, due ginger brings hot/warm energy to improve your blood circulation. Another example, for woman who just deliver baby, she will need some food contains lots of herbs to stop the bleeding and restore her stamina. And this kind of food need to be boiled for a long time. So...I can"t believe if people says they do not need any kitchen. And I do not believe eating raw food is healthy and tasty.

Hiya sreekala, Really hard to live without a Kitchen as we know it especially when it comes to having to cook Food. I really don´t see most People following a Diet like that one not that it is a bad one but it would not be my ideal one for a start. I have lived with two or three very bad kitchens that were in very bad state but I had to manage to live with them and make the best of them. One for example only had one cold tap and I had to borrow Gas Tanks from other People to be able to use one of those old Gas Cooker portable ones you know with Rings from before. But I was so thankful that I had what I had as there was nothing else and I put up with that for three years. I did not have a Washer or a Fridge in that Kitchen but I did produce some very good Food and also it did not have any outside Windows only two very old Windows that overlooked an interior Patio of a House. If the Gas Board had caught me using that kind of Gas they would not have given me a Contract you see but I was very careful to open the Windows and the Door and I could not cook things that took a long time to make either. I had to wash all things by hand and I had my first Son very small so you can imagine. Most times the Water Pipe burst and left me without Water for the Weekend lol. Thank goodness I had his Mother´s House to be able to go and have a Wash in the Clothes had to wait till Monday or Tuesday of the next week of course and also the pressure of the Tap was very poor too.xxx

My dear, I think I can't live without a kitchen, if I were to only have sprouts, fruits, coconut, salt and pepper, I don't think I can survive with that, at least my son cannot live with that. He doesn't like vegetable especially when it is raw. It is hard to get him to eat vege unless it is really cooked and soften. It is really rare people who can really live just depend on those few foods without cooking. At least cooked food is more healthy and free of bacterias. If a person said he doesn't need a cooked food, I probably think that he do not know to enjoy life and he will miss a lot of nice cooked foods. At least it is true for me that I enjoy cooked foods very much.

Maybe they are enjoying salads to follow strict dieting. When you say not preparing it means like nuts that go directly to the mouth. However, with fruits you can dip into salts then take it as is and there are those that also add pepper to salts to make it even spicy to use as dipping. We have differences when it comes to likes and dislikes. They want their food raw maybe to be sure that the vitamins and nutrients are not destroyed which happens in cooking. Also depending on our own culture how we prepare our foods. But for me, I love to follow real sumptuous dishes which happens only in following cooking recipes. And when I want fresh then it is my favorite salad.

i don't like cooking much, though i don't mind if someone else does it, but as, at the moment, no one else does, i try to minimise cooking as much as i can. so i tend to eat a lot of fruit, but i actually like it, i don't think a healthy diet need involve giving up tasty foods, there are a lot of very nice tasting spices that are also very healthy. it seems like this was a very polarised debate, as it is easy, if you do your own cooking to have a healthy diet with a lot of tasty foods, from natural flavourings.

I share the opinion. If you just eat fruit, all kinds of you are very healthy and you don't have a lack of anyting. You won't feel the need to eat candies/sweet stuff, you are surely not fat. Those tasty foods you mention are just additives, stuff added to the (fast) food so you will keep eating it. It's nothing your body really needs. And fact is that if you do eat healthy you won't long for it anymore eiether. So no you don't need a kitchen to cook (most things/kind of food cooked in kitchen is not healthy anyway). Nevertheless I still would make me a hot tea or so once in a while so I would like to have something to heat it on. I think many people with very large/expensive kitchens are seldom using it for real cooking. It's more like a showroom.

Oh my god. It's very difficult to follow uncooked diet. But if we take till the limit it won't cause any problems. And more over body needs some oils for healthiness. It's good we include good food to our diet but no need to eliminate cooking . Anything that in limited quantities won't harm.
