Question:

How do I start to enjoy cooking? I want to love cooking, but I just don't.

— Rhonda Armitage

Answer:

I guess the best way to be able to start enjoy cooking. If you don't at the moment is cook for other people. I think that one of the best Joys that I get out of cooking is serving people and especially my family and family members to be able to see the joy that it brings them and that definitely brings me Julie. So, um, you know, I love cooking for family and friends because what to smile on their face and that really helps me. So I think that's probably the best way to kind of start out with it. And then if you're just cooking for yourself, you know, think about those dishes you could be working on for other people as well at the same time and then really looking at other flavors to be able to help you out. If you enjoy watching, you know other people cook instead cooking yourself, maybe try replicating some of those recipes that you're seeing another places or taking a different spin on those to be able to get that level of achievement that you feel at home, you know, but I probably would say the best way to to get the joy out of cooking is to cooking cook for other people and see the joy that brings them. Hope that helps and happy cooking.
