I only became a huge fan of peaches a few years ago when I started roasting them. Hearing the words ‘this is amazing’ was a huge motivator for me to keep spending time in the kitchen when I was learning to cook. To express my love and take care of them.Īs much as I’d like to think that all these lofty benefits were what first got me into cooking, really, it was the praise. Plus it gives me an opportunity to nurture my family and friends. Spending 30 minutes in the kitchen preparing dinner will put me in a much calmer, less frazzled mood than sitting on the couch for the same amount of time. The more I learn about nutrition the more I’ve come to realize that the most important factor for healthy eating is to avoid processed food and focus on using real ingredients.Īnd the best way to do this? Cook for yourself as much as you can. Think of it as a choose your own (tasty) adventure. Love sharp, acidic flavours (like I do)? Then add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon. So it’s easy to make things that are the most delicious to you. You also get to choose the quality of the ingredients. When you’re cooking you get to choose what you make AND what goes into each dish. I adore losing myself in the rituals of chopping, stirring and tasting. I love that cooking give me a chance to be creative and indulge in some ‘play’ time – something we adults could do with a lot more. So let’s get the year started in a positive way with the 5 biggest reasons I just love hanging out in my kitchen (with a baby playing on the floor). And inspire you to enjoy one of (my) life’s biggest pleasures more often. And I still believe in the power of keeping things simple.īut from now on I promise to lead by example. I still believe that delicious, healthy food need not be complicated nor take hours and hours. I’ve been apologizing for asking you to spend time in the kitchen (I did write a whole book of 10-minute recipes) instead of inspiring you to enjoy your time cooking. One of those big ‘lightbulbs-flashing’ realizations.īasically I’ve been doing you a disservice. Last year I had a huge ‘a-ha’ moment about my business and my blog.
