How Learning To Cook Can Boost Your Creativity

Cooking is one of my greatest passions and I started learning cooking when I joined college at 17 – to survive. Ever since my journey for cooking began I traveled many miles, cooked many meals and experienced a number of cuisines.

Along this journey of food I have learned a few things about cooking and its process, and the kind of impact it has on our body, soul and mind during bad times and good times. Food is the most necessary things for your need of survival and almost every big event in our lives revolve around it.

It plays an important role in the development of social relationships and interactions. For me food is a sacred process of making and insightful. Even though I’m not a pro at cooking, neither I got some training for it but cooking has become a joyful passion for me.
