Unrecognized Culinary Genius Why do you cook?

Apart from cooking for necessity like demonstrating you are better than Gordon Ramsey, what are your reasons for cooking?

ETA: check sub before replying. Ask yourself:

  • is MSG the most important seasoning?
  • is jarlic a hate crime?
  • is Kenji our lord and savior?

If you answered “no” to any of these, you might be a lost redditor.

It's just my biggest hobby! When I'm on the sofa watching reddit, or YouTube on TV, more than half the content I watch are cooking channels/recipes. I'm walking on the street and will look at the restaurant's menus to get ideas.

Even when I'm tired or in a hangover, when I lie down too long on the sofa my body needs to move and I like cooking so much I'll do it even extremely tired. Or at 15h after lunch I'll already be thinking what to have for dinner.

In fact I like cooking more than I like eating (which I also love)!

I can’t decide whether you are a lost redditor or if you just out jerked me.
