For your friends, for your family, and especially for yourself. It is art you can eat and a way to feel productive while enjoying yourself. Baking is my mortal enemy though, I always mess something up and ruin it.
Cooking as an activity with friends is so underrated especially with the big light off and some ambient lighting for dinner and some nice music playing. A soft moment to talk and have fun, plus a tasty reward afterwords. It fills my soul to cook for other people.
something about cooking is just so peaceful. monotonous and obligatory, sure, but it’s just a little sliver of calmness in my day that reminds me of when i did it with my mom or my dad or my grandmother. i now love to cook for myself but especially for other people
Maybe the robots will kill me first for saying this, but I hate AI. It’s a threat to creativity and our function as a species. Also, cheating isn’t cool.
