I think in cooking, there is a joy that comes from the raw, fresh ingredients themselves. If you ever watch videos of Gordon Ramsay buying ingredients at Borough Market you see the passion he feels for fresh produce or a perfect piece of fish. I very much share in that. I've tried to learn how to cook light and fragrant Vietnamese and Thai dishes lately. Coming home with grocery bags full of fresh lemon grass, thai basil and vegetables is just really satisfying in its own right and motivates to cook.
