1) I cook because it's valuable to me to be able to "provide" my own food, and know what I ingest. Additionally I cook because I believe it's generally more healthy, and with less "short cuts" than take-out or frozen food.
2) I have 5-6 different "recipes" or meals that I know how to cook and usually I cook these one or more times during the week. But generally I decide on my way back from work, with not much planning.
3) I cook lots of curries. Indian curries with tomatoes, chickpeas, onions, coconut milk, rice, garlic, chilis. Thai curries with brocolli, coconut milk, garlic, etc.
4) I am a vegetarian.
5) My absolutely best life hack for cooking, is doing together with someone. Cooking with a friend, or even for a friend, is so much more satisfying and rewarding than doing it alone. If you struggle to cook meals for yourself; team up with a coworker, friend, girlfriend or whatever!
- dominotw 12y agoI cook indian food too but my apartment always ends up smelling like a curry den. American kitchens are not particularly well designed for ethnic cooking.
- radicaledward 12y agoInteresting! What should be changed about American kitchen design to fix this problem? Is it possible to fix this issue without rebuilding the entire house?
- Smirnoff 12y agoNo doors or windows in the house to let the smell escape :) On a serious note -- kitchens need to have a door (and not be connected to dining rooms or living rooms without doors). That way smell stays in the kitchen and escape through a separate kitchen-to-street ventilation system.
- radicaledward 12y agoAh yes. I can't think of the last time I was in a house that had doors to the kitchen that close.
- Cherian 12y agoI am an Indian. And curries smell.
