Cooking for yourself completely takes away from the Joy of Cooking. I love to be around others and create an experience in the process of building a table full of food. I understand why Chefs decide to pay for an education in culinary. I could never take cooking or baking that seriously but I enjoy the outcome and sharing that accomplishment with others. There is a feeling that you get that is unexplainable.
Needless to say cooking a meal for yourself regardless of how beautiful and amazing it is does not feel the same. Today I learned that I am motivated by others energy and produce a product so to speak that is a result of that interaction.
My mother always tells me that her food is so good because she pours a lot of love into it. I believe that is truly part of it but so is chemistry and not measuring! Its true every great chef is happy to share their recipe or ingredients that they use but good luck on any sort of measurements included in that recipe. I can do that sometimes but a true chef can do that any time anywhere with the ingredients that happen to be in the vicinity.
