To me, cooking is therapeutic.
The joy of starting from scratch with raw ingredients, and making it into something that is eatable and liked by all can easily fill me with joy! The stress-ness that came from other issues in life, seemed to disappear when something nice is cooking in the kitchen! :)
The process itself, though at times is time consuming and tiring. The trial and error of making something, numerous fails of one single dish, but at the end of the day, all it takes is just one smile and one sentence of someone saying "I love it", and all the hard work is just worth it.
I guess this applies for any other thing? People tend to see things based on monetary value. But at the end of the day, isn't the appreciation of others on your hard work better than anything else in the world?
Maybe it's just me :)
