Cook like Jamie Oliver

“Cooking is one of the oldest arts and one that has rendered us the most important service in civic life.” -Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)

This quote itself suggests a reason why one should learn to cook. People who never learn to cook are missing out on a great opportunity to learn one of the most valuable skills. Cooking is an important skill that everyone should acquire. The time spent learning how to cook will not be wasted at all. And cooking is not as difficult as you think. It can be so much fun to master the culinary arts. Learning to cook is worth a try!

1. Auto connection

Why depend on other people when you can cook a sumptuous meal on your own? No matter where you go, you have the freedom to cook when and how you want. Learning to cook is especially helpful if you have certain dietary restrictions, as you can control all the ingredients you use.

2. Comfort and taste

Are you hungry in the wee hours of the morning? You have the convenience of cooking a quick and healthy meal to satisfy your hunger at any time. Best of all, you are in full control of the flavor and can adjust it to your liking.

3. Helps control weight

Going on a diet implies strict control in the choice of food. It’s easier to manage your caloric intake if you have control over the ingredients in your food, which is difficult to do when eating out. Cut down on unnecessary oil and salt for a healthier meal.

4. Sense of satisfaction

Cooking for yourself and your loved ones can create a great sense of satisfaction. Adding a little garnish and taking a beautiful photo for your Instagram will surely garner a lot of great comments from your friends.

5. Save money

Eating out can be expensive and will most likely be cheaper if you do it yourself. Choose ingredients based on your budget and you’ll be surprised that the same dish served at your local restaurants may even taste better.

6.Fun

Who says cooking is boring? The cooking process may be more enjoyable than you think. Cook with your friends or your loved ones and you will definitely leave great memories. There can also be lots of fun times if one of your friends is a hobby cook!

7. Impress your date

There is no better way to impress your date than to cook a delicious and romantic dinner. Cooking something they love shows that you know them and what they like, and doing it yourself shows that you care enough to go out of your way to make them happy.
