Like many other teenagers my age, there is nothing I enjoy more after a long, cold and hard day in college than coming home to a warm meal. However we are at a point in our life where we start to gain independence and there is no better place to start than in the kitchen. One of the only places where all are welcome. No matter the age. No matter the gender. No matter the skill.
As a student myself I understand firsthand the stress entangled with the leap from college to university where we can no longer rely on our parents to feed us every night. However cooking acts as a creative outlet allowing our body to relieve stress in an almost therapeutic way.
You may be thinking why bother learning to cook independently when I can order a takeaway instead? Cooking releases endorphins into the body through physical activity and who wouldn't want to end the day on a good note. Don't forget it's a vital life skill as well!
Home cooked meals bring an irreplaceable sense of comfort like the memories you have of your grandparents cooking for you during your childhood. Who says you can't have the same feeling when you become the household chef? Cooking doesn't have to be time consuming or difficult but simple and enjoyable.
Let's enjoy having a positive mindset around healthy meals together. Lets enjoy the new flavours. Don't settle for the same 5 meals on repeat when there are so many more dishes out there.
From preparing to cook alone to discovering healthy meal prep , Flavour Fiesta will take you on a journey of independence through the creation of food.
