I am going to describe a person who enjoys cooking for others and that person is clearly my mom. She is a retired nurse and even in her 60s she spent about 4 to 5 hours in a day cooking for us. Sometimes even she cooked 2 to 3 times in a day preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner. She is a truly talented cook. She learned how to cook on her own. Regarding countless books, she learned time to numerous numbers of recipes and watching many YouTube videos to develop her own unique style. She always had her own personal tasks to every dish she prepared. She really enjoys cooking for us because she always tells me that healthy and delicious food are essential for a happy family. As I mentioned earlier, she is a talented cook because she knows how to handle ingredients. She always chooses fresh vegetables, fresh meat and so on. She is always very skillful handling spice because you know spice and flavor are crucial. If you add too much or too little, the taste won’t be the same as intended. Despite the fact, cooking can be overwhelming. She told me that her tiredness disappears when she sees us enjoying her meal. In addition to her cooking skill, she is also very good at presentation. Her dishes are always mouthwatering because she knows how to present things beautifully with decoration.
