@skinnylatte I love when people express this perspective.

I don't have a green thumb but I can cook. I think the time feels like a way of honoring the fact that you're transmuting life into a new life giving form.

It feels like people associate a love of food as hedonistic but I think it's a way to acknowledge all that goes into the ingredients. When it's "just fuel" it feels stark and survivalist.

Cooking can feel devotional.
