Learning how to cook is a life saver in every way. It is a basic strategy that also benefits your pocket. In the article "The Benefits Of Learning To Cook" by Michelle, he lists reasons why people should cook at home more often. One can save so much money by preparing and eating his/her own meals rather than spending money on foods in restaurants. Sure it costs money to buy the ingredients as well however proportion wise, the amount of food one could cook with the money to buy one meal could be double the proportion. This eliminates any kind of service fees as well that could've been added to the expenses of eating out. Comparing a basic PB&J sandwich made at home to a juicy steak bought at any restaurant would make the steak much more tempting and an easier option. However just because it is the easier option, it doesn't make it the better option. Cooking skills are just like a muscle that will expand and grow over time with practice. This will also increase your creativity level my mixing in desired ingredients and will get the food exact to your liking. It's not only the cheaper option but also the healthier one. Not every plate comes with a list of ingredients and quantities or salt or other chemicals added. Fast foods usually grease up their foods or add more salt or other chemicals to make it more flavorful and more appealing, however this is not beneficial to your body. Because there is no nourishing factors in grease, it can cause one to gain an insignificant amount of weight and could lead to further health problems.However in cooking at home one can control every single ingredient and chemical being added to their meal to make it healthier and more nutritious.

ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you said about cooking. It eliminates additional fees we don't to pay, it expands the boundaries of our creative thinking, it is cheaper, and it is controllable. However, you are missing the best aspect of cooking: Cooking is fun. Cooking allows us to be creative with our food, especially since there are infinite possibilities and products you can create using food. There are the Gordon Ramsay's in the world, but cooking allows you to channel your inner Gordon Ramsay and become a creative chef in your own kitchen. So next time you cook, have fun! Experiment with different foods, or just make something good like creamy scrambled eggs. Anything is possible, you just have to explore your creativity.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with what you are talking about. My mother would always tell me how she will cook more for us rather than going out to eat because it will save up a lot more money. Though it may be inefficient, tiring, and time consuming, cooking can be fun, enjoyable , and beneficial. Just like you said, cooking at home rather than eating out in a fast food is healthier. However, it will only be healthy if you have healthy ingredients to cook with. If you were to cook for the sole purpose of being healthy, then make sure that you have healthy ingredients because if not then you might as well go to a fast food restaurant. But if you solely did it to save money then cooking is the best way to go.
