Whether cook and eat food at home or go our for cooking? The age of technology has led to the mechanization of daily chores that were once done manually. Today a broad range of equipments such as mixer, grinder, washing machines have captured the great amount of work that was once done by hand. Even when automized support has shed human effort in every walk of life, people are still running short of time. The reason being they are more busy minting money to get all worldly pleasures. In course of this race, people tend to compromise on the other aspects of life. Although there is a growing trend of eating food in restaurants and food stands, i still prefer to cook and eat at home for a number of reasons. Firstly, cooking is my hobby. When i return home after the grueling day, i need to do something that calms my senses and soothes my soul. Cooking does this for me. Cooking different dishes and getting appreciation for my efforts by family, friends and acquaintances gives me immense pleasure. Cooking has a significant therapeutic value in my life. I get totally engrossed it it and thus it gets my mind off from the bad experiences of the day. It gives me the motivation needed to resume the battle of life. Secondly, a major reason for cooking at home is that food hygiene is guaranteed. In food places, we tend to pay more than what costs us at home but still there is no guarantee that the food is prepared from fresh ingredients or utensils in use are thoroughly cleaned. We tend to be skeptic about about the food from outside but when we cook at home we are satisgied to the fullest. Thirdly, cooking at home gives more flexibility in the way that we can prepare food that is suitable for all members. For instance, th aged members ought to have a low-calorie, high-protein diet. Similarly, the children need high- carbohydrate foods. So, we can prepare meals by taking into account the nutrition requirements of different family members. Last but not the least, at dinner time the whole family gets together at the end of day's work. Where one member prepares food, other lays table yet other washes dishes after the dinner. Dinner time gives a great mnoment for discussions, closeness and sharing of experiences and ideas. I cannot afford to lose this great moment by going out in a crowded place where we lose track of ourselves. Then how can we ensure our bonding with the family. In the finale, i would prefer to cook and eat at home even though it takes time and energy because it is in these moments of cooking i adore myself and cherish the moments that i get to spend exclusively with my family. :rolleyes: Thanks in advance for patiently reading and evaluating my essay....
