When I was having dinner with a friend, I talked about the topic of cooking while serving hotel meals at the dinner table. A friend said that cooking needs talent. Although everyone can make food, it is not cooking, but to fill their stomachs. Real cooking is an art, and only people with talent can do it. I have traveled abroad for many years, and I can say that I have tasted countless dishes in the East, West, North and South, and I have eaten Chinese and foreign restaurants with different flavors. Therefore, it is a manifestation of profound experience to send out this feeling, and I quite agree with this sentence. Although I haven't eaten many big meals and have no taste buds of gourmets, as far as my specific situation is concerned, I totally agree, because I can't cook.

Maybe someone is going to laugh. You are stupid because you can't cook. Maybe so. Because there are many sisters in my family, there are plenty of people cooking; In addition, when I was a child, I was wild-tempered, and I loved to work in the fields with adults. I didn't like to stay at home and cook, so my parents taught me in accordance with their aptitude, and I lost the first education of girls learning to cook. Later, when I went to school, I didn't have time to practice. Later, when I went to college and became a "baby" at home, my parents wouldn't let me cook. When I fell in love and worked, I met a boyfriend who tried his best to cook in order to become a husband, so I lost another chance to learn. Until now, it is difficult to return to the habit. The former boyfriend, today's husband and the father of the child are helpless, shaking their heads and sighing and reluctantly accepting it. "He tasted the bitter fruit he brewed himself" (his joke). Of course, I am a pseudo-cook who lacks innate education and acquired practice, and I am not exaggerating at all, because I also want to fill my stomach. I can still cook some home-cooked meals such as noodles, scrambled eggs and porridge, but I am staring at the dishes when it is a little difficult. I tried several times, either the food was not well matched, or it was tasteless, or the heat was too high or too low, although it was still done under the guidance of experts and the steps of books. It seems that cooking really needs talent.

I read an article the day before yesterday entitled "A little", which talked about the secret of cooking. The chef said that when cooking, a little salt should be put in, and a little seasoning should be put in, but a little is not a quantifier, but a feeling. A little is the dividing line between the chef and ordinary cooking, and a little is synonymous with the level of cooking. How well said, a little is the measure of classical beauty that one point is too fat, and one point is too thin. To put it in one sentence, one point is too much, and one point is too little, which is the boundary marker that the cook grasps with his own heart and talent.

Another example is the Korean TV series Dae Jang Geum, which was popular all over the country some time ago. In the first half, it was about cooking in the court, that is, the imperial kitchen. Let's not talk about the court struggle or Dae Jang Geum's personal frustration and struggle. Let's look at the ability and talent of others to cook. I remember that in the play, Dae Jang Geum said, "When cooking, you should think of the expression of the person eating, and do it with a smile, and your meal will taste like a smile." There is a smile in the rice. I never knew there was such a saying before watching TV. From this point of view, this cooking is really not something that ordinary people can do, let alone me.

Cooking needs talent. People who eat should taste it slowly with a grateful mind and eat the smile in the meal. This is the best answer to talented cooks.
