There is a saying that ordinary jokes can lead to dopamine secretion by 30%, and delicious food can lead to 70%.
I think except for people with anorexia, most people like food. Not only can they taste different cuisines and flavors from all over the world, their taste buds can be enjoyed and satisfied, but they can also secrete dopamine, which makes us feel happy.
In order to maintain the normal operation of body functions, we need to obtain nutrients and energy from food every day. Because of this, food has become a necessity in our lives. However, due to the diversity of food, what we eat has also become a daily necessity for many people.

For me, what I eat is not particularly important, but cooking with my own hands is particularly precious.
Especially when I am frustrated and depressed, cooking is a way to make me love life again and rekindle hope.
Choosing ingredients carefully, cooking, plating, and enjoying with care, coupled with the effect of music, I will feel that the present moment is the simplest and most subtle happy time in life.
When it comes to cooking, I have always been in the stage where I know how to cook but am not good at it. I have never thought about improving my cooking skills. However, since I started running three months ago, I began to study how to eat healthier.
In the process of looking up recipes, I often drooled over the tempting food pictures on the phone screen. It was also at that time that my interest in cooking became more and more profound.
Action is worse than a heartbeat. One weekend I got up early and went to the market to buy groceries and started making breakfast when I came back.
The breakfast recipe that day was scallion pancakes with pumpkin porridge. I was busy preparing it while reading the recipe. When the final product came out, the scallion pancakes failed.

Although it seems a bit artificial, but because I like it, I have made eating more ritualistic, and because of this, my love for life has also increased.
When you are depressed and frustrated, you may have thousands of reasons to hate life, but at the same time, you can also find thousands of reasons to love life.
The meaning of life is not necessarily a successful career, the meaning of life can also be simple daily necessities.
As long as you want, you don't need to go far away, a monotonous life can be poetic; as long as you want, you don't need to go to a high-end restaurant, simple ingredients can also be used to cook delicious food.
Fortunately, my association with cooking has made my life richer and more meaningful. Because of this, dinner alone no longer seems lonely and boring, but more of a joy and expectation.
