9. Cooking activities are a great way to express your creativity. You are the master of the canvas. Do with it as you please. You can always eat your mistakes. Mmm delicious mistakes!
10. Dropping the knowledge - Cooking will help you to utilize subjects like science, reading, and math, and will increase your critical thinking. That’s right, with all of those classes you took, cooking is a great way to actually use those skills and do something productive!
11. You have to eat to live, and fast food will kill you. Need I say more?
New and Interesting Foods?
It is important to have a diet that includes a wide range of foods. You should always be open to trying different foods that you have never tasted. Hey, you can always spit them out, and then you never have to try them again. But, what is most important is that you expanded your horizons and parameters. You also have a good story to tell about the time you ate the still beating heart of cobra. |
