5 Senses and Cooking

Did you know cooking is one of the few nonverbal hobbies that incorporates all our five senses.
Seeing the colors of vegetables, grains, meats, spices
Smells of freshly cut vegetables, ground, roasted and fried spices
Sounds of food sizzling and liquids bubbling
Touch when you wash, peel and slice the ingredients; when you eat with fingers
And finally taste. . . oh, the taste!
Not only the five senses but your feelings affect the taste of any dish you prepare. For instance, if you are tired, angry, frustrated or envious and not in a mood to cook the food does not taste its best. Honestly, when I’m not feeling my normal self, I prefer ordering out or eating leftovers.
Good news is homemade Indian good tastes better the next day or the next. Try it?
