I like to cook and more if I am calm, in a good mood or cheerful. What I like about the kitchen is that it is not just about following a specific list of ingredients and steps, but also about experimenting. Be creative in the kitchen Do not be afraid to try a new ingredient of the same category if you do not have the one you need. I like to have a movie or video, radio or music while I cook because that makes my mood more pleasant and it is not all that quiet and silent.
