PEOPLE CHANGE
Confidence is the key to innovation; if you modify a recipe to your liking, it can end up becoming something else entirely. Maybe there is less heat or more spice; perhaps applesauce is used instead of bananas or carrots are used instead of beets. The outcomes of today food recipes serve as a springboard for increased creativity and self-assurance in the kitchen.
Additionally, a novel element is an opportunity to broaden that body of knowledge. Using sweetened condensed milk in a banana bread recipe broadens one’s baking skills. A soup that uses squash blossoms as a kind of thickening and for taste is a double-edged sword.
You may become more conscious of what you eat if you try a new recipe. Cooking for yourself makes you more conscious of the ingredients that go into each meal recipe nd, eventually, into your body. The relationship between cooking today and social ties, creativity, self-esteem, and confidence has also been the subject of expanding research.
