Some of us go into the kitchen a couple of times in a day to get our food, do the dishes, find something to snack on from the fridge and we get out of there ASAP. For some other people, the kitchen is the number one place they enjoy the most at home, not because they’re compelled to but because they love it.
For people like this, cooking is their ultimate hobby, and the kitchen is their haven. They’re always trying out a new recipé, arranging food items or cooking a meal with a fancy name you’ve never heard of.
If you fall into this category, then we can guess some things about you accurately:
You Watch Cooking Shows Back to Back
Food Network is your favourite channel, and you binge their shows religiously, from Chopped to MasterChef, Siba’s Table, Hell’s Kitchen and Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, amongst others. You’re always looking for some food-related entertainment and some new recipés to try out.
You don’t feel comfortable cooking when there are so many people in the same kitchen
Cooking is an activity that helps you feel fulfilled and at peace with yourself, so any interruption could affect your headspace and make your experience less enjoyable. Plus, people always leave the kitchen messier than they met it, and you can’t stand that. (P.S: You’ve fought almost everyone in the house because of this)
