This week we’re diving into the topic of: Why so many of us dislike cooking. When it comes to cooking, we’re often uninspired, unmotivated or tired of always being the person making the decision ‘what shall we have for dinner’. Cooking can be time-consuming, stressful, requires some degree of planning then of course, there’s the clean-up.

Although a chore to many, cooking your own food is important. Creating homecooked meals is part of daily self-care. It’s a privilege to cook for yourself, friends & family. It’s also cheaper than the alternatives. So please, join us for this episode as we talk about what works for us when it comes to cooking & ways you can learn to enjoy your kitchen time.
