Cooking

I find cooking to be incredibly intimidating, but it's often the case that many dishes are not difficult. Cooking is procedural precision with an eye and a nose for good taste.

As with other aspects of my life, I think it's important for what I eat and make to be minimal. If I buy minimally processed ingredients myself, the end result will be simple and healthy for me; the more processed an ingredient is, the greater its propensity to have health symptoms and consequences.
