I definitely have a love hate relationship with cooking. I love food but hate cooking! I feel no enthusiasm at all for spending hours in the kitchen slaving away over a hot stove; even the thought of creating the perfect meal that my family loves does not excite me. I am definitely a person that enjoys food that someone else has cooked for me.
