why do you cook? what’s the point?

i just love this shit, it’s the only thing i’ve really excelled at and got any gratification and validation from. when people eat my food and it’s the best x they’ve ever had, it feels amazing. i’m not great at showing people i love them, but making a meal is kinda how i do it. just curious what you guys think. what drives you? it’s definitely not the money 😂 , there’s so much easier ways to make money, but i choose food over anything. just been reflecting on my career and wanted to post. shoutout to everyone in the industry , that my ted talk thanks bye
