1 // Do not buy into the idea that kitchen work is drudgery.
We like getting our hands dirty in the kitchen! Cooking, for us, can be a meditation. Sometimes cooking is playtime; sometimes it’s making art. We cook to say sorry and we cook to seduce. We cook to see the smiles on the faces of our family and friends. Sometimes we cook together, drink too much wine, laugh a little too loudly, and come out better friends in the end.
2 // Make the kitchen your happy place.
Get organized. When you know where things are, you are the master of your domain. Keep flowers in a vase, listen to music, use the pretty dish towel. Display your fruit in a big bowl. Keep yummy drinks around. Invite friends and/or family over to cook with you. Do whatever makes you feel good in that space.
