![]() ![]() I like to read children’s books with recipes with my younger family members to try to get them excited about trying different foods. Asian food is the primary food we eat together. My brain relaxes more when I can dream up all the things I want to make when I don’t have to watch my budget and can source all those items correctly instead of getting my supermarket substitute ingredients.Ĭurrently, I have been diving into several Asian food books, partially because that is my wheelhouse when it comes to cooking but also because I miss my family. And since cooking is more about survival than taste or culinary flair during quarantine, I have found that reading about food has been the escape I needed more than anything else. That seems to be my quiet place these days, where my brain just has to absorb the text and enjoy its time away from thinking and planning and stressing. Through this difficult reality we are currently facing, I have dived straight into books. It’s like the last bit of my mind is Sisyphus rolling a boulder up a hill but about food, and I love food. The thought of cooking dinner after figuring out both breakfast and lunch becomes overwhelming and somehow sad. ![]() ![]() I need to cook every meal and many times I am exhausted by the necessity of this chore. These days, cooking has changed for me a bit. I get a sense of control and am able to sit down to a meal with my loved ones and get out of my work mode. ![]()
