Why should you learn how to cook?

1.Expand your mind. Learning to cook will help you understand world cultures, customs and flavors. You will also learn life skills like eating healthy, budgeting your money, and cleaning.

2.Save some cash. Cooking is less expensive than eating at restaurants, fast food joints and school cafeterias. Spending money on pre-packaged meals gets too expensive for a young person and families on a budget.

3.Eat food you love. You have control over your menu and can pick exactly what you want to eat at every meal.

4.Boost your health and wellness. Preparing fresh foods will put much-needed nutrition into your diet and increase your energy and quality of health in the short and long run.

5.Spread the love. Cooking creates a culture of giving and receiving positive energy to the people around you.
