One of the
nicest things about cooking in these modern times {do I sound like an old fart
now?} is how it’s no longer a necessity to survive. Cooking is no longer simply the fulfillment of bodily need and in this line: it's no longer a chore or hassle you need to do to.
You can now easily order in,
take away or go out without wasting too much money or ruining your taste buds.
While only touching two buttons on your oven and a small time waiting, you can
have a lasagna, mousaka or [fill in the blank].

This makes
the way we cook feel less like a chore or routine and more like an art of
personal (and social) pleasure.
The moment I
start to chop vegetables, it feels like buying a new dress or holding hands
with someone you love.
It isn’t necessary, but it surely does feel all kinds of awesome.

So yes; you
can easily buy hundreds of premade vegetarian burgers in the supermarket.
Yes,
most of them taste pretty good.
Yes, you can spend your time on watching stupid
cat video’s instead of kneading white bean mash with garlic and lots of herbs.
The question is now; do you want to buy ‘em premade?
Or do you want
to get your hands all dirty and spend some quality time with the veg’s/
yourself/ your sous-chef?
For me, the
answer depends on my mood, the weather and the sous-chef.
How about you?
How about you?
