The people regard food as their prime want; how long has it been since you last cooked?

Cooking is a talent and a journey of life's cultivation. From being able to cook, wanting to cook, to loving to cook, it is a growth from making a living to seeking love.

A person who loves to cook and enjoys spending time in the kitchen is broad-minded, content, unafraid of trouble, willing to give, values health, and loves life.

A person who can cook carries their own radiance. Living with someone who loves to cook, life is bound to be warm.

Those who love cooking know how to manage themselves.

In life, who among us is not busy, sometimes even returning late at night.

Those who love cooking, no matter how busy their lives are or how tiring their careers, always maintain a regular diet and never slack off.

Even when exhausted, I never forget to go to the kitchen.

Such individuals are typically those who set high standards for themselves, persist in activities that benefit them, and repeatedly engage in actions that are advantageous to them.

They never complain about life, only constantly improving their resilience.

爱做饭的人，懂得荤素搭配，知道如何养生，Will make a busy life rich and colorful, will make a dull day full of fun.

He decorates his life with delicious food, allowing himself to relax and not letting his heart grow weary.

A person who loves to cook is not selfish.

做饭一点也不简单，食材要花时间认真挑选，之后清洗、切配，每一片菜叶、每一块肉丁，都需要经过精心的处理，才能成为盘中佳肴的一部分。
烹饪时，也不轻松，大火爆炒，需迅速而精准，稍有不慎便可能烧焦食材，小火慢炖，则需耐心等待，有时一道菜就要1-2个小时，旁人看着都心焦，做饭的人却不嫌麻烦。
因为在他们眼中，这些看似繁琐的步骤，实则是创造美味的必经之路，是生活中不可或缺的仪式感。
为自己做饭是悦己，甘愿忍受烟熏火燎，为家人朋友做的纯粹是爱在支撑，“愿意做菜给别人吃的人，是比较不自私的”。
厨房里，他们化身烹饪艺术家。手起刀落，精准而轻柔，油锅微沸，香气瞬间弥漫，食材跃入其中，铲子翻飞间，色香味逐渐交织。
饭菜一上桌，掌勺的人往往每样只尝两筷，因为，他们“最大的乐趣还是看家人或客人吃得很高兴，盘盘见底”。
A person who can cook is unselfish, unafraid of trouble, and can always make life vibrant and lively no matter when.

Those who love to cook live a refined life.

古人道“治大国，若烹小鲜”，那些热爱做饭的人总会把生活打理得井井有条，他们追求品质生活，活得更精致。
清朝的袁枚，出了名的爱吃，且吃出了名堂，他追求色香味俱全。

平生品味似评诗，别有酸咸世不知。第一要看色香好，明珠仙露上盘时。 ——《品味》
他遍集天下美食名点，编辑成册，名为《随园食单》，即使只做简单的茶叶蛋，都需“两枝线香”，约4小时，方能恰到好处地腌入滋味。
袁枚对食物尚且如此讲究，对生活更不会轻易妥协，不愿意做官就退隐，喜欢看书就收集各种书籍，他Pursue all things beautiful and live a life that is both exquisite and comfortable.

Those who love to cook are more open-minded in life.

爱做饭的人心胸开阔，面对人生的起起伏伏，能积极面对，为人处事也更旷达。
苏轼的一生很坎坷，一次入狱，多次被贬，从黄州到惠州再到儋州，妻死父丧，与至亲相隔天涯，仕途不顺，生活困窘，但他没抱怨，将别人十分的不如意化作十分的热情，走哪吃哪，还自己上手做。
“东坡肉”名扬四海，他还专门写诗介绍怎么做， 慢着火、少着水，火候足时它自美。
苏轼为何如此旷达？
Without losing enthusiasm, adapting to circumstances, passionate about exploring various cuisines, all disappointments are digested by food, leaving only openness and magnanimity.

Those who love to cook, love life.

每一个爱做饭的人，都是积极、温暖，是热爱生活的艺术家。
他们享受与柴米油盐、锅碗瓢盆，在一起的细腻又有滋有味的日子，他们似有魔力，凭一双妙手，把房子和出租屋变成了家。
闲暇之余，他们喜欢去菜市场逛逛，听听那鲜活的吆喝声，体验真实的烟火人间，再用热气腾腾的饭菜温暖身边的每一个人。
与他们在一起日子不会枯燥，四方厨房是自由驰骋的沙场。
他们将满腔的爱意，都倾注在食物里，无声无息地暖了心，暖了胃。
爱做饭的人，优点太多，They are patient and gentle, capable of making ordinary days vibrant and filled with laughter and joy.

这个世上，能陪你下馆子的人很多，但是愿甘心为你做饭的人，屈指可数。
最牵挂你的人，不是惦记你赚钱多少，不是惦记你名气多大，而是惦记你，是否有个好身体，一日三餐能不能吃饱。
慢慢的你会发现，这个世界最深爱你的人，他关心的只有你的身体，担忧的只有你的健康，其余，都不重要。
Those who love cooking are the most worth befriending; those who are willing to cook for you hold you in the highest regard.
珍惜身边那个爱做饭的人，不要让厨房的烟火掩盖那份纯粹的爱。
