I love cooking, but even seeing restaurant kitchens from the outside made me not want to pursue it as a full-time job, not to mention I likely would have to “colonize” my cooking (make it French/English compilant), which would make it even less fun. It was really fun to “decolonize” pörkölt (goulash stew) and update it to a world where I less likely have to “zero waste cook” (add parsley and celery leaves for a wastly enhanced flavor). It is not fun when I have to cook yet another round of the bland version of it, especially when it comes to me also eating from it.
Do something you love as a job, and you’ll have one less thing that you love.
