Cooking sense

Why don’t most women who cook like the food they make? I have heard this problem quite a few times. Newlyweds complain the most because its their first time at cooking, but somehow they don’t relish what they make. Most often, they are awesome cooks but the taste of food they make doesn’t seem tasty to them. Iam a total foodie but somehow I don’t like the food I make. I gave it some thought and then realised… eating a meal or food comprises of the use of the sense to smell, touch, sight and then ofcourse sense of taste. When you are the cook, you have smelt, touched and seen the food and when 3 out of the 4 senses have been satisfied, not much is left for the taste. When you are served food on a plate which you have not cooked, all your senses are alert and ready to indulge –all at the same time. Hence the event of eating becomes awesome because all your senses are working in unison. But when you are the cook, with 3 senses already satisfied, filling your stomach to avoid ulcers is the only job left  Imagine, mothers who have been cooking day in and day out, they must have forgotten the last time they a meal with all the senses indulging together.
