Cooking is a creative outlet - try combining things you like to see how they blend.
Spices do not mean SPICY. A little seasoning can make a big difference.
Salt is ot the only seasoing out there. You can get by cooking without salt (but not baking without it).
Cooking can also be scientific. Combinations of ingredients produce a chemical reaction to produce to the end product.
Cooking can be social. You can have great conversations while sharing the preparation and clean up.
Cooking can also be a great time to meditate. WHile your hands are busy your mind can go anywhere.
I usually follow a recipe fairly closely the first time. If I like the outcome, I try variations until I find something that Ireally like!
