Cooking is an art, which cannot be mastered by everyone. Cooking is also a science, because it requires you to know an exact amount of ingredients, which are to be added to a particular dish. You also need to know which ingredient can be mixed with another, to get a perfect concoction. For example, some people brag what is the problem in making a cup of tea. Well I must tell you here that making tea is not just boiling water, adding tea leaves, milk and sugar and presenting it to a guest by the master of the house with the words,"My madam is an expert in making the best tea on earth."The guest may take a sip, but out of embarrassment may not utter a word. Poor host! he must not have ever taken 'real' tea. If he wants to have a taste of real tea, he should visit some renowned hotel for cuppa tea. They don't charge you heavily just for a cup of boiling water.
It is desirable that some times we must enter the kitchen and cook for the family.This way you can keep an eye on the servant. Moreover if you cook you can keep your kitchen neat and clean, you will remain physically fit and healthy. There will be no need to go to the gym.You will get sufficient exercise in your kitchen. If you are cooking you can experiment with materials available in the kitchen. You can think of ways and means to utilise leftover food.
You can cook what the family members like. The biggest advantage is, if the servant leaves without any notice, you will know what is kept where. These days most of the houses have a modular kitchen. It is a pleasure to work in a modular kitchen. You can design a modular kitchen according to your requirement.

Try to make healthy meals, to keep your whole family feeling their best, as well as keeping yourself healthy and strong (so you can deal with all the challenges in your day!). If you don't know how to cook, try to learn. Ask your mother and mother-in-law about their secret recipes. You will make their day as well as learn something that will wow your family. Variety is the spice of life! Food time should be a special occasion, every day. Put some nice music on and light some candles. Every evening meal will seem like a romantic dinner date.
