People are so busy these days that many people have no time to cook. This becomesa problem, because most families love home cooking. The food tastes good and warm,and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often theonly time everyone sees one another at the same time.
Another reason peopleenjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makessome cookies is not justsatisfyinga child's sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, "Icare about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15minutes if I let you."
There is also something about the smell of homecooking. The smell of home cooking please people of all ages. It makes most of usfeel good and loved—even if we are the ones doing the cooking. Next time you smella cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood (心情).
