> 1. Why do you cook? Is it to save cash or is it recreation? Or something else?
Its an offline activity for me. Whatever time I get in from work say 7-9pm I generally cook if theres food in the fridge. Most meals tend to take an hour which is a good time for me to think about something else other than work.
> 2. Do you plan ahead? Like a weekly meal plan?
Sort of I have goto meals mainly asian which is always in the fridge / freezer
> 3. What kind of things do you cook usually?
Other peoples recipes!
> 4. Do you follow any diet? Atkins, Slow Carb etc.
Slow / No carbs, high protein
> 5. Do you have any life hacks, tips to be more productive as a cook?
I have a few although its less about being productive.
- Have a handful of goto meals that you know inside out and have them in the fridge.
- Get meat out the night before and put it in the freezer
- Always have vegetables you'll eat out if there isn't anything
- Ramen noodles should be bought in 25/50 boxes!
I dont think the focus of cooking should be about being productive, sometimes its nice to switch off and get away from the computer and talk to the wife / partner / people that aren't on the internet
