In this material-rich and highly convenient era, from gourmet meals in five-star hotels to home-style dishes in ordinary restaurants, from various snacks on the streets to the dazzling fast foods in supermarkets, these foods with diverse prices and flavors make eating both easy and effortless. However, I always feel that homemade meals are different from those bought outside. While homemade food may lack sophistication or refinement, it carries the taste of family spending time together with care. This taste becomes a food memory—a flavor that will never be forgotten, no matter how far one travels or how many years pass, and will always remind one of home.
In this world, we can do many things to make others happy, but I believe there is nothing easier than cooking to earn praise. A distant friend is coming to my city for business again after two years. On the phone, she said, "This time, the thing I'm most looking forward to is going back to your place for a meal!" I was truly happy that she still remembered the meal she had at my place two years ago.
