Spice is life. It depends upon what you like... have fun with it. Yes, food is serious, but you should have fun with it.
Cooking is so popular today because it's the perfect mix of food and fun.
When I cook with my son, I might chop vegetables and have fun with different shapes. Cooking is a way to teach kids about other things, like reading or math with all of the weights and measures. There are so many things that are part of cooking that are also very educational.
When it ceases to be fun, I'll stop and just stay in my restaurants.
