How much love?

[SnackMyFoodie]

They say the first ingredient you should put into any dish is love... How much love do you put into your dishes? What are your pet-peeves when it comes to preparing and cooking a dish?

I wouldn't say that I add love. For me it's more about adding the desire to experiment, I always try to do something differently even if I have no idea how it's going to turn out.

I try to make everything with lots of love. I have love in my heart while baking because I love to bake! Even more than that, I love to see my family happy and enjoying my baked goods. I think the attitude you have while baking can reflect your baked goods. Stay positive and enjoy what you are doing!

I think that adding love comes automatically when I am cooking for my daughter (occasionally, of course) but then it does not turn up when I cook for myself. I don't know why this discrimination.

I put a lot of love into my food. People can tell the difference. They know when something's been put together without this ingredient.

My pet peeves:

• Bland food
• Too much pepper
• Addition of cilantro for color only
• Mixing food for color only and not taste
• Redoing recipes for comfort foods into disgusting healthy alternatives
