People who love food also love the reason behind the good food―you! Cooking something awesome always makes you feel like a rockstar or some kind of superwoman or superman. This works well especially with those who are having a bad day. You surely know how to bring a smile to their face!

#3. You end up cooking at most of the get-togethers

Whenever there's a get-together, and even if it's not at your place, you still end up cooking anyway. It's like some magnet pulls you automatically to the kitchen. Another reason is that you just love your cooking, and most of all, you don't trust other people with it! (smirk)

#4. You instantly connect with people who love to cook

There are many, many people in this world who also love to cook. There's so much to talk about when it comes to cooking!

I'm sure you'll bump into someone who is fond of cooking or at least someone who loves to eat.

#5. Cooking is like a rejuvenating therapy for you

Nothing makes you feel better than cooking and that intoxicating aroma of food. The only way to make your horrible day better is to go into the kitchen and cook something amazing or try out a new recipe. Like other people listen to music for uplifting their mood, you cook!

#6. You have immense patience, but only while cooking

Often times, you are labeled as an impatient person, but when it comes to preparing food, you become the most patient person on this planet. You can wait for hours and hours for the food to get prepared. You're also impatient with people who do not eat properly, but nothing else makes you happy than seeing someone eating and relishing even the last morsel of the food in the plate. And that's when you decide that you'll be the "cook and foodie" partners, forever! (So that you can try all your experiments on him/her)

#7. You automatically get attracted to the food and grocery section in a mall

The moment you enter a mall, you find yourself walking towards the grocery and food section. Again, there seems to be some inexplicable force that pulls you towards it. You make sure that you are in control of the grocery shopping, simply because you get to decide what you want in your food. You know all types of spices and ingredients, and they have become an integral part of your life now. You have all kinds of ingredients and spices available in your kitchen.

#8. People often ask you about your secret recipe or ingredient

You are often asked about the secret ingredient that you used or the secret behind the wonderful dish that you prepared. What they don't know is that it is not any ingredient, but the love for food and cooking that makes it tasty. Just a drop of love, and it becomes amazingly delicious. Sshhh! It's a top secret!

#9. You always end up watching cooking shows on TV

However much you decide to watch some other channel or catch up on some movie on TV, you always end up watching cooking shows and channels like Food Network. You love watching and learning new recipes and make it a point to note them all so that you can try them out later.

#10. You have at least one signature dish

And it's finger-licking awesome! You have this signature dish that nobody else can beat you at. Whoever wishes to have it, they know where to go. In fact, you're popular in your group for that particular dish, and people have even mentioned it while introducing you to someone new. And you're proud of it!

#11. You've burned or set something on fire at least once

All of us have burned or set the fire alarm off at least once while trying to cook. And the fire alarm makes sure that it won't stop ringing for the next 10 minutes. And other times when you're not burning stuff, you've left them undercooked. Well, only to get it perfect the next time! After all, practice makes a man perfect, isn't it?

#12. You don't like anyone disturbing you while you're cooking

It is YOUR kitchen, and you don't like anyone poking their noses in between while cooking, especially the people who have a habit of commenting on everything that you add to your recipe. It is your territory and nobody is supposed to wander around near it. After all, who doesn't need their personal space in life!

#13. People have given you all sorts of gifts related to cooking

Whatever occasion it may be, the only gifts that you get are related to cooking. Most of the time, it has been an apron, which you never wear! And other times, cake molds, cookware, pans, spatulas, hand gloves, chopper, peeler, grinder, etc. Thank you, people!

#14. You've bookmarked more recipes than you've ever made

More than half the time when you are surfing the Internet, you're looking for new recipes and food combinations, or new appliances. You make sure that you bookmark the recipe, regardless of whether you're going to try it out or not. The bookmarks list in your computer is filled with recipes, and is longer than the list of recipes you've tried out till now.

#15. You've pretended to be on a cooking show while cooking

Admit it! We all do such stupid things when we are alone. You've dreamed of being on a cooking show in front of a large audience, calling out all the ingredients and method of preparing. The next Master Chef in making, are you?

#16. You've even stirred constantly for 30 minutes

Because it was written in the recipe! Remember the time when you started cooking and were just in the experimentation stage, and also that aching hand? Of course, how can you forget those times when you stood stirring the dish for 30-45 minutes continuously, simply because it was mentioned in the instructions! When you think of it now, you feel stupid for having it taken literally. And all they meant was to stir it constantly so that it doesn't get burned from the bottom, which you could've done in breaks, BTW!

#17. You've also had to deal with little criticism for your cooking

Although you love and appreciate compliments, you hate it when anyone criticizes your dish. Moreover, you also carry a bag of guilt around with yourself. You now understand why your mom used to get mad at you when you threw tantrums as a kid and didn't want to eat, because it was not nice, or did not like any particular vegetable or ingredient that was used in it. Oops! Sorry, Mommy.

#18. You like to keep the kitchen your way

You don't like it even if one spoon or spice is not at its place. You turn into a monster if your maid or anyone else re-shuffles the order of your cutlery. Even though it may look cluttered, you feel it is organized, simply because it is easier for you that way.

#19. When the recipe you tried is loved by everyone!

Happiness for you is... when you try a new recipe and everyone loves it! Everyone is always curious about what you're going to cook next. They love your cooking so much, that they self-invite themselves all the time. The best time of the day for you is when everyone loves and appreciates your cooking. What else do you need in life?
