When I was 17 years old, I had to leave my home town because I went to study at university in another town. So, I found myself in a strange city where I did not know anyone. I rented an apartment, which I shared with two roommates to pay less money. Soon my roommates became my friends. Gradually, my life was getting better.
However, there was one circumstance that really troubled me. My friends preferred eating fast food, such as cheeseburgers and French fries. I started going with them to fast food restaurants. But that junk food did not agree with my sensitive stomach, which reminded itself through pain and indigestion.
The thing is that from the very childhood, I suffered from poor health. My stomach was my weak point. So, my mother made me keep to a strict diet. Then I felt well. After moving to another town, I completely forgot about my diet, and tried to focus only on my studies. One day, after eating in a fast food restaurant, I felt so bad that I made a promise to myself I would start cooking healthy dishes. And I kept my promise.
To start with, I went and bought a recipe book. I started cooking simple dishes, such as mashed potatoes and baked fish. But my stomach was grateful for that. I treated my dishes to my friends. And they enjoyed them to such an extent that they even stopped eating junk food.
Gradually, I started enjoying the cooking process itself. Moreover, I discovered kitchen gadgets (such as pressure cooker, slow cooker, air fryer) that helped me prepare more delicious dishes.
