1. Cooking is an art… well, mostly! 🎨🍳

“Cooking is like painting or writing – only with ingredients instead of colors or words.” – Wolfgang Puck

Anyone who gets creative in the kitchen knows: There are no limits! Sometimes the food becomes a masterpiece, sometimes it's more like modern art that no one understands... or wants to eat. 🙈

Or as Tim Mälzer so beautifully put it:

“If something doesn’t taste good, it was intentional.”

Because hey, maybe the soup should taste like burnt car tires? 😆

2. Food is the best therapy 🍕🧘

“You can’t think well, love well, or sleep well unless you have eaten well.” – Virginia Woolf

Food simply makes you happy – we all know that! No wonder many worries suddenly feel half as bad with a pizza or a piece of chocolate.

Or to put it in a modern proverb:

👉 “Hunger is the best spice.” (But let’s be honest: garlic isn’t bad either! 🧄🔥)

3. The truth about diets… and why we hate them! 🥗😩

"I'm on a diet. I only eat chocolate on days that end with 'g'. And on Wednesdays." – Unknown

Diets are like Mondays—nobody really likes them. 🙄 So why not just follow Julia Child's advice?

“Everything in moderation, including moderation.” – Julia Child

That means: Yes, you can treat yourself to a second helping. Or a third. We won't judge you. 😉

4. The real reason we cook… 🍰👩‍🍳

“Baking is the way to a person’s heart through their stomach.” – Unknown

Cooking is much more than just preparing food. It's a declaration of love to the stomach and sometimes a test of patience for everyone involved. 😅

Because let’s be honest:

👉 “Recipes are suggestions, not rules.” – Unknown

Or as Jamie Oliver so aptly put it:

“A recipe is a story that ends happily.”

If not… well, ordering pizza is also an option! 🍕📞

5. Food brings people together – unless you eat my fries! 🍟😤

“Share your food with a friend and you share the happiness.” – Unknown

Sounds nice, right? Until someone tries to steal your French fry! Then the friendship is over. 🤨

Or as Joey from Friends says:

👉 “Joey doesn’t share food!”

And he is absolutely right.

6. Cheers to coffee – our elixir of life ☕🔥

“Is there life before coffee? No. No, there isn't.” – Unknown

Mornings without coffee? Unimaginable! That's why we say:

👉 "Coffee is the answer. No matter what the question was."

And if anyone says otherwise… just ignore them and take another sip. 😌☕

7. The great wisdom of Italian cuisine 🍝🇮🇹

“When life gives you lemons… make limoncello!” – Italian wisdom

The Italians simply know how to enjoy life. And above all, that carbohydrates are not their enemy! Because:

👉 “Life is too short for bad food.”

So bring on the pasta! 🍝❤️

8. Why we're always hungry... 🤷‍♂️🍔

“I’m not hungry, but I could still eat something.” – All of us. Always.

You know that feeling? You've just eaten, but suddenly a burger ad comes on somewhere – and whoosh, your stomach starts rumbling again.

Because eating isn't just a need—it's a hobby! 😁

Conclusion: The way to a person's heart is through their stomach – and so is humor! 😂
