I have been a chef for twelve years and still enjoy cooking! Especially when we have so many fresh delicious fruits and veggies from the land or the local market! We mostly cook vegetarian food with lots of sprouted pulses, sheep and goats cheeses and fresh eggs for added protein (muscles) I will occasionally eat meat and have a celebratory bbq especially after some hard day's physical work !
