Cooking in the Age of Social Media
In the digital age, cooking has transcended beyond just a household chore or a professional pursuit. Social media has sparked a global culinary revolution, turning everyday cooks into stars in their own right. Platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok have become digital cookbooks where food enthusiasts share delectable recipes, creative food presentations, and innovative cooking techniques. Some social media users have even risen to fame as Food Influencers, their culinary creations garnering thousands, even millions, of likes and shares. These influencers inspire their followers to try new recipes and embrace the joy of cooking. However, as much as social media has democratized cooking, it has also set unrealistic expectations. Lavish meals and picture-perfect desserts often showcased on these platforms can make everyday cooking seem inadequate. Many users feel pressured to produce Instagrammable meals, thereby losing sight of the essence of cooking—to nourish and enjoy. In conclusion, while social media has revolutionized cooking, it is essential to remember that cooking is an art, not a competition. Enjoy the process, savor the result, and don t just cook to click!
