When cooking, how do you plan to prepare your dishes? Do you think about what you are going to prepare the day before or the same day?

---

---

When it comes to cooking I mostly like to plan my dishes in advance before the day I cook. I really think about what I want to prepare the day before or even a few days ahead. Planning before cooking allows me to make shopping list gather all the ingredients that are required to cook and ensure that I have enough time to prepare the dish without feeling rushed.

It also gives me the opportunity to look up New recipes or get inspired by different Cusinies recipes however there are times when I decide to cook something on the same day specially if I am in the mood for a quick and simple meal I mostly rely on the simple recipes or prepare something from the ingredients that are already present.

So whether it is planning ahead or cooking spontaneously it is all about finding the right balance and enjoying the process of creating delicious food 🍳🍽️.

Are you one of those who usually takes a long time preparing a meal, or quite the opposite in a very short time you prepare a delicious meal?

---

---

While preparing a meal I mostly take more time. I believe that cooking is a time taking process if you want to prepare something delicious for your family also there are some quick recipes but in my kitchen I mostly make the time taking recipes. I find cooking to be a relaxing and creative activity.

So each and every step requires time and I mostly make sure that everything is just right so it is like a little culinary adventure. In the situation where I have to prepare quick recipes I rely on shortcuts to make something delicious in shorter time.

So in liseaure cooking or speedy meal I adapt my approach according to the situation and my mode the important thing is that results should be always tasty.🍳👩‍🍳

What kitchen utensils do you use frequently when cooking?

---

---

There are few kitchen utensils that I frequently used some of my most commonly used are knife for shopping and slicing a cutting board to keep things organized a wooden spoon for stirring and mixing and a spatula for flipping and turning food.

I also find measuring cups and spoons to be very useful for precise measurements and whisk for blending ingredients smoothly.Other utensils that come in handy are tongs for grabbing and flipping a can opener for opening cans and a peeler for removing the skin from fruits and vegetables.

It mostly depends on the recipe and what I am cooking but these utensil stand to be my all time partners in cooking 🍴🔪🥄.

How much do you spend approximately preparing three of your daily meals? Mention its price in your national currency and in steem.

---

---

Food prices are increasing day by day and the cost for 3 meals totally depends upon the recipes. Prices of the three simple meals in my area you can see below in the table

Total (for 3 meals):

Meal Type	Total Price (PKR)	Total Price (STEEM)
Breakfast	150	3
Lunch	250	5
Dinner	200	4
Grand Total	600 PKR	12 STEEM

These are the average prices for one person three meals in a day in my country the prices will vary on the preferences.

So that was all from my side about the topic and I hope that you all will like to read the post and support the content
