I feel there is many ways that people can become independent from their parents or bad habits and one of those in my experience is cook because it shows how much you have grown in life plus you can conquer a lot of bad habits.

Shopping

The first part of cooking might sounds easy enough but you need to go shopping for those ingredients that you need to make the meal and already there you are get some good new habits.

1. You learn to save money and handle your economy
2. You learn to figure out what is healthy and what’s not since you can read what each product is made off compared to finished food

Making

The second part of cooking is creating the meal from those ingredients you just got and yes it gives good habits as well

1. You learn how to use tools
2. You learn how to follow instructions

Eating

The last part is the most obvious one but still it means a lot that you have been making and done the shopping yourself as you learn so much by this that you wouldn’t know if your parents just make the food or if you just get take away all the time

1. Home cooked food taste how you want them to taste (mistakes can happen)
2. You save money inc the long run since if you fx gets a pizza oven you can make any kind of pizza you want but you don’t have to pay for delivery. 50dkk around 7,5 US dollars, is what it costed last time I ordered from take away and my pizza oven costed 400dkk arond 60 US dollars so I just need to make 8 pizzas on it and those money also gets you lots of toppings.
3. It gives you focus and calming energy to eat your own meals

So lots of good reasons to learn to cook on your own. Before I leave you, Bang Bang Shrimp, this is my favorite recipe to cook at the moment and it is so simple.

Enjoy your first step in becoming independent
