BODY WATCH : ‘Cooking’ With a Touch of Vision and a Dash of Imagination

I spend my time reading one of my 30 (at last count) cookbooks. As I read, I can visualize making and eating all the savory, mouthwatering dishes. This satisfies my gourmet appetite without worrying about weight gain and having to deal with preparation, cleanup and cost. It also provides me with a dream that I will some day try out a recipe and actually cook something.
