You’re probably wondering what neuroscience has to do with cooking. Don’t worry…I’m not a zombie (mmm, brains!).

Well, do you like to cook? Ask yourself why or why not. If you do, it’s probably a habit you’ve formed over time and repetition, until it’s something that feels familiar to you. If not, it can still feel uncomfortable and scary. That’s pretty normal of any new habit, whether it’s starting to meditate, learning to cook, or picking up an old running routine again. And throughout all this research on habits, there is one truth that can’t be overlooked: it takes practice!
