The occupation I have chosen to look at this semester is cooking. I enjoy cooking both for myself and for others, which has become a typical part of my flatting life. When cooking for only myself I like to experiment with new recipes and new ingredients, however when cooking for flatmates and family I will often stick to recipes which I know work for me. Cooking is something I intend to continue doing throughout my life and I would like to grow and expand on the types of things I am capable of cooking. Cooking is also a passion of my mothers and grandmothers and I consider them both very skillful in this domain, as I develop my skills with cooking I intend to attempt recipes I liked when I was a child or that remind me of home.Cooking is something which identifies as meaningful for a lot of people and therefore should be relevant to my Occupational Therapy practice in the future, cooking can be used as both an assessment and an intervention. This week I will focus more definately on what I am doing whilst I cook and consider the processes invloved during this.
