With everything moving so quickly in the modern world, we are missing out on the chance to enjoy the simpler things in life.

One of these simple joys is cooking, and unfortunately, millions of people are missing out on this opportunity every year.

It’s not like you can blame them. With everyone being so busy with their work and families, not to mention the advent of the microwave era, we understand why people would decide to take the quick way out.

It’s all a little sad though, because tasting great home cooked food is one of the greatest pleasures in life. “It’s hard to find the time to cook a decent meal these days, especially when you consider the fact that we have to balance our work life with our personal life,” says Jeremiah, a student. “Games like Happy Kitchen help us have a taste of the joys of cooking without needing anywhere near as much time.”
