Cooking in a dream usually reflects nurturing and transformation -- taking raw ingredients, whether literal or emotional, and turning them into something that can sustain you or someone else. A dish coming together well can point to a plan finally taking shape, while a kitchen disaster often names a process still in progress.
Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. (Bryan, William Jennings, 1860-1925, American Lawyer Politician)
