Welcome back to my blog!..Yes, it continues for another semester!
This semester we are writing up about our engagement in a chosen activity - one in which we currently participate in for at least two hours a week. The activity that I have chosen to blog about is cooking. I will be discussing the engagement that I have in cooking each week and some topics to do with what is involved with cooking.
So why choose cooking? I chose to do cooking as my activity as it is something I enjoy to do and I currently do it once or twice a week. I live in a flat with four other girls so we all take it in turns to cook each night. I learnt most of my cooking from my mother or other family members - just from watching them, having their recipes or helping them in the kitchen.
What might this activity have to do with Occupational Therapy? Well as I have experienced from previous placements, cooking and being in the kitchen is generally a part of anyone's meaningful everyday activities. As a future Occupational therapist, I think it is useful to know how to cook and the factors behind it so that I am able to understand the ways in which other people perform this activity.
Practical considerations: This activity should be easy for me to do for at least two hours a week, since we take it in turns to cook each night within our flat. We already have all of the equipment needed within our flat and buy groceries at the beginning of every week which means we generally have all the food that we need in order to prepare and cook meals each night.
