Great cooking can be the perfect example of how genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Do you think being a chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant is all fun and fancy? The reality is that much of the workday is taken up by chopping endless vegetables or gutting fish.

On a lesser scale, the same often goes for making food at home. If you have ever hosted a dinner party and cooked everything from scratch, you'll know exactly how heated it can get in the kitchen. It's all the more reason to decompress with a helping of cooking memes, that appreciate the efforts we put in just to shovel something tasty in our mouths. Whenever you make more effort than ripping open a packet and throwing something in the microwave, that's worth a celebration. Lord knows that is more than most of us can manage during a lot of the work week.
