How many dishes do you cook in a day?

We eat three times a day, basically. Usually, in the morning, most of us take light meals for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, that is when we cook a lot. On average, I cook three dishes everyday: Rice, soup, meat dishes. I cook one set of dishes both for lunch and dinner to save energy. When my grandma was still alive, she usually cooked 5 viands in a day. She loved foods. How about you?

Today we only have 1 dish because it is beef soup. Sometimes we have 2 dishes like fried fish and vegetable dish. We seldom have more than 2 dishes unless there are guests.

it is tiring to cook as well. Cooking beef will take hours.

@Janet357 it is only 4 minutes in our pressure cooker. What's tiring for me is preparing the garlic, onion and ginger for the saute.

I try to prepare 1 veggie or lentils soup in the morning and when I return home I think about preparing another dish or go for leftover if it's tasty.

@Janet357 Some people probably eat rice more than we do. There are people who love to have some kind of bread with their meals, but we don't have it that often.

5 dishes a day sounds a lot, or are the two just smaller side dishes? Sometimes, I'd cook one large dish at lunch so I could just reheat the leftovers for dinner and the next morning. Then maybe add some smaller side dishes or soups and be done for the day.

@Janet357 A fruit salad is a mix of fruits cut int cubes, some people add lemon juice and sugar, I prefer to add orange juice and no sugar, nothing else. Your fruit salad is different, you add tapioca, condensed milk and also preserved fruits.
