I was brought up an atheist and have always remained so. But at no time was I led to believe that morality was unimportant or that good and bad did not exist.

Tension translates to your guests. They'll have a much better time having chili and baked potatoes than they would if you did roast duck with a wild cherry sauce and then had to lie down and cry for a while.

I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.

Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.
