I’ve made a comment about this before: a lot of people lose appetite when cooking meals because it puts their brain into work mode, and we don’t associate snacks or food with working.
Probably a more prevalent thing for new cooks or people who aren’t rooutinely cooking dinner.
This is why cooking for other people, with a proper dinner ritual (set the table, talk to others, stay in one place and don’t dsitract yourself with youtube videos) is important. In my opinion. It overcomes the lack of hunger.
If cooking puts you in work mode, you made something wrong. Cooking is fun. Cooking is enjoying the creation of something wonderful, be it for yourself or others.
Why should it? That makes no sense. I cook to raise appetite, whatever I cook.

That’s a lot of pressure!
If you have to cook dinner quickly because you forgot to and you have to cook for 3+ people, it can easily feel like work
Not for me. It’s an adrenaline rush, yes, but that’s eu-stress.
