Oh, absolutely. Most dommes I know are total foodies, and it makes so much sense to elevate an essential function to an art form for the senses. As for baking and cooking, for me, it activates the same parts of my brain. Baking is an excellent combination of precision and creativity and requires a lot of focus. Of course, we excel at those mental tasks.

I make huge batches of cookies a couple of times a year, sugar or gingerbread, and give them to my friends and neighbors. As a side note, after 8 years of having my dungeon in Paris, NONE of my neighbors suspect a dang thing. I am always "The American with the cookies!" (And bad French :D)

This ability also translates to delicate sauces if you try them. The hollandaise sauce for my Eggs Atlantic (eggs benedict with salmon) will bring tears to your eyes.

Fun post!
