New cook in the house!

Hey guys i just started cooking and so far it's the only craft I enjoy doing. Before this post i went through and read everything every ones posted. I see now that crafting is a hard life as no one is truly educated on the matter. But i too feel that it is because most FFXIV players atm are just.... uneducated... you can find this in players who allot their points into three attributes. Since day one the developers of the game have been hinting over and over that people should have their characters BALANCED. Judging from what i've read about the bonuses from food, i feel that Culinarian buffs are just further proof of that!! So as it may seem now that cooking is tough, i feel that in VERY due time, the general public will be educated about the game more thus making Culinarian one of the top crafting professions.

Either way, i am very excited to be joining this field and i hope i can learn a lot from everyone here!!!
