I always liked math when I was in high school, but have little application for it now. I liked that it had rules that needed to be applied, and as long as you followed the rules you got the right answer.
But you don't need to like math for mathematical meals to make sense. Making meals can sometimes be challenging, but by applying some simple math concepts you can have a framework to start creating meals from. The basic concept to creating meals is to have some simple formulas or equations to follow.
