One thing I know about myself is that it’s difficult for me to come up with creative ideas, for example, “a creative title” that all teachers require when an essay is due. So when I was thinking of a metaphor to describe my writing style, I thought of all the things a great writer must include and it came to me that my writing style is somewhat like cooking. The ingredients must all come together to create something wonderful, but they key is that each ingredient plays their own role in the finished product. 

There are endless possibilities of foods that you combine, and that also is true about words. Depending on what type of food you’re making,  will determine what type of essay you’re writing.
