It's funny when most people try to see another person's point of view but others decide that it is soapbox time. To me cooking, at least in terms of the everyday routine (I'm not talking chefs here, or people who, like, bake cakes from scatch!!!) is much like the other negotiations that go on in a marriage. Who is going to get up for night feedings. Who is doing the grocery shopping. Whose turn is it to change the diaper. We both like cooking for occassions and I fancy myself an excellent maker of simple things (haha). But the day to day can obviously become overwhelminga and when I walk in at the end of the day the last thing I often want to do is "whip up" a meal for the fam. That being said, we DO think it is important to eat together and eat at home so we DO do it, almost every day. It gets easier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-42135097076870412872009-08-04T16:44:25.986-07:002009-08-04T16:44:25.986-07:00@Naila: At the risk of being harsh, who the hell ...@Naila: At the risk of being harsh, who the hell are you?

Most of us don't enjoy going to work for 8-9 hours, but we do it. Many of us did not enjoy school and homework, but we did it. It offends me when I see seemingly aware women proclaim that they cannot cook. Listen, if you cannot even feed your own ass without depending on someone else (take out, restaurant, etc.) then you are not independent. <br /><br />The amount of processed food that kids eat is shocking to me, and I am convinced that diabetes, heart disease, and obesity will be the biggest health issue we will have to deal with in our next generation. <br /><br />So, even if people do not like to cook, they should learn to do it, and do it well. We need to stop politicizing cooking -- it is not about feminism or emancipation. It is about being able to embrace and control the basic essential of life, food.Nailanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-55858390056241970512009-08-04T12:46:09.641-07:002009-08-04T12:46:09.641-07:00Coincidentally yesterday's fresh air on radio ...Coincidentally yesterday's fresh air on radio interviewed Pollan on the same. <br /><br />While I do not like to cook too much - some days I do wish I had learnt more cooking while my mom was around.

She did, however, enjoy making me snacks and mouthwatering desserts. But she did not believe that cooking was solely a woman's job, so she never asked me to learn. She said my husband and I should learn together!! Up until my early twenties, I couldn't boil water. But now I find I love cooking, it calms me down after a long day at work. And of course, I ask my mom for all her recipes, and my husband and I share in the cooking. My dilemma is not the cooking, if only I could cook and he would do all the cleaning, that would be manna from heaven.SM, DCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-37358352158762403462009-08-04T10:37:14.403-07:002009-08-04T10:37:14.403-07:00My mother enjoyed cooking .

That makes me very happy. <br />I am not a big fan of daily cooking but do not hate it enough to order food everyday. Have a learned a few tricks to cook at home without spending a lot of time in the kitchen. At the same time, once in a while I will cook an elaborate meal and use only the freshest of ingredients - i am talking whole garlic, not paste, not even peeled. The old fashioned way feels good depending on who its for!<br />And yes, I do wish my husband had more interest in cooking and I hate the fact that cooking is associated and expected frm women. The expected part is what takes the fun out of it actually.

I grew up with a mom who didn't love to cook, but did mostly. More than what we ate, I remember that we every meal together as a family and that those are the times that made us close. But I never got the sense that she really loved to do it; just acccepted it as a chore, not the worst. I have pretty much the same attitude. But I am married to a Gujarati now, and I have seen a completely different ethos around cooking. They (or at least the ones I know) and especially his mother's generation, are almost obsessed with cooking. Before they ask, "how are you?" they ask "What did you eat?" It's kind of annoying, to be honest because they hold it up as a judgment standard, which kills what little joy I had in it. Unfortunately, the hubby doesn't cook either; fortunately, he has no problem with take out or eating out or my lame attempts at home cooking.aranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-71770540561385589032009-08-04T08:10:58.406-07:002009-08-04T08:10:58.406-07:0027 minutes a day is fiiiine with me!27 minutes a day is fiiiine with me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-52786552247225364722009-08-04T08:09:24.670-07:002009-08-04T08:09:24.670-07:00um. people hate art too????!um. people hate art too????!mmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-58402907879089253912009-08-04T08:09:10.901-07:002009-08-04T08:09:10.901-07:00why does cooking get such a bad wrap? i don't...why does cooking get such a bad wrap? i don't get why so many people hate it. it's just like art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-57764022030676234312009-08-04T08:08:49.221-07:002009-08-04T08:08:49.221-07:00awesome article. michal pollen is the sh*t.awesome article. michal pollen is the sh*t.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-13994197807889359012009-08-04T08:05:45.689-07:002009-08-04T08:05:45.689-07:00In my mind it is simple: If you love cooking, luc...In my mind it is simple: If you love cooking, lucky you.
