Taking the time
Recently, a coworker and I were discussuing how our generation seems to have lost the knack of cooking. It seems like a lot of people my age don’t cook as often as I do, and they also don’t seem as creative in the kitchen.
Why is this? I ‘m betting the reason is that they don’t have the time (or make the time) to cook a good meal. It’s really not that difficult to do, and there are tons of cookbooks and web sites full of recipes to try, so it’s got to be the time factor.
The pace at which we all move through life can make it difficult to make time to cook, but it’s a big part of my life and I really enjoy it (and I eat very well too).
I feel pretty strongly that sometimes we need to just slow down and take the time to enjoy the simple things, like a home cooked meal with family and / or friends. This is one of the ideas behind the Slow Food movement, and resonates strongly with me.
If you don’t take the time to cook regularly, why not?
