So true. Being a food lover and very keen cook I've been teaching my eldest how to prepare food, cook and combine flavours etc. It really isn't difficult but I can't think of a single one of his mates (male or female) who knows or wants to know how to cook. Even in these inflationary times, a little common sense and imagination can turn relatively cheap ingredients into really good, tasty food far cheaper and more healthy than the ready meals, processed foods and takeaways so many people seem to live on these days.
