UK: Young People aren't interested in Cooking, research reveals

[Trumple]

I guess I fall into this category. I just don't see the appeal of cooking - it's so dull. Peeling, chopping, mashing, stirring, washing, cleaning - these are not fun or creative things.

I've been really into Blue Apron lately. It's super good way to try out new foods and learn how to cook new recipes, these Korean Pork Tacos I made the other day were bomb to the diggity bomb. Only thing is it got pricey so I had to cancel my subscription.

I wish I could cook. I have tried to follow recipes so many times as best I could but invariably I fuck up and I mean really, like inedible tier of fuck up and it's a huge waste of time and money. Wish cooking was a thing they taught in schools where I used to live, like they do in some Japan schools.

Where I lived it was cheaper to buy premade but now that I live in Norway that is just prohibitive.

This is what I imagine is going on whenever I'm cooking something, which is rather rare.
Cooking is pretty fun

Cooking is wonderful fun. The best part is finding the right inexpensive ingredients so you don't have to miss your rent payment. SPAM will help you here.

Would love to cook meals in the kitchen at work but it's equipped almost exclusively with things for making quick foods or re-heating. There's microwaves everywhere but no ovens or gas cookers and that's understandable but would wish more places had hot food available instead of the not so tasty food in the vending machines or the vans delivering their overpriced sandwiches & sweets for lunches. I actually just opt for bringing in whatever leftovers from last night or a quickly assembled sandwich because the food options during a working week are often disgusting, sugar laden or expensive otherwise.

Often try to stave off hunger by eating crackers with peanut butter and raisins because it means I won't have to store anything in the kitchen where everyone goes to steal your tasty leftovers.

I don't think that it matters how you grew up, I took a liking to cooking at at 5 was always helping my mum round the kitchen. Now I just got a flat with my fiance 17 years later and I can cook off the top of my head, pasta bake, spag bol, steak/gammon and chips (homemade chips ofc), mac and cheese?

Thats nearly a week there, we usually experiment and have loads of spices just incase it tastes like shit
