TV chef Bobby Flay

4a
Cooking in the US is now a spectator sport. We love
watching famous chefs cook on TV, and we buy their
books. But do we use them?
l\4any young Americans can't even boil an egg and many never or
hardly ever cook. 0ne teenager said "l can't cook- but it doesn't
matter. You just go to the supermarket and buy a pizza and put it in
the microwave. Cooking is a waste of time." A lot of adults think the
same, and don't cook. They buy pre-cooked meals from th
supermarket or get take-out food. And if parents hate cooking, they
don't teach their children to cook. l\4any schools don't teach cooking
- they prefer to teach computer skills and foreign languages.

I think all this is very sad. For me, cooking is a very important skill.
Everybody loves having a delicious meal, but restaurants are
expensive. People who can cook well always have a lot of friends.
l\4en love women who can cook-and women love men who can
cook. Who would you prefer as a husband or wife? Somebody who
can use a computer or a good cook?
