I've found that people who don't cook regularly often overestimate how difficult it is to cook at home. Sure you can go big and cook extravagant meals that take loads of prep time and cook time, but you can also saute some fish filets and some vegetables in 20 minutes start to finish - and most of that time you're still free to do other things around the house.
Of course this advice might not apply in a 400 sq. ft. NYC studio without two burners and room for two pans, but for most people that's not the issue.
- nightski 12y agoVery true. About 2 years ago I forced myself to learn to cook and it has paid off immensely. I know enjoy it very much, and find cooking a healthy delicious meal to be a quick and painless affair.
- zheshishei 12y agoI cooked for myself for a while in college. I'm not sure if a mash up of pasta, tomato sauce, frozen veggies, and boiled chicken thighs counts as "healthy", but that's pretty much what I had every day. I know how to pan sear a fish and stir fry vegetables, but what I didn't know was how to do grocery shopping for 1 without ending up with wasted/spoiled food. For me, it's not the cooking that's hard, it's the grocery shopping/meal planning.
