I was annoyed by her directing her remark at "The Poor", because lots of poor people CAN cook, and in fact she should have said Lots of people these days can't cook. <br /><br />When I was Health Visiting it shocked me how many young mothers - of all social backgrounds and incomes - could not cook. Had no idea! <br />Now while like you I am mostly self-taught, and apart from fairy cakes, gravy, and dumplings and Scouse, my mum didn't actually TEACH me how to cook, but her example was there, as was yours, presumably. I absorbed without realising her shopping, preparation and cooking of food, understood what it entailed. We now have a whole generation of children growing up, many of whom have never seen their mothers cook, never had a lesson or discussion about cookery at school. <br />I'm all for people lie Jamie who bring ordinary cooking into the lives of his viewers- some of it will rub off. The same with some other TV chefs who are not into the celebrity/ competitive business. <br />We need to spread the word!! Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.com
