Dumbing down cookbooks

[k9krazee]

Wow, its amazing how things have changed. I LOVE to cook

I'm currently in a Food and Nutritional Science class at school. The teacher one day asked who knew what hamburger came from ( ) and some Freshman said Horse! She honestly thought beef came from a horse I'm not surprised they're having to "dumb down" cookbooks...

My mom taught me everything I know! As she had MS, she couldn't do lots of things, but she gave me instructions from her wheelchair! Though I don't like to cook, I know all I have to know thanks to her!!!

I had trained many cooks when I ran that cafeteria. One lady had no idea how to even follow a recipe, have never made anything by a recipe. After the first year of her working for me, her husband came to pick her up from work one day and told me how much he has benifitted from what she learned at work. He smiled and said, "I actually get HOMEMADE cornbread and ROLLS now.... AT HOME!"

I am proud to say, I taught all my kids how to cook, even the boys and what they didn't learn from me they learned from cook books. I think both my son's had to teach their wives how to cook. Kevlin really enjoys cooking.

It is just not the art of cooking that the kids today are not learning. We all sat at the dinner table to eat at the same time, families don't do that much anymore and to me that is a very important part of being a "family".
