It turns out Australia has some of the highest grocery prices and eating-out costs in the world (go figure!). All this adds up to quite a culture of cooking from scratch. In the last year meat prices have gotten really bad (chicken over at $10kg), so I've switched to vegetarian and spent the difference on better quality vegies and dairy products. In the spirit of "energy management" I find that 20mins of cooking can be a great change of pace from the brain work of study. Scott,

Most of the times it is only 'it's healthier' and that is it. But you can actually convince me to cook for myself! I will read this post soon more carefully and start cooking!~ Thanks Finally an article on cooking I can agree with. Most of the times it is only ‘it’s healthier’ and that is it.

There is definitely a learning curve but afterwards it becomes a real joy. I enjoy cooking because for me it is the time I disconnect from the world and just focus on peeling, dicing and sauteeing. It is a relaxing time, getting closer to nature. :) Hey Scott, great article!

I love to cook too. Cooking is fun and we can control the portion of oil, sugar and salt. We can taste the real flavor of the naked food instead of processed or high heat cooked meat. Enjoy cooking, Scott. I agree with you. I love to cook too.
