what even is the point of cooking at
home this has been a non question for
most humans because for most of human
history the only person who was gonna
turn this into this into this was you I
prepare food because I want to eat
that's been all of the reasoning that
most humans who've ever lived have ever
needed from our hunter-gatherer life to
our agrarian life and even into much of
our industrial life the only person who
was gonna feed you was most likely gonna
be you or someone in your immediate
social group but now for people like me
living and highly developed
post-industrial economies because I want
to eat is probably one of the weakest
reasons for cooking in my opinion we
live in a world where this chicken costs
about the same as this chicken from the
same store and in this world I think it
really pays to interrogate why we would
buy this one field trip to Oxford and
not that Oxford Oxford Georgia where dr.
Derek Shannon is a sociology professor
at Oxford College of Emory University he
specializes in things like political
economy and teaches a course here that's
quite relevant to our discussion the
sociology of food course that I designed
is a part of what Oxford College calls
our theory practice service-learning
program part of what my students do is
work here on Oxford's organic farm look
at this place even in the middle of
February it's beautiful the apple trees
over here are blooming they've got all
these garlic and onions and cabbage
going but anyway if you ask dr. Shannon
what's the point of cooking at home
these days the first thing he says is
because it's an enjoyable and desirable
activity some people like cooking just
like some people like knitting when you
can go buy a sweater for cheaper than
the materials that it might take indeed
the first good reason for cooking at
home is because it's fun this is in my
view an unassailable reason for doing
anything that isn't particularly harmful
to others or particularly harmful to
your long-term fun having capacity I
recently put out a recipe for French
macaroons in which I encourage people to
loosen their expectations about how
these things should look if you just
care about how they taste and leave the
cosmetics up to fate they become as easy
to make as they are delicious but
you derive pleasure from working to
create cosmetically perfect macaroons I
think that's great you have my blessing
not that you asked for it my argument is
only this if it's making you miserable
to try to create perfectly round smooth
domes with perfect little ruffled feet
then stop make the ugly ones or buy the
beautiful ones also maybe try to think a
little bit more critically about whether
the things that you do really do make
you happy this is something I try really
hard to do especially with regard to my
creative work am i struggling to make
this thing because I enjoy the challenge
