Cooking in Today’s World
Cooking, an essential daily activity, has evolved significantly over the centuries. Initially a means of survival, it has transformed into an expression of culture and creativity aided by Technology. In this section of the site our experts explore how cooking habits have changed for the Baby Boomers of today. Going from cooking huge meals for big families to now cooking for one or two is a major shift. Our healthier Diet priorities may have also changed our Lifestyle from eating less portions to low-sodium cooking to becoming vegans.
Cooking is more than just a daily task; it’s a way to express oneself creatively and even therapeutically. The kitchen is a canvas where many find peace and joy in the art of creating something delicious and nourishing. From smart ovens that can be controlled via smartphone to apps that help plan meals and order groceries, technology has made cooking more accessible and less time-consuming. These advancements are not just about convenience; they’re also about enhancing the experience of cooking and eating. Social media platforms have revolutionized how recipes and cooking techniques are shared. Instagram and YouTube, for example, have given rise to food influencers and home chefs who share their knowledge with millions of followers worldwide. Cooking continues to evolve, blending tradition with Innovation. As we look towards the future, the one constant will be the joy and satisfaction derived from creating and sharing meals.

I don’t know why, but ever since the Holidays, I’ve been spammed with ads for Coolina knives. They show up on my phone. They show up on my computer and my iPad. They even started showing up in my dreams, which is the only place I can prepare food without cutting my fingers off. And while I admit it’s a tangent, here’s a true story. When my first wife, Marianne, was pregnant with my first son, Sean, we’d invited my Aunt Maryellen to dinner one evening. Marianne didn’t cook. So, that gave me the opportunity to have two ideas:I thought it would be a good idea to serve turnips. I tho…

Citrus just says sunshine. Which could explain why so many of us (me included) crave these sweet fruits during the winter months. But unlike many of my cravings, that’s apparently not a bad thing.

You probably already knew that, but the benefits don’t stop there: they also contain a hefty dose of good-for-you flavonoids, fiber, and potassi…
