Food: cooking and sharing

Although people still say they don't have time to cook proper food, there are many pleasures they miss.

Food shared is food loved, whether it be simple buttered bread or something a bit more adventurous. Having the crack around your meals makes the cook happy to share the fruits of their labour, and enables the others gathered round the table to talk, eat and share common bonds.I think that the more we can make it more fashionable, sexy or whatever it takes to push food, cooking and sharing further up everybody's list of priorities, then the better off we all will be. 

Sometimes it's just the fear of failure that some people see as a good and valid reason to keep going back to the ready meal or the take away. It's up to the Do's to do what we can to help the Won't Dos and Can't Do's.

It may have sparked controversy but Jamie's campaign is along the right lines: big screen TV's are always less important than Food.
