Let’s take a break from nutrition. I like cooking with others because:
- I learn new techniques, glean ideas and adapt them to my own cooking - similarly, others learn from me.
- More hands means faster prep work, which means less time actually cooking.
- More dishes, more variety
- You can learn a lot about people from their cooking, and how they cook with others.
- There’s an incredible intimacy that food affords - to cook well requires all the senses, and to share that with others brings them closer. It almost transcends genetics - if I cook with you, you might as well be my brother.
There are so many other reasons, but I think this sums them up.

steph added these pithy words on Oct 05 08 at 17:23you should start a monthly cooking group. to start things off you can choose the “topic” in which you will cook around. like, a certain part of the world, a technique, a color, a specific vegetable and so on. People can come with plans for their own dish based on that “topic.” you could even bring wine/beer into the mix.
