Being good at cooking is a great skill to have. Just look at the great Memorial Day dinner I created in under 15 minutes.
Grilled salmon steaks with herb dressing and boiled baby potatoes with cilantro. The dressing for the salmon steaks is very easy to make: lemon grass, two cloves of garlic, some fresh basil leaves, some fresh ginger, and a pinch of salt.
Healthy, fast, easy to prepare. And it looks beautiful, too.
Strange I was planning to buy some salmon steaks at the market today. Now I have a serving suggestion 🙂
I really like what you said – “Being good at cooking is a great skill to have”. So many people see a woman cooking as conforming with some gender model. Indeed, many women will go out of their way to avoid even learning to cook for this reason.
Like you, I see cooking as an essential life skill. Both men and women that can’t cook for themselves are somehow not yet quite adult.

It took me a while to confess to the world the dark, haunting secret that I love to cook: https://clarissasblog.com/2009/04/17/cooking/
It was a huge revelation even for people who had known me for years. 🙂 🙂
