How you can save money and eat a healthier diet by cooking at home - The Sun
Despite the fact that there are many options for eating meals outside the home, many of us prefer a good home-cooked meal. Food prepared at home has the potential to be more healthful and economical than food purchased from restaurants, fast-food eateries and home-delivered meal kits. Though it appears that home-cooking is on the rise, a lack of fresh ideas in the kitchen and basic cooking skills are common barriers to eating well at home.
During the last couple of decades, the rates of cooking have actually increased, particularly among men. It’s not just older folks who are doing the cooking. One study that found that 72 percent of people cook at least four nights a week reported that Millennials are leading the charge in this cooking revolution.
The rising popularity of cooking shows, celebrity chefs and food blogs is likely tied to this trend of cooking for leisure and entertainment. Still, many people cook at home for practical purposes like feeding young children and maintaining control of food ingredients, especially for health reasons or food allergies. While many people enjoy the convenience and social aspect of dining out, it is common knowledge that homemade food is often better for us.
