I have a few new ideas on how to get my husband and me back in the habit of cooking together.
If you have a lot of people coming over, you can always make meals together.
If you really want to be cooking together, it could be a good idea to have a large, open kitchen and have all of your ingredients and utensils on hand.
I can see a lot of benefits to cooking together. Obviously, it’s nice to have a big, open kitchen and all of your ingredients and utensils on hand. But I also see the potential to save money by making meals together — because you can cook at your own pace. If you’re both cooking, you can save on ingredients by just grabbing things you like and cooking from the beginning.
Yes, having a large, open kitchen and all of your ingredients and utensils on hand is nice, but the savings could be huge. In a recent survey of more than 1,000 people, one in eight people said they would buy a larger kitchen in order to save money and live in a more convenient area.
I know the concept is a little gross, but cooking together could be a great way to save money. So in your own kitchen, you could make a meal together and then invite guests over to your cozy home and cook together too.
Sounds like a plan to me, and it doesn’t have to be a large one. The possibilities are limitless. You could create a small group of meals that you then invite guests over to take.
I don’t have one myself, but I do know a few people who do. For instance, if you live in a smaller apartment building you can make meals using the same ingredients you would typically need to make them at home. You can also make meals that you bring to your own home and then use it to cook for your guests. A good example is the French Onion and Leek recipe from the book, Cook Your Own Meals.
