The author also seems to discount the possibility that out there there are
people who actually enjoy prep-work, and find it helps them de-stress.  For
example, mashing up a pesto sauce while sipping a nice glass of wine is
better than therapy.  :)

(On the other hand, it would be nice to have house-elves to handle the
cleaning up part.)

But actually, that's a serious question.. I wonder if cooking in the home
is, in fact, on the wane, because people feel they don't have time for it.
I mean, let's face it, it takes some know-how (BUT not necessarily more
effort) to come up with a decent meal for supper, especially under time
constraints.  The author seems to be laboring under the idea that home
cookery is a terrible ordeal, when it doesn't have to be.
