I blew so many minds in grad school with "how to roast a chicken" parties. Bring a chicken and a bottle of wine and you can learn that it's stupid easy! If I weren't engaged we could have had more than a few "how to make chicken stock after breakfast" after-parties. Heh heh heh
Cooking is so essential but is so exotic to too many...
(I had to take Home-ec in middle school and we never cooked a chicken. Made apple fritters and a quilt but never somehow hemmed trousers. Useless.)
