The time and effort economy is what gets a lot of us even more than the financial or attention economies on this one. Cooking is hard, but CHOOSING what to cook is even harder. And having to cover all bases and try to have multiple recipes finish somewhat around the same timeframe, I could hardly imagine pulling that off without some backup on the team to pull some punches for me in the late game
I’m fortunate, the only cook in the family who we have to check her recipes is my mother. We’re all great cooks, just when she picks the recipe it’s good like 15% of the time. The rest of us have fancy websites we get recipes from, she just picks the top link on Bing.
