Sometimes, a taste may surprise us suddenly, as it is so familiar with the food cooked by mum in childhood and hence reminds us a lovely memory. However, children today may not share the same experience with us when they grow up, because modern parents usually spare less time to prepare food at home and choose to dine out. In my mind, this is a tragic trend that should be reversed timely.
Admittedly, it is convenient and enjoyable to have dinners in a restaurant. The restaurant not only helps us save much time on purchasing and preparing food, but also offers many options on delicious and nutritious dishes. Especially for people busy with work or study, dining in restaurants is the most efficient choice. Take students’ exam weeks as an instance. With much time spent on preparing exams and finishing assignments, students can hardly spare extra time to cook. During this periods, various local restaurants are most busy, as they successfully cater students’ needs.
However, no matter how reasonable it seems to dine out when one has no time to cook, the role of homemade foods is irreplaceable. In the first place, homemade foods are much healthier than those offered in restaurants. From the very beginning, people are able to select the most fresh vegetable and meat in the supermarket, and than cook in a healthy way. Even better, if one has some general knowledge of nutrition, he can design and prepare a balanced diet for the whole family. It is controllable that how much calorie, protein and carbohydrate the family takes in. On the contrary, in restuarants, we usually have no idea about the condition of foods before they are served. In addition, the chef in restaurants often adds too many various seasonings to improve tastes, such as oil, pepper and salt. If people dine out frequently, the absorption of excessive fat and salt may gradually lead to chronic diseases.
In the second place, cooking at home not only provides family members with ideal opportunities to communicate with each other, but also is important for the pass on of dietary culture. As people are usually busy with their work and study, it seems they have less time to sit down and talk together. But, the process of cooking and cleaning dishes requires family members to cooperate. While washing vegetable and preparing bread dough, people naturally share anecdotes and give opinions. To prepare dinner is also a perfect way to express love and care. In a word, cooking at home effectively strengthens bonds between family members. Moreover, as children learn cooking skills from parents, a nation’s valuable cooking culture is handed down from generation to generation. For instance, it is cool to treat friends at home with spaghetti serving with the secret sauce learnt from grandma.
To sum up, compared to dinning out, cooking and eating at home is a better option for people to keep healthy, strengthen family ties and hand down family catering culture.
