Off topic - Thankfully I live in a climate where this is never an issue. I may be rugged up in all kinds of clothing, but the grill is never off limits
My dad and a mate actually took cooking classes when I was 12 or 13. We didn't really see much output from it until my mum went away for a week to a conference and dad pulls the fancy french cooking classes out of his butt. Mum was almost sacked as full time cook at that point - I don't think my brothers and I had eaten that well before. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have lasted - a little to much time taken for a full time worker to whip up gourmet everyday
My mum is not a bad cook but when you have a limited budget and it is necessary to put something nutritious on the table every day, you do tend to fall back to the basics (meat and three veg).
Fast forward to now - my wife is a good cook, but tends to be very recipe focussed while I'm more a case of "what is in the cupboard and what can I create with that". I've really only had one disaster - added some vinegar to a stir fry to try and compensate for the over sweet sauce - eewww! We share the cooking and already have the two year old helping to stir things and hopefully we can get him interested in proper cooking early.
For those who don't cook now - I recommend doing a couple of evening courses - our local community college has some really good classes and they just help you to get the basics down and are usually quite social as well (20 people cooking up a storm then sit down with a few bottles of wine and eat!
