At Swan's every adult cooks and it's not really a problem that some are not good or experienced cooks since we cook in teams of two or sometimes 3 and the less experienced cooks just end up teamed up with more experienced cooks who tell them what to buy or chop and when to put things in the oven etc. Also there is all the setting the table and clean up involved so everyone has plenty to do and we eat well. We even had a disabled Ukrainian man staying with us for 3 months who lived at home with his mother in the Ukraine and had never cooked in his life; who helped out when it was my turn to cook and we ended up learning some Russian dishes--he emailed his mother for recipes and she sent them back in Russian and then he translated them for us and helped us prepare them. It was a learning experience for all and he went home better able to cook for himself. I really recommend the universal cooking participation--it's fun, educational and community building. Don't let yourselves be defined by your fears or current inabilities. Bonnie Fergusson Swan's Market Cohousing Oakland, CA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
