Cooking together as a class was really fun and also a learning experience. I got to learn how to properly cut a pomegranate as well as make a new kind of bark and homemade potato chips. Also, I felt like we were able to socialize more during while cooking together than when we went out to eat at Laughing Seed. We talked throughout the preparation process as well as the eating portion of the night.
Through cooking together, you can talk and create community while preparing foods that everyone will enjoy. I think that this is one of the ways we can combat the industrial food industry, by preparing foods on our own, not eating at fast food restaurants as often, and by creating community that likes to prepare food and socialize together.
This class has taught me that yes, the industrialized food market has taken hold over American food cuisine, but there are still ways that you can eat healthy and still enjoy your food. By preparing meals at home with friends and buying local produce and groceries from farmers or farmers markets.
