Research has found that 1 in 12 younger people can’t cook a single meal unaided, so meal-box delivery company, HelloFresh has decided to provide five simple recipes to get kids cooking this October Half-Term.
Children and teenagers not being taught how to cook could have an impact on younger adults and their abilities in the kitchen. According to a YouGov survey, almost half (46%) of Brits say they never or rarely cook a meal from scratch, with 49% of them saying they frequently use jarred sauces or frozen foods.
The research found that one in twelve younger Brits can’t cook a single meal unaided. Recipe Development Manager, Mimi Morley, from HelloFresh said: “Cooking is one of life’s most valuable lessons but there’s still a gradual decline in the percentage of people who can cook.”
