>>> WHAT GOES INTO MAKING A MEAL?
DR.
DAVID LAMBERT AND ROBIN ROLLINS SAY A LOT MORE THAN CUTTING CARROTS, GARLIC, AND GARNISH.
>> HOW DO PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE MEANS FIGURE OUT WHAT TO COOK?
>> WE SET OUT TO SEE HOW PEOPLE GO ABOUT DECIDING WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO COOK, AND WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO THEM IN THEIR COOKING, WHERE THEY LOOKING TO COOK SOMETHING THAT THE FAMILY LIKED, WAS A COMFORT FOOD, WAS IS SOMETHING TRADITIONAL, WAS A SOMETHING QUICK AND EASY, WHAT WERE THE GOALS THAT PARTICULAR DAY?
>> THEIR NEW BOOK, MAKING DINNER, HOW AMERICAN HOME COOKS PRODUCE A MAKE MEANING OUT OF THE EVENING MEAL EXPLORES HOW WE THINK AND FEEL ABOUT OURSELVES, OUR FOOD, AND COOKING.
AFTER INTERVIEWING MORE THAN 50 COOKS, DOCUMENTING OVER 300 HOME-COOKED DINNERS, WHAT ENDS UP ON THE PLATE IS ACTUALLY A DEMONSTRATION OF PERSONALLY IDENTITY.
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, IDEOLOGIES OF GENDER, PARENTHOOD, AND MORE.
>> FOR THE FAMILY FIRST CASE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM THAT THE FAMILY LIKED THE FOOD.
THEY FEEL VERY HURT, SOME OF THEM, IF THE FAMILY DOESN'T LIKE THE FOOD.
IT IS LIKE A REJECTION OF YOU WHEN PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOUR FOOD SO FOR FAMILY FIRST COOKS, THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
>> IT MEANS A LOT TO THEM, IT IS ESSENTIAL WAY IN WHICH THE HOUSEHOLD IS ORGANIZED.
IT MAY BE THE ONLY TIME THAT EVERYONE IS AROUND THE TABLE UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE.
>> AND CERTAINLY FOR WOMEN WITH CHILDREN, A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF MOTHERHOOD IS PREPARING AND SERVING HEALTHY FOOD FOR YOUR CHILDREN.
>>:DELIVERED IS AN ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY AT PENN STATE UNIVERSITY LEHIGH VALLEY.
HIS WIFE DR.
ROLLINS IS A PROFESSOR OF SOCIOLOGY.
THE COUPLE FOUND THAT COOKING A HEALTHY MEAL, AND ONE THAT EVERYBODY LIKED THE TWO MOST MOTIVATING FACTORS FOR HOME COOKS.
THE DAY-TO-DAY PRACTICES FOR THE AT HOME CHEF DON'T ALWAYS ALLOW FOR THESE TWO REQUIREMENTS.
>> THEY KNOW THEIR ROUTINE, THEY KNOW THEIR CUSTOMERS.
THEY KNOW THE LIKES AND DISLIKES, IT IS A CHALLENGE TO KEEP UP WITH THEM IN A HOUSEHOLD .
BUT, THEY KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
THEY KNOW THEIR APPOINTMENT, AND WHAT TO EXPECT.
ALL OF OUR COOKS LONG TO HAVE MORE TIME TO DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS, OR TO PLAY AROUND, OR JUST TO PRODUCE THE MEAL IN A RELAXED WAY.
>> THERE FOR THE RESEARCH ALLOWED AUTHORS TO PLACE MOST COOKS INTO THREE SPECIFIC TYPES.
THE FAMILY FIRST COOKS, THE TRADITIONAL COOK, AND KEEN COOK, WITH SOME TIPTOEING INTO MORE THAN ONE TYPE.
SO, PBS 39 CAME HERE TO THE EASTON PUBLIC MARKET TO FIND OUT HOW THESE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKS MAKE DINNER, AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT US.
>> I'M FEEDING MYSELF, IT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE MORE VEGETABLE ORIENTED, YOU KNOW LOW FAT PROTEINS.
IF I A FEEDING COMPANY, I AM GOING TO SPICE IT UP A BIT.
>> FOR AMY FOWLER, A KEEN COOK, TRYING SOMETHING NEW AND CHALLENGING AS A MOTIVATOR TO ROLL UP HER SLEEVES AND GET COOKING.
>> I WILL HAVE TWO OR THREE THINGS GOING SO I CAN MEAL PREP FOR THE WEEK.
I AM VERY INTO THE WEIGHT LOSS RIGHT NOW, THE HEALTHY COOKING.
IT DEPENDS WHAT I'M FEEDING OTHERS AND MYSELF.
I DO RECEIVE A BOX OF ORGANIC PRODUCE EVERY OTHER SATURDAY, AND IT RIGHT ON MY DOORSTEP, SO I'M WORKING WITH WHATEVER THAT WILL BE.
>> FOR THE KING/FAMILY FIRST COOK, HEATHER NUTTING, TRYING SOMETHING NEW WHILE PROVIDING NUTRITIOUS HEALTHY MEALS FOR HER HUSBAND AND TWO TEEN SONS IS CRUCIAL.
>> I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE AS TEARS RECIPES OUT OF MAGAZINES, AND COPIES THEM DOWN FROM THE INTERNET, PRINCE THEM UP, AND THEN USES IT AS A GUIDELINE.
IT HAS GOT TO HAVE PROTEIN AND OBVIOUSLY, BUT I AM LOOKING FOR FRESH FLAVOR, AND SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
>> MEANWHILE FOR TRADITIONAL COOKS LIKE PAOLO AND LAURA, GETTING IN THE KITCHEN MEANS BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN PAOLO'S HOME COUNTRY AND CULTURE OF ITALY.
FOR PAOLO IT IS A CHANCE TO SHOW LAURA WHAT IT WAS LIKE GROWING UP IN ITALY.
>> IT IS THAT COMFORT FOOD, AND THE MEMORIES IT BRINGS BACK, YOU KNOW BEING BACK WHEN MY MOM WAS MAKING IT, AND HAVING THE WHOLE FAMILY OVER.
>> I HAVE GOT TO LEARN ALL ABOUT ITALIAN FOOD FROM THE INSIDE OUT, IT HAS BEEN GREAT.
>> FOR LAURA IT IS THE TRADITION OF MAKING HOMEMADE COOKIES WITH HER MOTHER THAT BRINGS HER CLOSER TO HER HUSBAND.
ESPECIALLY AROUND THE HOLIDAYS.
AND KEEPS HER GRANDMOTHER'S LEGACY ALIVE.
>> MY MOM HAS ALL OF THE HANDWRITTEN RECIPES FOR MY GRANDMOTHER WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF COOKIES WE MAKE AT CHRISTMAS TIME.
IT REALLY TAKES, YOU KNOW IT IS THE FEELING THAT YOU HAVE THE CONNECTION BACK TO THE PEOPLE BEFORE YOU, YOU KNOW THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER WAS MAKING THAT THING ALMOST 100 YEARS AGO.
COOKING FOR THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE IS REALLY HOW YOU SHOW THEM YOU CARE FOR THEM, YOU ARE CARING FOR YOURSELF, AND FOR THEM AT THE SAME TIME.
>> FOR ALL COOKS, LIPPERT AND ROLLINS FIND EACH TIME WE STEP INTO THE KITCHEN, WE ARE SHOWING OUR CARE AND LOVE FOR OUR FAMILY.
>> WE DON'T HEAL OUR FAMILIES ANYMORE THROUGH MEDICINE.
WE DON'T BUILD HOUSES FOR THEM, WE DON'T MAKE THEIR CLOTHES, MOST OF US, BUT MOST OF US STILL DO COOK FOR THEM.
>> WE TEND TO CRITICIZE THE MODERN COOK THAT IS USING TOO MANY CONVENIENCES, NOT KNOWING IF WE CAN DOING ANYTHING, BUT WHAT ARE THE BASIC MESSAGES WE FOUND FROM ALL OF OUR COOKS WAS THAT THEY DO.
THEY TO UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE DINNER.
THEY DO STILL HAVE A HOME, THEY DO HAVE A GOAL OF PROVIDING FOOD THAT EVERYONE LIKES AND HOUSE BUT, TIME CONSTRAINTS ARE VERY VERY SIGNIFICANT.
>> DESPITE PUBLIC CONCERN ABOUT COOKING GOING AWAY, THIS IS WHAT OUR RESEARCH AND OTHER RESEARCH DOES SHOW.
>> REPORTING FROM EASTON PUBLIC MARKET I AM CASEY LOPEZ FOR PBS THE 90s TONIGHT.
