There's plenty of how-to-cook information on the internet. I'm a passable cook from what I've learned online. It's easy to learn a new thing every meal, and after a month, you have quite a toolkit.

So I don't disagree with you, but I think there's a faster, easier way now than home ec.

And to Suemoto, every nontrivial thing you cook takes waaaaay longer than getting a $9 burrito.
