The Joy of Cooking for Others

In this chapter, they discuss the joy of cooking for others and the appreciation that comes with it. They mention the value of homemade gifts like marmalade, jelly, and cakes and how they are more meaningful than store-bought items. They also talk about the changing attitudes towards food in the 70s and 80s with the rise of fast food and ready meals, but they emphasize the importance of sticking to home cooking and using ingredients that are easily accessible and not too exotic.
