FAITH LAPIDUS: Today women still do most of the cooking. But author Kathleen Collins says television food programs have helped to get more men into the kitchen.
KATHLEEN COLLINS: "You definitely hear many more men talking about it than you would [have] twenty or thirty years ago. It's no longer a women's activity."
FAITH LAPIDUS: She also points out that many people are turning to each other for cooking instruction online.
KATHLEEN COLLINS : "People put up their own videos. There's kind of a grassroots, more home-cooking oriented movement online where people share videos and put them up on their blogs."
STEVE EMBER: Still, Professor Fisher says there is a lack of education in the United States about how to put together a nutritious meal. Eating more meals at home could reduce the amount of salt and fat in the American diet. But she says the meals demonstrated on TV cooking programs are often unbalanced.
SUSAN FISHER: "Not much talk about fish. Not much talk about vegetables. They're just not glamorous."
STEVE EMBER: She has hope, though, that the more people learn about nutrition and cooking, the better they will eat.
SUSAN FISHER: "Perhaps with education once you learn you can do one item, it empowers you to do the next. It's very empowering to feed your family."
