Here's the thing about home cooking.
It usually ends up being women's work
Most people don't like to do it
It's the only chore most people can afford to offload
It takes time, skill, & resources
BUT
It's really hard to eat well if you don't do it

I know that I can cook a tasty meal in 15 mins, but it's taken me a decade of cooking to get to that point. Chopping, frying, recipes - all individual skills that take ages to perfect

I have been known to take over an hour for Jamie Oliver's "15 minute" meals

-
Yes but those are just lies. They are "15 minutes" if you have everything prepped beforehand and can chop things like a professional chef!

Yes! Totally. I made a sour cream sauce in 5 minutes with dill, garlic, lemon, salt, pinch of sugar, bit of anchovy paste. But the first few times you do it, you probably follow a recipe, aren't confident of your seasoning, takes way longer.
-
And you probably don't have the right ingredients, don't know which brand of anchovy paste will work with the garlic, and you end up with a bad sauce that you feel guilty for having gotten wrong

As a parent responsible for all family meals, I hate the "15 min meal" idea. Gives people the impression that cooking involves almost no labour; it demeans and devalues the cook. Planning, shopping, prepping, cooking, cleaning. 15 mins. Pfft.

It depends. The point is to start from simple food. Boiling an egg, cooking pasta or chicken breasts are not a big deal (imo).
-
Sure, but they are also boring meals. There are a very limited number of things a new cook can make that are: a) tasty b) quick c) reasonably healthy
