In the reading "Doing Cooking" I found a lot of interesting points. First off, it highlights the fact that cooking has been made to be a women's job in today's society. It is described as work with schedule, a work loops in dreary reality, a work without added value and productivity, and a work with a limited duration of satisfaction. I found these critiques pretty harsh. I do believe there is all of these qualities to be found in cooking. Or at least, you could find this harsh reality it any bodies duties; even mens.
   This reading talks about all of the creative qualities it takes to cook. Creativity comes from preparing food from leftovers and calculating cook and preparation time. It is almost as if this reading was giving women credit for being creative and being good problem solvers, but was then shooting them down by saying it is just cooking. It is also interesting how cooking is all of the better of the women's family or anyone eating her food for that matter. It is to maintain a child's good diet and too maintain a good household. The importance of such a role often goes unlooked.
