Self-eating that children do not come home Narrowing eating experience “What do you want to eat?”
　In relation to the regeneration of family ties through food, Ms. Iwamura took up the topic of "self-eating" as a matter of "very concern".
　"Self-sufficient" food means that parents buy their children what they like and let them prepare it themselves.
　As children grow up in such families, they often eat out, or stay at a friend's house, eat dinner, and never come back. was.
　On the other hand, the fact that mothers show off their cooking skills and say, ``There will be food when you come home,'' is a ``very important point'' that can maintain the child's centripetal attachment to the family even when the child grows up, says Mr. Iwamura.
　In addition, Mr. Iwamura advised, "I think it's better to stop the habit of putting what the child answers on the table when asked, "What do you want to eat?"
　According to Mr. Iwamura, "Children never mention something they have never eaten."If you just repeat ramen, yakisoba, and fried rice as your child says, you will end up with a poor food experience.
　“Mothers place a great deal of importance on not forcing it on their children. I don’t know if I should impose it on them, but by saying, ‘This is delicious. It is also the power of a mother to spread the word.
　Mr. Kumakura quoted Rosanjin Kitaoji, a famous gourmet, who said, "The best food is the food at home." ”, I called on you to say “It’s delicious” at your daily dining table.

A representative of easy recipes, rice balls are filling and popular with men.
　Also, as a recent trend in cooking, people prefer “simple things that can be made quickly”.
　The most frequently searched word in Cookpad is "easy". “Onigirazu” became a big hit because it was easy to make.
　In contrast to “onigiri,” which is a type of rice ball, it was popular because it was easy to spread out and just put rice and ingredients on it and wrap it, and the name was interesting.
　It was originally introduced in the manga "Cooking Papa" more than XNUMX years ago, but it appeared in Cookpad last fall and spread quickly.
　Mr. Kusabuka said, ``It is a big hit because you can put various things such as omelet in it and eat it like a sandwich.In fact, I thought that everyone wanted to eat rice. It's really good, and I think it really fills you up."
　According to Mr. Iwamura's research, he started to see rice balls more often this year.According to Mr. Iwamura, "There is a rule that the staple food and side dishes should be combined."
　"I've been saying for about five years that someday rice will be like that, so (looking at the rice balls) I thought, 'Oh, it's done.'"

Mixing home-cooked food with sumptuous Japanese cuisine is also a problem
　Mr. Goto, a culinary researcher, said, "I think it would be nice if people could eat the original rice ball, but it would be sad if life ended without rice balls."
　Goto's mother, Chisumiko, was known as a leading researcher of tea kaiseki cuisine.
　“When my mother was teaching, she was very happy when I cooked sumptuous dishes. When people think of Japanese cuisine, they think that the food served at a restaurant is Japanese food, but home cooking and the food served at a restaurant are completely different things. It may have been the unreasonableness that led to the collapse of washoku.”
　As for his own experience, he says, “I think that XNUMX% of Japanese cuisine is complete with dashi, but I am often asked how I can make it easier without using dashi. I would like to make it clear from now on that it is not difficult if you do it well, and that it is easy if you have dashi."
