Um hmm. I believe that young people should definitely learn to cook, and both home and school have their unique advantages for this. Learning to cook at home allows young people to have a hands-on experience cooking with their parents or siblings, learning family recipes and traditions. On the flip side, cooking classes at school can provide a structured learning environment, exposure to a variety of cuisines, and the chance to learn from professional chefs. So, in my view, a combination of both home and school cooking experiences would be the ideal recipe for success.
