C’est un sujet un peu particulier pour Plan Culinaire que nous abordons dans ce nouvel épisode, car il nous divise. Nora adore faire à manger, tandis que Mélissa ne sait pas cuisiner et n’arrive pas à s’y mettre.Pourquoi devrait-on savoir cuisiner et y prendre du plaisir ? Pourquoi tant de pression autour de cette compétence ? Et est-ce que faire à manger est une tâche domestique bien à part ?Pour comprendre ce qui se joue autour de ce savoir-faire, on a interrogé une jeune femme pour qui nourrir sa famille est devenue une corvée et qui a forcé son conjoint à s’y mettre, ainsi qu’un homme qui a appris, petit à petit, à aimer cuisiner. Une autrice américaine a analysé le retour aux fourneaux observé ces dernières années et une chercheuse nous a parlé de l’importance de la formation à la cuisine dès le plus jeune âge.Et puisque la théorie ne suffit pas, on a aussi passé un peu de temps en cuisine, on vous laisse découvrir…Vous pouvez vous abonner à Plan Culinaire sur Apple Podcasts, sur votre appli préférée grâce à notre flux, sur Google Podcasts, SoundCloud, YouTube, Deezer, Stitcher...Références citées dans l’épisode (ou pour continuer la réflexion)Recette de la quiche poireaux-chèvre sur le blog Mango and SaltLe livre d’Emily Matchar, Homeward Bound: Why Women Are Embracing the New DomesticityLe programme AFCC “Arts de faire culinaires au collège”Sondage BVA 2017 : Les Français·es aiment-ils/elles cuisiner ?Sondage OpinionWay 2017 : Les Français·es et leurs dîners du quotidien See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We talk with Lucy Lloyd,  a self-taught Apple product repair and support technician living in Sedan, Minnesota, a town with a population of less than fifty people. We talk about everything from growing up in a small town to setting up her independent repair business in the corner of her mom’s flower shop. We also talk a lot about the right to repair, a really important political issue that directly impacts repair workers like Lucy and all of us who use, consume, and depend on technologies from cars to smart phones.    Additional links/info below...

A couple of years ago I was living in a hip district of a university town in the Midwest. It had all the hip stuff you’d expect: a record store (and I mean record store), a big used bookstore, a greasy spoon, two dive bars, a coffee shop, and two restaurants where you could buy 40 dollar meals (hipsters splurge too!). Then, suddenly, a knitting store appeared. It looked out of place. Knitting? So I went in to take a look. Much to my surprise, it was full of hipsters, or rather hipster women. The place was very casual. It had a coffee bar, homemade cookies, and couches. You could just wander in, get a cuppa, and, well, knit. According to Emily Matchar, what I’d seen was a reflection of a return to domesticity. In Homeward Bound: Why Women Are Embracing the New Domesticity (Simon and Schuster, 2013), Matchar gives us the why and how of urban gardening, urban chickens, urban canning, and–that’s right–urban knitting and sewing. According to Matchar, youngish women are rejecting high-flying careers to go “back to the land,” so long as that land is in a city. A movement or a fad? Listen to the interview and judge for yourself. All I know is that now that I’ve read Matchar’s book, I have new respect for my mom. She was way ahead of the curve on this one. The woman made all her own clothes. And not only that, she had a career, though not a very high-flying one. She “had it all” before “having it all” was deemed impossible.
