Ask HN: Hackers who cook

While going through a ProductHunt post[1] I came across a fellow HNer[2] who was following NYT Cooking[3] and cooking with a plan on a regular basis. I was very curious to understand how he spaces time to cook and work. And the type of stuff he cooks.

Which kind of inspired me to start working on project to follow someone and get inspired by their – meal plans, shopping patterns, recipes, hacks, tips etc (Another inspiration [4])

I am trying to find hackers who cook at home on a regular basis (even if its only 2-3 times a week).

If you cook, some questions:

1. Why do you cook? Is it to save cash or is it recreation? Or something else?

2. Do you plan ahead? Like a weekly meal plan?

3. What kind of things do you cook usually?

4. Do you follow any diet? Atkins, Slow Carb etc.

5. Do you have any life hacks, tips to be more productive as a cook?

Disclosure: I run Cucumbertown (http://www.cucumbertown.com/), the Tumblr for cooks.

Edit:

Seems like this was taken off the homepage for some reason. The comment rate’s coming down.

Thanks a lot for the encouraging comments. A short but exciting Q&A. If you can help me out more, please reach me on [email protected]
