Instant sauces... Is it still considered "cooking"?

Yesterday, I rustled up an awesome chicken korma. Made loads of the stuff as (1) I'm visiting my sister's family and there'll be about 10 to feed and (2) I bought frozen chicken that was a solid block I couldn't separate.

All the feedback was super positive, the kids are fussy eaters and all had second portions. This pleases me.

The star of the show, a jar of Patak's Chicken Korma sauce. The preparation is still a little bit involved, took me 30 minutes to cut, chop, sear etc

My question: Is it still considered cooking if you're not cooking with raw ingredients?

Yes it’s considered cooking if it’s anything beyond a ready meal

I think so.

I don't often use jars of sauce or seasoning kits but I bought a kit from m and s recently to make a Chinese dish and it was really delicious. Sometimes you don't have all the individual spices to hand.

With 10+ years in a past life as a chef, many places where you think food is "Cooked" for you, its often just microwaved or, reboiled (unless grilled steaks etc) which in my opinion is awful.

But at home, if you have to put it in a pan, oven or even a Microwave, its still cooking.

It may not be Michelin Star food but, if the people eating it like it, who cares! Its not like you are charging for it!

Not everyone is able or, willing to spend 2 hrs making food from scratch. Food snobbery it just elitist bullshit!

You're not the first chef I've heard say that.

Cooking’s like sex. Sometimes you just want a quickie.

"Cooking’s like sex. Sometimes you just want a quickie."

And sometimes you want to spend all day doing it. (Sometimes you do it with other people watching …)

You did well to make a jar of Patak's stretch to ten people
