Brought tears to my eyes. Vividly written, with a keen appreciation for her mother’s considerable accomplishments. Reminiscent of my own mother-in-law, who is my hero.
Most enjoyable read.
Cooking is not restricted to the feminine gender. Most of the famous chefs have been men

Food is a necessity for all. Everybody should be able to prepare something simple at least. Even if it does turn out to be a boring meal if you have to eat that same simple thing every day, it will keep you alive while you learn to cook something better and tastier.

I’m not sure you read the article, which was fantastic, because your comment reads as a reaction to the title and not the body of the work.
I the same thought process underlies cooking for yourself, as doing your own home improvement, fixing your own car, etc. - If you want to do it right, then do it for yourself.
Why is this totally irrelevant article on hackernews?
The title line did not do the article any justice.

Personally, I love the contents of the article.

Just wish the editor gave it a better title.

What an extraordinarily well written article. It appears the author has won some awards for her writing http://www.aurvi.com/
