David Tamarkin, editor of Epicurious, discusses the 3rd annual launch of his #Cook90 challenge, which encourages participants to cook 90 meals in 30 days. Any month of the year, participants must cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. The plan is for those that are looking to sharpen their cooking skills, or for the people looking to make cooking a bigger part of their lives in the new year. Tamarkin talks what constitutes cooking and what does not. If you're heating up a frozen pizza, that's not cooking. However, if you took any fresh ingredients and altered them with heat or combined them in a way, you have cooked something. This includes anything from a new pasta recipe to creating a sandwich. Tamarkin notes that cooking is a dying practice. For the first time in America, people are spending more money at restaurants than they are on home cooked meals. He hopes that #Cook90 can change that.
