Brits have seemingly fallen out of love with cooking – with more than one in four reluctant, or simply too lazy, to try out any new recipes in the kitchen. A poll of 2,000 adults found that three in five (60 per cent) only cook out of necessity, with 29 per cent of unadventurous Brits cooking the same dishes on rotation.
And seven in ten put off trying new recipes, in fear of it going wrong. The classic Sunday roast is the most common dish being made at home, alongside spaghetti bolognese, Shepherd’s pie, and stir fry.
The study was commissioned by vegetable brand Tenderstem, to launch its “Suppertime Sonnets”, in partnership with farmer and former JLS singer JB Gill. He is seen performing in a field, reciting classic recipes in the style of Shakespearean sonnets, in a bid to get Brits more creative when cooking.
