Cooking With Mother

Cooking is pure Sorealism i.e. practical magic - you take real things and, by an act of human imagination, transform them.

Soreal cooking

 Absolutely. In fact I would say that cooking was the most SOREAL of all the arts. It's clearly magical - the application of complex chemistry to turn inedible, sometimes even poisonous, substances into pleasure.  It's clearly necessary - to surviival - and somehow one of the definitions of humanity. People talk about the discovery of fire being the moment that we became Homos Sapiens: and probably the first thing Prometheus did was have a barbecue.

SOREAL COOKING merits its own book under the soreal art section - and that's where you'll now find your post Marcos

 

What twaddle!

 You two sound like men.  Practical magic my eye!  You obviously haven't cooked three meals a day for the kids for ten years.  Once you have, let's see if you still got the energy to sit around pontificating about it.  Hoovering is the ultimate soreal art - now you see it, now you don't!

Ah. You fell into my trap

 I am a man. The name Peter gives it away (or am I being sexist?) asnd I cooked for my wife and then two kids every day for fourteen years so....

But you're right. I got bored of it after a while. But I still think cooking is intrinsically practical magic. Consciousness is pretty miraculous too, though it doesn't feel like it most the time - especially early in the morning
