The poll of 2,000 men and women commissioned by the Good Food channel found that the typical female can cook only seven dishes from scratch.

好食物頻道委託開展的這一調查涵蓋了2000名英國男性和女性。調查發現，如果從零開始，英國女性普遍只能做出七道菜。

More than one in five women struggles with a basic curry, one in six cannot bake a cake and one in ten has never cooked a roast.

超過五分之一的女性連最簡單的咖喱菜也不大會做，六分之一的女性不會烤蛋糕，十分之一的女性從來沒做過燒烤。

‘Many are resorting to quick fixes in the kitchen, rather than cooking from scratch.’

“許多英國女性都是在廚房裏弄些快餐來解決吃飯問題，而不是買生食物來煮。”
