Clam Dip Confidential — A tale of two Seattle-based online food communities
October 12-18, 2005
... Back in America’s glory days, when people sat on their front porches on summer evenings and threw garden parties and wore aprons while they cooked, recipes spread virally—or so the story goes. If the Joneses had the Smiths over for supper and served clam dip made with some ineffable spice, they’d surely be asked: “What’s the secret ingredient?” The Joneses, being neighborly, would fess up. Then, the following week, the Smiths would try to re-create the dip, adding and subtracting ingredients along the way. At their next dinner party, they could pass the modified dip off as their own—provided, of course, they hadn’t invited the Joneses. Whether or not you believe such sepia-toned tales of a kinder, friendlier, more communal way of cooking, there’s little doubt that the newest generation to step into the kitchen is very different from its predecessors. “This is a generation that essentially does not know how to cook,” says Jerry Gulley, editor in chief of Allrecipes.com ...

Chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese and corn dogs (don’t tell my kids they're the soy variety) appear quite frequently on the dinner table. And yes, when Jerome has to get to soccer by 6 p.m., Ronald McDonald does the cooking. I’m always on the lookout for quick and easy family-friendly recipes ...
