Who says millennials don’t cook? Maybe you’ve heard that we don’t but the truth is, most millennials wants to cook more than they do but sometimes there are reasons they can’t or that it’s just not practical to do so. Sometimes time gets in the way and sometimes it’s living conditions that make it more difficult to cook regularly. This is why more millennials are seeking creative ways to cook. Technology that is available today also means it’s easier than ever before to get information, including recipes.
An article in Think with Google talks about this very topic:
“We see through secondary research that millennials are cooking more,” says Anna Conroy, planning director for mcgarrybowen. “It isn’t a chore as much as an ability to create an experience.”
They also give us a fun and useful statistic: 59% of 25- to 34-year-olds head to the kitchen with either their smartphones or tablets.
