How it Began

cleaning up after them. Another 7 hours each went
to cleaning and doing laundry. When child care
was added in, women had little time left for
leisure.

"I came home one day to find him about to bake
cookies, and I said, 'What the heck do you think
you're doing?! I bake the cookies in this
house!'" she says. "In spite of the fact that I
run a great business and love what I do, I don't
get enough mom stuff in my life."

It's "wonderful" her husband now has dinner on
the table every night, but she says the pressure
of having the only paycheque means she doesn't
have the option to scale back work and focus on
the things closest to her heart.

• Sales of home meal replacements at supermarkets
  soared in the 1990s.
•  
• Another growth area has been home delivery of
  restaurant food, which has moved far beyond
  pizza.
• In 1998, 47 percent of the food dollar was spent
  on food away from home, compared with only 30
  percent in 1965
• The days of Julia Childs 12-hour pot roasts and
  intricate soufflés have in large part vanished,
  at least on television. More popular cooking
  shows today include Rachael Rays 30-Minute Meals
  and Giada De Laurentiis Everyday Italian, both
  of which emphasize timely preparation for a busy
  individual.
