I know pros can bang out 40-100 covers a night, maybe more. But what about the home cooks here? How many meals do you cook in a week?
And I mean actual cooking, not microwaving a frozen burrito or heating up a can of some shit.
For me it's probably 10-12 meals a week cooked at home. Lunch and dinner most days for two. Which means I cook pretty much everyday, twice a day most of the time.
How about you?
40-100 covers a night isn't even that many, I don't even work in that large of a restaurant and we still do over 200 on weekends.
Anyway... I cook most of the meals that I eat at home, although I usually just eat at work. Probably 6 meals a week, I mostly just cook so that my partner has something to eat in the morning before they go to work. I make large batches so I will eat some of the leftovers, but if I were alone I'd probably only cook about 2 meals a week and would just wait until I got to work to eat more often.
Depends on the weather. If the weather is nice, then I'm grilling or smoking three times a day. I've also got a propane burner for doing gumbos and fish fries. Otherwise, I'm probably going to eat out or do something simple like chili macaroni and eat the leftovers for 3-4 days.

Kill yourself, faggot.

If I worked in a kitchen I doubt I'd cook nearly as much at home. Hell, if I had a job that I couldn't do much of the time from home I wouldn't be able to cook as much as I do.

Way to live up to the cliche. Let me guess: you also drink soda, are overweight and don't like brown people very much, either.

Yes, as a matter of fact.
About one meal every day, I've been cooking rösti and legumes stew recently, they both cook slowly so it's a pleasure to do half of the job and then forget them on the stove.
7-10.
Breakfast is usually home made yogurt, fruit, bread, and peanut spread.
Mid-meal is cooked.
Evening is a big fucking salad, with bread and cheese.
Though it varies...
Chef here. I do 6 days a week, and only properly cook on my day off. Rest of the time it's frozen/dried shit. Just can't be arsed after a 10 hour shift.

+14 meals a week. I'm a homemaker so I cook just about every day. But lunch is often leftovers, so I'm not cooking 3 meals a day every day. Often I will make something large (like pot roast or soup) and eat it for lunch all week.
>How many meals do you cook in a week?
Depends on how you quantify it.
I cook maybe four or five meals in a given week and eat leftovers for a week or two thereafter, but I usually eat two meals I've cooked myself completely from scratch a day, even if I didn't necessarily cook it that day. And breakfast is usually /mostly/ from scratch because I eat bread with jam or a pastry or cake or something. Other than the jam and butter/cream cheese, it's from scratch (though I do occasionally make jams as well).
This weekend, for example, I only cooked once, baking a banana cake Christmas day, but not a day passed where I didn't eat some leftover I made.

At the restaurant I prepare about 30 cold sandwiches and cook about 20 hot ones per day.
Back home, the odds of me cooking, when living alone, are about one in three for dinner.
I am currently helping to take care of my grandma and grandpa. So I cook about one night in ten.

How has it effected your cooking? When my boys were fussy little shits they fucked up my cooking for about a decade. My sister, who used to be a good cook ended up having her cooking go to shit by having three very fussy kids she had to feed, so it became more of a chore for her than a pleasure, because she can't make anything interesting for them.
