From 'cooking wife' to 'cooking mother': Exploring generational shifts in perceptions regarding domestic cooking practices.

Aims: Utilising the life course perspective as the theoretical framework, we investigate how women from different generations perceive their cooking experiences and articulate their feelings regarding this activity.

Method: Following a review of the literature and four exploratory focus groups, an interview guide was developed and piloted. Interviews were conducted with 22 Brazilian women spanning three distinct generations.
