Ways in which newly married couples engage in making family meals (foodwork) is discussed based on interviews carried out with 20 US couples shortly after survey recruitment and 1 yr later. Findings showed a link between meal decision-making, food shopping and cooking. Partners who cooked dinner were also involved in dinner decision-making and food shopping, while those who cooked infrequently were less likely to make meal choices and were usually not involved in shopping. A sole partner (equally divided between males and females) took primary responsibility for foodwork activities in just over half of the couples interviewed. Factors influencing foodwork discussions included partners' enjoyment of cooking, prior foodwork experiences, employment responsibilities, feedback about cooking and food preparation environment. Many aspects of foodwork appeared to be gender neutral, although barbecuing was a gendered, male activity.
