Of course, you can save a lot of baking and cooking time by ordering the food for the festive table, according to most of the respondents, they still bake and cook at home because it is cheaper than buying ready-made dishes, but according to two-thirds of the respondents, it still costs more then the feast like last year. Cooking food at home is also important for those who struggle with food sensitivities or diabetes, even though there are already alternatives for them, but they still feel that if they prepare the meals themselves, they can be sure of the composition of the food. In addition, meals and cakes made with special ingredients or for sensitive people are significantly more expensive.
