No as I never paid enough attention during home economics at school 
Wasn't that cooking? 
Just googled it and it's described as:
'Home economics' is a field of formal study including such topics as consumer education, institutional management, interior design, home furnishing, cleaning, handicrafts,
sewing, clothing and textiles, commercial cooking, cooking, nutrition, food preservation, hygiene, child development,
managing money, and family relationships.
