When asked about who's in charge of cooking at home, most fingers would directly point at the women of the home. Being called the fragile sex, women are customarily answerable for overseeing the domestic work while men are liable for working outside to accommodate the requirements of the family. Indeed, even up until now even if men engage in carrying out the household chores, women are still allocated the cooking job. Why?

In the last decade with more number of women working, the divisions of household chores in numerous families have been taken up by both the gender in the family. But a man opting to cook food for the family is still a rare concept. They incline towards different tasks like dealing with children, cleaning even laundry but no cooking.

Women may be in control of cooking at home however it is very different when in regards to professional kitchen. They are numerous male gourmet chefs, indeed even more than women culinary chefs. Ask anyone in the streets to name best culinary specialists and the larger part would no doubt answer Sanjeev Kapoor, Vikas Khanna or Gordon Ramsay.

The fame of cooking shows and male superstar chefs have moved the men's viewpoint of food preparation from feminine obligation to a manly recreation activity. They motivate the men to cook as men began to understand that cooking can be a delightful activity and maybe even a hobby. In any case cooking has not yet been considered as a domestic activity for the men. The greater part of them appreciate cooking and they feel joy acquiring their cooking skills and serving their tasty creations to friends and family. For them it's an one day event and most don't even clean up after cooking. It is anything for them but not a day to day activity.

One of the contributing factors on why men do not associate with food preparation is how they are brought up as children. Despite the fact that parents, particularly moms, show insignificant cooking skills when they are kids but when they become teenagers, the teaching is only towards daughters and not sons. It is normal for the mothers to ask their daughters while allowing sons to sit in the living room staring at television or playing video games.

Urging men to cook at home is an incredible improvement in bringing the equality with regards to gender. Providing cooking chores to men is a decent beginning. Parents can begin by including their sons in teaching cooking as a skill like how they include their daughters. With respect to husbands, they can begin by supporting their wives in the kitchen on a daily basis.
