i find that most of my felale friends don't know how to cook. but most of my male friends are good at it.so do my boyfriend and me. i never learn how to cook under the guidance of my mother, and my boyfriend know how to cook delicious food. i often make fun of him for this, i often tell him, i'll never learn that skills,so he'll have no other choice but take the part of cool.that must will be fun
do you konw how to cook, do you like it? do you insit that the female should take the part of cool

My husband and I know how to cook. and my son and daughter are eager to learn. I love to cook when I have the time. I prefer to bake. I have a sweet tooth so naturally I prefer to bake. I think its good for both the male and female to know how to cook. But its true I have heard about alot of women not knowing how. You would think it would be the other way around. But you never know with the way society is always changing.

I am a damned good cook. I see the problem with people not knowing how to cook and do quite a bit of things the real world requires is the move away from Home-Ec classes in high school. We can some how see the value of teaching kids how to program a computer using techniques that will be out of date before they graduate, or theories in quantum mechanics, but we can't see the value in teaching them to make a meal from scratch, dress professionally, sew a button back on, speak properly for a job interview, or balance their checkbook or how not to get into massive debt. We have lost touch with the important things in life, in pursuit of vane dreams of beating the kids in other countries for math and science.
What no one wants to hear that India or Japan's kids can out do ours in calculus so we teach our calculus at the expense of other things. What know one says is other countries are only testing their best and brightest

I love to cook and most people tell me I'm a good cook. I'm female, so I don't think it makes any difference if you're a guy or a girl, as long as you enjoy cooking. My mother is a very good cook also, and I guess I learned a lot from her, as well as from my ex-husband, who is also a good cook. But all the women in my family can cook well.

I love cooking. At first I really do not know how to cook but when I got married I learned so my family will enjoy eating. At first I followed a recipe to the T then later as I have learned and modify them to suite my taste.I also observe and look at others who cook well. My husband is a natural chef as well . Now I am enjoying cooking and have trying new recipes since then. Try it then you will enjoy cooking.

I love cooking so much that I do it whenever I have the chance. It's second nature to me. My family and friends love the way I cook and that makes the effort worthwhile. The secret for me is to have a collection of cookbooks and food references. That way I get to learn the secrets of the trade.

I enjoy cooking. It is almost like a way for me to relax. When I get home from a long day at work I like to get into my pajama's bring my parter a drink, and head to the kitchen to make dinner. I like that for that hour I can relax, and make something that is going to taste great. The only thing that I dont like about cooking is having to clean up afterwards.

People all have different gifts. You may not be good at cooking, but perhaps you are good at something else:) I am very interested in cooking. Actually I have a wide range of interests. Seeing my family and friends enjoy my food really make me proud of myself.

I love cooking and it is one of my hobbies...I love to bake,too!
However, I do not believe what most people believe in that females should always do the cooking because, not all of us likes it...I believe that gender shouldn't be an issue in any of the chores in the house.
