very few women teach their sons how to cook, do you?

I have two sons and no girls. Therefore when they was little I had made my mind up that I was going to teach how to cook. As they got older I did just that. When they got wives they was ever so thankful that they knew how to cook certain things. The boys have thanked me many times for teaching them how to cook. So I believe that there is nothing in the rule book that says that a boy should not be taught how to cook.

Yes, very few women in my country teach their sons to cook. My mother has never taught my brother or me and my sister to cook. We have learned all as our own once the marriage is decided. My brother is intersted in cooking and he even tried a few things like making omlet, coffe, etc. when my mom was not available. My husband is a very good cook. I am sure that I am going to teach my sons to cook. :-)

If my sons want to learn to cook something they are more than welcome to ask me and I will teach them, or if they come down and I am fixing diinner or baking something and they want to help they are more than welcome to and I will teach them. My youngest son who is 5 loves to help me cook. If he can't help he loves to watch. But I always find something for him to do. He also likes to watch cooking shows with me, so he has a real interest in cooking at a young age, weather or not he will keep that enthusiasm as he gets older is yet to be seen, but for now I will teach him as much as is safe for his 5 year old self.

I agree with you that basic skills start at home. I know how to cook after watching my mother cook. She didn't teach me step by step but I learned it by my self by watching her all the time. Normally mothers teach their daughter how to cook.

Hi manong, yes I do teach my son some basics but not too much yet as he's ten. I don't want him doing things like going in the oven yet but he can do some basic things. Also I often get him to help out when I'm baking and he has certain tasks to do such as the food mixer and the grating. I think it is important that men are brought up to be able to look after themselves.

i've taught my son to cook,his chocolate cakes are nicer than mine,and he knows how to do tuna fish and rice and red thai curry(from scratch,not packet mix),he's 14,i started teaching him when he was 13

Hey really interesting question. I don't about others.. but yeah my mom has taught me how to cook.. may be because I was going out for study. but really I am thankful to her that right now I know atleast basic cooking..

Yes, women will teach the art of cooking only for their daughters. But the best chefs and cooks are males only. Every girls mouth will water when they think of the tastiest dishes prepared by male cooks at hotels.

It would be interesting to have my son cook for me in the future and to know that he learned it from me. My son is almost 4 and he seems to be showing some signs of interest. He wants to try and stir the food I cook sometimes though I am scared to let him because he might get hurt, scalded or worse, burnt. Maybe when he gets bigger and he is still seem to be interested, I might teach him the basics. :)

My mom taught me and my siblings 3 brothers how to cook at an early age. My mom said never to depend on someone else especially if you're alone. And what if your wife or your daughter is sick and no one to cook and look after her, then it should be your duty to cook and everything, she would say to the boys. And she taught them too household chores. I never had problems with my brothers when it comes to housechores, we have our own time to wash dishes, cook, etc. Even my dad cooks. If you know how to eat you must know how to cook even if only cooking boiled eggs LOL

hello manong05, yeah most women only teach their daughter the art of cook, I guess. My mother taugh us how to cook when I was a little child, but she didn't force us to, it was me who asked my mother how to cook, and then she taught me, My brother never ask her how to cook. But my brother know how to cook by just watching my mother cook, and though he didn't learn from my mother about cooking, he did better than me. Whenever there's chance that we get together, I would always like to taste good food that made by my brother.

hi manong, i am happy because my mother teaches my brothers and also me on how to cook, and i am so proud also because my brother is very willing to learn on how to cook all of them.. and yes he really does the right cooking and note they are also very delicious, surely his future wife is very lucky for having my brother to be his husband..

Hi Manong.. My mom is the strict and disciplinarian-type of mother. I can still remember when my other siblings and myself used to have individual nanny to take care of us and cook our food (when we were still 5 yr old kids). When we reached the age of 8, all our nanny were sent home and we were left all by ourselves to take care some of the things our nanny do for us. One of it is cooking our food. I can still remember my mom taught me how to cook rice at age 7. It is very simple to do by just preparing the rice, the cooker, and plug it in the outlet. So simple. Until then I was the one tasked to do it. At an early age of 8, i was able to fry some hotdogs and frozen meat products. I was taught to watch out for spouting cooking oil from the pan. I had my ups and downs in cooking which gave me a lot of experience. Because happened to love the kitchen, I was able to experiment cooking on some viands and food through the guidance of my mother. It is a great lesson given to me and until now I still cook for my family.
