Will your husband help you with cooking?

Well, he is the one who cooked for me. He is indeed a good chef though it is not his profession. His dishes are my weakness and I love all his foods.

It's good that my husband knows how to cook and even wash the clothes on weekends. He said that I've been cooking 3 meals on weekdays and he wants to help me by cooking at least a meal on weekend, and mind you, he's a good cook! His helping me in the kitchen on weekends is also a bonding moment for us as husband and wife.

You are indeed so lucky Dalia that you husband is a good cook…but if I remember correctly, he’s not Indian, is he? I think it’s a typical mindset in patriarchal societies that cooking and household chores are effeminate. Few Indian mothers would actually allow their sons to help them out in the kitchen…even today! Agreed that nowadays even girls are not expected to cook and clean but no mother would actually teach her son how to help out in the house… we feel that by doing household work and cooking, boys grow up to be more like girls than proper men! My husband or rather my mother-in-law is no exception and the way she brought up her son…you can well understand how much help I get.

Hi, its true that our previous generation had the concept that kitchen is meant only for the women of the household and men shouldn't have anything to do with it..But my Papa helps my Ma out with the cooking else she would get late for her school and also Papa will have to eat burnt food before leaving for the job early in the morning..Though our maid prepares everything from peeling to cutting all of us prefer to have food cooked by my Ma as she is an awesome cook! Whenever I cook then its a family theater going on in the kitchen with both papa and granddad roaming around inc case I get burnt or cut!!

Eah, Sometimes He help me .... Well, When I cook I am looking at Recipes Books, I find It on The Internet or just in Some Books... Here is a resource to download Free E-Books : http://www.cooking-recipe-books.blogspot.com/

I'm a husband and proud to tell you guys that I cooked every now and then. Actually me and my wife are interchanging this task more often. Each of us has its own specialty meals to prepare. My wife loves to cooked vegetables while mine was on meats. She loves to do sweets and desserts while I love to prepare the drinks. And most of the time we help each other in cooking. I'm not an excellent cook, but I'm proud to say that my kids are growing well with our cooking.

Yes my husband knows how to cook food as well. He helps me and sometimes do the cooking when I am not yet home from work. He has especialty food too. He is so good in cooking pancit. I agree with you, before it is always the girl who cooks. They are oblige like cooking is for girls only-- not manly. Now a day when a man knows how to cook it is an added points.

Hi Daliaj! It's good to hear that your husband is a good cook! My husband is not really that good in cooking but he is trying his best. He knows how to cook and he does not mind helping me in the kitchen.

My husband volunteers to cook dinner for us maybe once or twice a week. But usually in the morning when he's not very tired in the previous day and is able to wake up early, he cooks for us too. I like the idea that he helps in the kitchen. Sometimes I can even say that he's cooking is better than mine. I am also very glad to have my husband help me in the kitchen and also in some household chores.

My husband helps with the cooking if you can call it help. When I cook I clean up the kitchen as I go when he cooks the entire kitchen needs to be scrubbed down and all of the dishes are left. So while it is a help on one hand on the other it is not. In terms of my parents, my dad was traditionally the grill and breakfast specialist, while my mom prepared the rest of the meals. Until a few years ago when my father took over the cooking, thank goodness my mother is cooking again, because he never used seasoning and everything was dried out.

My husband actually doesn't help me with the cooking but I'm alright with that. We made a deal when we got married. I cook, he does laundry. We share cleaning. I enjoy cooking so I'm okay with that and he does a great job with the laundry. So far it's worked for the past 8 years.

Sometimes. Most of the time, he help me prepare the material, then I cook.

Yeah its true.I am newly married.I don't know much of cooking but am trying out new recipes with the help of the net. My husband is working here in Aussie for the past two years.He is not a expert in cooking but knows the knowledge of cooking and will do some dishes really awful. He is an expert in making dough for chapathi's. Not only in kitchen he helps me out in all the house hold activities in his leisure time and a NOTE am not working anywhere. I am a house wife. It's a real fact that this generation have changed a lot.Neither in my mom's place nor in my in-laws place I have not seen this in practice. It is an unwritten fact that the ladies should take care of the household activities.

I read so many discussion boards concerning what our husbands will and will not do around the house. As you can imagine there are plenty of opinions on either end of the spectrum. I think that with society roles changing so much throughout the last decade many more men are being found in the kitchen cooking up something delicious! I must say I am blessed to have a husband that not only cooks but rather enjoys it! Sometimes he is a bit over zealous with his experiments but overall he is a fantastic cook and my added pounds over our last few years of marriage are a testimony to that! LOL

To me, this is a funny concept - because my husband does the majority of the cooking. We do a lot of cooking together, too. He also cleans. Basically, he could run the household by himself except for the fact that he doesn't do bathrooms.

All the time. If I am having a busy day or sick or just plain too tired or just don't feel like cooking he will cook for us and I have to say to him every time he does it I have to tell him I LOVE YOU MORE!!! It is so great!! And he is a very good cook!! Yummy!! And I am glad your husband helps you too! Isn't it great?

Hi daliaj.... My husband seldom helps me with cooking since he is a CHEF..hehehehehe...but he's my maintaince guy at home plus he can sew! Well i am hopeless at sewing lol...BUT when he's cooking, normally for our kids (upon request from them!)..then i will do the cleaning.. His cooking is better than me but he's lazy doing any cleaning after cooking since he said he has a cleaning boy at his kichen at the hotel...NO Wonder he's lazy about cleaning!!!!!

I am male and yes i am sure that after marriage i will help my wife for sure in every work whether it is in cooking or in washing clothes. I consider man and woman both equal so all work should be also done equally why only female to cook while man will also eat. Both have the same hands and same legs so why this difference in kitchen. Even if i will be working in office and my wife will prefer to stay at home still i will try to help her is home works. Happy mylotting...

i am a husband, and i love my wife helping me doing it. at times, however, if don't want her messing up. well, i hope that relates... from the other side, of course.

actually, men are better cooks than women. that's why you like a restaurants food more than moms home made dishes. my girlfriend doesnt know cooking. i cook...she knows a little only. she will sit idle for hours but will not hold a cookbook :D
