Men in the kitchen

We have a very small kitchen so when I'm in the kitchen I usually like to be alone unless I ask for someone's help. On the other hand if my guy wants to do the cooking, then he is welcome to do so, too. If he needs my help that is fine, but I'd rather only one person at a time cooking on their own in the smaller kitchen.

I do most of the cooking for the family. But my husband learned to cook working in his family's French restaurant and I from my Mother who's family had an Italian restaurant. Baking is mainly my job unless I am doing something that is really involved and he offers his help right away. Then we can make dozens of cookies or take turns rolling dough, cutting them out or swapping trays in the oven. It works out great. He usually makes breakfast on Sundays for everyone. But, during the week we take turns some days. He is a good cook too and I gladly offer him the apron strings so to speak if he wants to create a new dish or prepare an old favorite. We have been doing this for years and having him around in the kitchen is a dream. We might be making something familiar and together come up with new ideas to change the flavor, look or create a new way of making it. He even cleans up and does dishes too, voluntarily I might add. But when it comes to putting away all the bowls, containers and gadgets I have to assist. There are some odd pieces that aren't used often by him so I put them back where they belong. He leaves them on the counter, clean to be put in their special little home in the kitchen. Yes, the more the merrier! Getting help or having dinner cooked by him is wonderful. I will always let him enter my kitchen which is our kitchen any time and any day! Happy Cooking!

my hubby is actually a better cook than i am and so i let cook when he has time.

I do most of the cooking during the working week anyway as I work from home. My wife works from an office. At weekends though, she will do most of the cooking as I think we may get in each other's way in the kitchen! _Derek

I would adore it! I just recently commented to my husband that I am so very tired of cooking all the time. Oh, I love to cook but it sure would be nice to have a meal prepared FOR me occasionally. See, he never takes me out to eat, either. Well, I shouldn't say never, we will go out to eat once a year, usually a month or so after our anniversary after I "nag" (his word) about him never taking me out on our anniversary. He's an a$$. He also does not cook. The best he can do is heat up frozen lasagna, which is his favorite food. Even that would be a welcome break for me occasionally but he doesn't do that very often, either, maybe once every two years, when he gets tired of my healthy meals and wants something bad for him. Normally, when he's tired of my healthy meals, he'll eat fast food on the way home from work and tell me he's not hungry. I'd love to share the kitchen with a man! Cooking together is actually my preferred choice because it's something personal that you can do together and even have a few laughs over occasionally. Good memories.

Its an ease for the women that her man is cooking food and womens will be definately proud of their man,mans on the other hand could get something new to learn and they can have a new experience.....................

I do all of the cooking at home since hubby's only talent in cooking is boiling water. I sometimes tease him to cook for me, which he would answer that he will just order pizza or something. I think it depends on the person, because both of my brothers love to cook. My dad was also able to cook real Chinese food. I know that my hubby can't cook so in our house, the kitchen is my domain while the TV is his.

Generally speaking, Kitchen is an unisex space in where i come from, not a woman domain. It is unlike 'Lady' loo where only women is allowed to enter and stay put to do her business. Sometime you just have to use the kitchen for cooking to fill your hunger no matter you are man or woman.

In our home, I was the owner ofthe kitchen. I usually do the cooking from breakfast to dinner except for pasta dishes. My wife does the pasta. I made lot of dishes some were learned when I started cooking while others with the help of recipes from the internet or other sources. Sometimes, my wife do the research, I will read and do it. There are also times I tried experimenting. Instead of the usual ingredients, I tried to use substitutes. Two of them were the sardines-squash siomai and hearty burger which I posted on my blog. chemist9861.blogspot.com

Men are great cooks. If you scan the tv shows for example you find just as many if not more men doing them. Also the best professional cooks are men. The idea that the kitchen is a woman's domain was only made because of the job market place.

I cook meals at home. So some times , for a change when my husband comes to kitchen to make some thing or to help me, i feel very nice. But its occasionally, otherwise he is too busy with his office to do all such things.

i certainly don't agree with the say that kitchen is a women domain because if it was so then all the chefs would have to be women not men. Then allowing men to do the kitchen work ??? at least not mine as when he enter the kitchen it would be like as if some wild wind has gone through mine kitchen.it will just be messy and lot more work for me..so for me no ways...

17 years together my hubby cooked me grilled cheese an tomato soup once when we first started dating....lol that was the extent of his cooking days...id love for him to pitch in every once in awhile...but then again i think hed just leave a mess everywere lol....

I love it very much. I usually go off work later than my husband, so he do the cooking. Then I am an assistant. This weekend I will tell him : Today I will be the chef.

Actually it's a karma point for a guy to work in the kitchen and do his chores there especially when their partner is doing some other chores and needed his help at the kitchen. The kitchen belongs to every family member, it doesn't have to be a woman's domain. Remember that she also needs help with the cooking while she is doing other chores like laundrying, sweeping the floor, etc. We women would feel better if we have a significant other who volunteers to help us in the kitchen and to remind us that we're more than just a cook.

I think women find it to be a real turn on when a man can cook for them and do other things around the house. It isn’t a problem for me because I like to cook, and I don’t mind cleaning when the time comes either. Maybe I will find a woman who will appreciate my skills around the house…

My ex and I used to take turns cooking. He is a very good cook. We would make a different take on something I would cook and it was fun. He could also cook some fancy dishes.

Hi Telmesh, it is an usual scenario in my home to see men in the kitchen. My father likes to prepare food for us when he was free. Where else, my husband will prepare food for us during the weekend. They likes to try new recipe and prepare food without any hesitation. I will only be in the kitchen when they are very busy and unable to cook. Can said in my home, men are free to walk around without much restriction. It is good to hear you also loves to cook and always helping out your wife. Have a nice day.

I do love this idea : Men in Kitchen. As we know that this phenomenon is very rare, so I will say that girl who has this man is very lucky.after married usually man will guess that kitchen is place for woman and man is only for out job like in office or something related with repairation

Good for you that both of you knows how to cook. In our relationship, my husband is he only one who knows how to cook. It may sound funny but its true. I love my husbands cooking. Sometimes I help him cook, its a form of bonding for both of us.
