tell me is it in your country too

Here in the US that is a women choice if she wants to cook and be a house wife or not. Me can cook just as much as women can and me like being in the kitchen just a much as women. In my house my husband and I equally take turns making food for our family.

I think, in general, in most countries the women are the "cooks". I live in the United States and I have not been pushed into the kitchen, but now as a mother and wife, I am the food preparer and purchaser. It is just a natural instinct for a mother or wife to want to feed their families and make them healthy and full. So, I guess there are some countries who force it upon the women, and others it just comes naturally, besides the few exceptions. :)

In India also woman are pushed and expected to cook for all the family members.

Hello Sharmianton, In INDIA too the main work for women is to cook for the family and look after the kids.But the things are changing these days as now due money needs both husband and wife work so they share kitchen work so now the cooking work is not just a women work men also help her in it.Though the percentage of working women is less in INDIA so most of the women are restricted to kitchen and house works.

As a mother to my child and as a good wife to me it is her duty to cook food us and along with it I am my children help her to do her things easily. Here ,we do not force any one to cook food but it is a mothers duty to know that it here job to do it and I am happy to tell you that my wife cooks the food here in my home.

It depends on your family habit, if a couple all work outside, then they will cook together after work or cook in turn. If wife is a homemaker, most of the time, she will cook for all the family and also washing dishes included. before I have a child, I work in a company, so I often cook together with my husband, but after I stay at home for looking after baby, I cook all the time to let my husband relax after 1 busy day work.

This is too bad, pushing someone to do something they don't want. Here in our country we are free, we are not being pushed to do something and men are usually the cook here and few women.

In the past, as in a few decades ago, the women in my country were not expected to do anything else other than stay at home and look after the children and keep the house clean and tidy. This would also involve cooking for their husband when they returned home from work at the end of the day. Now though, things are changing, and not all that many women choose to stay at home anymore as they opt to have their own careers instead. I think that this is much better, as there is no reason that it should be the woman in the relationship who has to do everything like this.

here in the united states when you go into resturants most of the chefs you see are male and not female and im not sure why because at home most of the females like myself will be cooking dinner and getting things ready to eat for the family. I think its just normal but sometimes my boyfriend will cook stuff and so will my dad be cooking. I think its best to share hosue chores then to have one person do everything.

Bor many generations, kitchen work was for women in my country. But I must add that at that time the only bread winners were the men. So it was a fair share. Now more men are into cooking, but most women work outside their homes.

Most women are not pushed to learn to cook. But if you are decidind to get married and have a family it makes it much easier to learn to cook. My grandmother used whatever was available that her land made. She never went to the grocery store. Sometimes for essentials like salt, pepper, sugar,lard,items like that. But they butchered a hog and a cow and had food year round til the next season to do it again. Grandma had to spring houses so when she canned she put thecanning jars in there and in one the spring actually run through it. The other one was like a damp musty basement. I chose to learn on my own. I took every home ec course in cooking I could to learn proper ways of cooking. Then when I got married it just kind of fell in place and everything I had learned come to me and seemed to help me and from the basics I branched out trying new things out of recipes and such.

I know every country is different with different customs and cultures but some things are the same too like little puppy dog faces on men that say they are hungry and helpless. Guess who gets to cook?

hi friend shaarmianton, As i think it will be in more country not only in srilanka to push in to the kitchen, possible not for rich people that who afford the salary for cooker for them always, then they will free for ever.

Here in the Philippines, mostly women has to cook in the family. I think it is the woman's job to do in the kitchen.
