Well i have this thinking that since i am a girl it is important for us to cook food or to learn how to cook so if any woman will get married atleast they will know how to cook for there husband or children. DO you think it is our responsible to cook food?

Personally, I think it is an important skill to have. I don't think it is necessarily the "wife's responsibility," because I believe the guy can and should help in the kitchen, too. I guess it just depends on the family. In my sister's family, her husband does the majority of the cooking. It's just whatever works best for you. I still think though that it is good to know how to cook, because you will end up making meals. :) Before I got married, I thought I was going to be a bad cook, but I practiced and now my husband loves my cooking! :) It's really not all that difficult to learn! :)

Of course you should know how to Cook, It really isnt that complicated, if not for taking care of your husband or kids but to save on money. Its amazing what meals you can whip up for 2-5 for under 5-10 dollars. If you went to a fast food place it would cost you more, and if you went to a dine in place it would be doubled plus the tip. Even if you don't have a family to cook for just for yourself you would still save money. I enjoy cooking, and especially trying out new recipes, I cook it the way the recipes calls the first time then I tweak it to the way I like it. Makes it alot more fun and enjoyable.

I think its good for both the man and woman to know how to cook. In my house, my boyfriend does most of the cooking. I can cook, I just choose not too. He loves to cook and he is very good at it. But the deal is, he cooks and I clean up after. But I think I am in the minority. I think in most houses the woman usually does the cooking.

yes women needs to know about cooking and it is her responsibility too to cook for their husband and kid . In my opinion when there is very few people in the world that time they(man and women ) distribute their work that home's related work will perform by women and earning and other outside work perform by man . women easily accept this distribution because that time cutting tree, killing anaimals still hard work for us . yes in mordern age we can do all the things what man do so man at present is so helpful and they also know the cooking . still we are following the distribution and its became tradition

Every man wishes his wife to be a good cook. Cooking is not womens sole reponsibility, but for every child, mums food is the best food on earth, as it is served with moms love. Atleat to retain this human tradition, the women must learn to cook tasty and healthy food.

In todays world, it is important for females and males to know how to cook. I do think it is my job to the cooking in my family. when I am sick, my husband cooks and I feel so guilty. I am a traditional gal.

yes you are right to certain extent.but i think husband and wife both are equally responsible to run family.if wife is working then its the duty of husband to help her in cooking and all other activities and if wife is housewife then she can devote more time towards her family.

coming from a cook and a resto. manager...i think both should cook...and learn to cook if need be..that way things stay even and ya never know when the man will cook a awsome meal for his woman.

There's this saying that goes.. the best way to man's heart is through his stomach. Well, this went true for my wife. It was "plus" on her part when we're still getting to know each other that she knows how to cook. I know how to cook too(though not really that good) that's why i consider it a good thing if we had a common interest. But i don't say that cooking for the family is the sole responsibility of the wife. Any chores for that matter can be shared by both the husband and wife especially at our present times. Yet, it's an advantage if the woman knows how to cook.

I think that it doesn't matter who you are..if you want to cook..then cook....if you don't want to cook, then don't. That's just the way I feel. I know some cultures are do think that it is a womans job. To me that is a thing of the past. Its just as much a mans responsibility. 50/50 here people, shared responsibilities, makes life alittle easier when you work together.
