i only know little about cooking. i know how to fry eggs, boil eggs, make omelet, fry fish and meat, and some other simple dishes. i feel it is important for me to learn how to cook so that when i'll have a family of my own i can cook a good, healthy food for them. i do realize that there many women who do not know how to cook because they are carreer women. they do not stay at home and they leave the cooking to their househelpers. im sure though that men will want their wives to know how to cook. THE BEST WAY TO A MAN'S HEART IS THROUGH HIS STOMACH!

Yes, I think so that women should know how to cook. And even men should know how to do it too. I like how my grandma put it: "If you know how to eat, you should know how to cook."

I feel that it is important for both the man and the woman to know how to cook so they do not have to depend on each other all the time plus one person may cook better than the other. It is better in my opinion for both to learn how to cook as it is much healthier than eating out and less expensive as well.

Yeah this field has always been dominated by females..but now a days the mens are also getting acquainted with this field..I don't think that there is any compulsory fact that woman should know how to cook...but as I said it before this field have been a woman dominated one..so when some woman says that I don't know how to cook then it really heard wiered...as when you ask a man,do you know how to impress girls and he responses "no"...

the last line that u have written is definitely a meaningful one but now a days it's scope is limited to the married couples only.
this is coz the unmarried couples go out for dinner or lunch or whatever so girls don't get time to show their talent in the kitchen.
only the married women get this opportunity.
so as far as women are concerned they r born and bred in this way that they r cook and they can cook a lot of dishes unlike men who don't know how to cook.
so it is important for women to know how to cook.

I am not a good cook, sometimes I go to dinner at peoples places and I wish I could, certainly if you have a family it is important to cook, but I like just the bsics anyway for myself, but it still would be nice to be able to cook great meals.

thats true. it is a lot better if we know how to cook. it saves money and cooking the food ourselves give it that special touch.

I think at least she should know a little bit and enough to feed her kids when dad who cooks isn't home or something like that. Knowing enough is better than nothing at all.

i don't think it's a requirement as much as it used to be. since we have many restaurants and rarely eat at home. i dont know much about cooking either. i know about as much as you do. i can get to my man's stomach by taking him to his favorite restaurant and ordering his favorite food. we don't cook much. we both work different hours. i work nights and he works days. but since i quit we have more time together. we still dont cook much though.

I did not and have not had much of a chance to learn to cook before I got married as my mum did not like us to be in the kitchen. She is a perfectionist and prefers to do things her own way. After I got married, my mother-in-law was the one doing the cooking. It was only when my hubby got his overseas posting that I had to learn to cook for the famly. It was tough going but practice makes perfect. I'm still far from being a good cook but I think my cooking skills have improved over the years :) Oops ,back to your question... I think it's equally important for BOTH man and women to learn how to cook. I intend to teach both my son and daughter how to cook simple dishes.

I am definitely not the chef in the house. That title belongs to my husband. But I can cook a pretty good meal when I set my mind to it. It helps that my best friend is a darned good cook...she gets a lot of phone calls when it's my turn to cook dinner. I think it's important to at least be able to provide a decent meal when the main cook of the house isn't available (even if it's the simplest of meals).

men want their wives to cook for them and take care for them.. we feel we are really loved.. just like moms cooking foods for their kids..
it is an added sweetness in the gurls' part if they cook for their boys..
personally, i want my wife [if i have one] to prepare food for me, despite the busy schedule that she has..

hi!
You are certainly correct. "The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach". I proved it myself and live a happy marriage life for 12 years now.
Modern woman like us are intellectual, brave and adventurous our days are evolving fast phase but we should be aware of how cooking will be of importance to us with our married life ahead.
I learn to love cooking not because it is necessary for us to do it but because of the self satifiscation it can bring to us and the peace of mind it can bring when we knew that we are cooking healthy for the man you love and to our precious kids we cared for.
