Cooking is a basic skill which everybody should know or have the basic idea about it, but our society has this mindset that cooking is part of women duty if women cook something it is looked like a normal thing for her but if men once in blue moon cook something it is considered as art or their inner talent should be awarded for that, but if women do something which is men’s duty than it would be not something she will not praise for, I agree that cooking is art but it is art for both male and female. If women cook delicious food it is called her habit, she also deserves the same appraisal from the family. When a woman cooks because it’s a requirement for family, but when men cook when he is free and has time for it. It would be a lot better when men know cooking, he should help her women daily in cooking. we should break this patriarchy; we always talk about equality then it should be in cooking also. We eat to satisfy our hunger it does not matter who cooks. For men who do not know cooking, they will never know what is that effort that goes into it. I know there are many best male chefs we can’t deny that food is very delicious cooked by them. Also, the women who love cooking do not get a chance to learn more about cooking because some class members think that women can only cook at home. If she goes cooking outside of her own house then she is not recognized as a chef but a maid, it also her art. Not all women enjoy cooking but it is mandatory to cook that’s why they cook, if a woman does not want to cook it’s her choice and everybody needs to accept her choice, People should change and look at cooking as art for everyone.
