Do any young women cook anymore?

I'm 24, fairly traditional background. My Mom handled most of the cooking duties which probably could be said for most in my demographic. I'm not one to think it's a woman's job to cook, but I'm just shocked at how few actually can. I'm talking complete cooking incompetence. In my last two relationships hot pockets would have been a challenge to what were otherwise intelligent women. You would think some degree of competency would be important for survival. It is after all, eating.

You need to find one whose mom (and possibly dad or grandparent) showed her the ropes. My wife can pretty much make anything. As she likes to tell me, "if you can read, you can cook".

Very few people cook these days.  Take a look around.  Why do you think there is a restaurant of some sort on every street corner.  If I were your age I would be taking some cooking lessons.  Chicks dig guys who can cook.  :thumbsup:

Absolutely on this. They way I look at it, if you can read - you can cook.

I cook like a crazy person, and usually love doing it so long as it's on my terms. But when I have to do it all the time because my significant other doesn't know how to. Well it's frustrating. Sometimes you wan’t to be cooked a meal you know?

 

Just to be clear it's not just her, I see it with former friends and other people I've dated. I really can’t think of more then two or three women I’ve met that actually know how to cook.

Funny thing is her Mom's a great cook. The type that practically force feeds you, real old school. I think in my girls case she might have gotten it so overdone she never felt the need to learn. But still this shouldn't change the rest of the young women in this country.

Or as meazza says:  "if they can read, they can breed."
