They are deemed “the Oscars of the food world,” by Time magazine.

Is that why all the male chefs in the picture have beards?

I know some men that wouldn’t know how to boil and egg if they lost their wives, and I went out with a young woman who cooked me a meal.

She did fried chicken, french fries and a salad.

It all looked fine and tasty until I tried to cut the chicken.

It was still frozen inside.

A man that’s interested in cooking and just cooks for fun at the week-end might well prepare far more exotic things than his wife that perhaps cooks 2-3 time a day several days a week.

But reverse the roles and you might well be surprised at how she cooks for pleasure.

I think it might be worth looking at the words “cooks” and “chefs”.

Most married women or ones that live with men cook day in and day out and it must be nigh on impossible to maintain enthusiasm, especially when the kids would most likely rather go to McDonald’s or eat pizza etc.

Hubby cooks perhaps once a week, and probably at the week-end, and he enjoys doing something different.

A fair contest?

Methinks, “Not”.

When it comes to haute cuisine and top restaurants, then women never got a real chance until this decade, and if they were given a job at a top restaurant then they were probably vegetable chefs or something similar.

Will women soon prove that they are as good as men at haute cuisine?

We will see in another ten years or so; but they are catching up fast!
