I kept wondering if some women don't know how to cook. For who you are, either rich or poor. If you as a woman you don't know how to cook is a very bad thing. How will you be cooking for your husband , oh sorry you employ a cook or what will you do. But if you heard that your husband is sleeping with the cook, you better don't complain. If as a woman you really want to win the heart of a man, the best way is good cook. Tell me why you don't know how to cook. I as a man,I can cook 90percent of our foods here in Nigeria. Tell me what you are doing when your mum is in the kitchen or you want to tell me your mum don't know how to cook either. Please I need some answer why some women don't know how to cook.

I think I got answers . Many women don't know how to cook because of how there mother handle them when it comes to kitchen. Any time a mother is in their office (kitchen) I believe he should call her daughter's attention . Most mother's don't do that. I know of a lady ,she so lazy to the extent that she can't cook for herself and is the curse of her mother. I Noticed when the woman is cooking the daughter will be busy with phone or TV. One day I talk to the Daughter , how will you cope with a guy when you don't Know how to cook, she said they have to seek for a house help. I can never forget that statement. So laziness,I don't care attitude,no respect for men,parental implications are reason most ladies don't know how to cook.

HOW TO PREPARE A LOCAL DISH CALLED IKOKORE

The post here says some ladies can't cook, well it's  only  because they are not knowledgeable about the recipe they wish to cook. Even if you don't know how to boil water, you won't be able to boil water effectively. All I'm trying to say is that, knowledge is power, even when it comes to cooking. Once again and as usual, the master chef comes to the rescue. Ladies, I present to you the ikokore recipe starter pack.

Ikokore delicacy is rife in South-West Nigeria, especially amongst the Ijebu natives of the Yorubas. The food is too delicious not to be savored all around the world, provided you wish to taste it. Below are steps to getting your tongue bitten: 


STEP 1

Get the type of yam used for ikokore. It's a form of water yam popularly called isu ikokore. Get palm oil, pepper, salt, maggi, fish, meat, crayfish.

STEP 2

Cut into sizeable tubers and grind using a hand-size grinder - an "irin ikokore", this gives you a slippery form of the raw yam. (This process takes time more than the actual cooking itself, but it's always worth it) You may proceed to eat it like that, but it's not advisable. Lol.

STEP 3

Proceed to pour your ground yam into an already-boiling water. 35 minutes afterwards, pour all your ingredients and mix. Leave the pot uncovered, and take it off fire after about ten minutes. Eureka!!! Ikokore is ready.


In just three steps, the master chef has been able to give a succinct description of preparing Ikokore. Now get to the yam market near you, get ingredients, cook and drop your testimonies.

Well first of all let’s get this straight a woman’s office is not the kitchen, I didn’t marry my wife because I want her to cook for me, I married her because I love her and I see as a partner in fulfilling destiny, i still maintain it is not the duty for a woman to cook, in the house anybody can cook, am I saying you should hire a house help? No not at all, if your wife can’t cook what is the point in teaching her if you as a guy knows how to cook better than her, will the ground open up and swallow you if you do that no, it’s here in this part of the world that we complain about everything if you married that woman because you want her to cook for you go to the restaurants and pick any chef there and marry, and if you have a woman that cooks for you appreciate her it is not easy, she goes to the market and still cook omg inhaling all those smoke and stuffs that comes with cooking of soup stew and all those delicacies, remember she’s your wife, understand that, and if you overwork her she will get old rapidly older than her age suggests, if your child wants to learn how to cook the mom can teach her same way the dad can teach her, she could also enroll for all this catering or food and nuts class how they improve you to become a better cook but wat I don’t like is calling the kitchen the woman’s or wives office, I don’t buy the idea!!!

@kenny11973: Half way into the teen age I experienced this in my family because my dad believes a child should concentrate so much on excelling academically and it's expected of the mother to keep up with every other household chore. Oh my! 


Thanks to my mum for not responding completely to my father's plan on not doing any other thing aside going to school and reading so much to make good grades or else I'd be a spoilt brat now and at this age I'd be the one to bear the brunt from my inability to cook. I feel so much that parental or environmental interference shouldn't be the base for individuals decision, like the adage that says "you can make a decision for a toddler but when he is of age, he will refuse all of the decisions you made and make new decisions". I did that when I became a teenager by deciding to learn how to cook even if I had to sneak into the kitchen when my dad gets carried away with other activities and I am grateful to God that that teenage decision had birthed a good cook.

@piwizo: I agree with you so much that it's not the sole responsibility of a woman to cook but it's quite unfortunate that various cultures have made it so because it's largely accepted that a woman with good kitchen skills can hold the home together and make her husband long to be at home at the moment close of the days jobs. To an extent that's true but it's important to note that cooking shouldn't be restricted to the female gender and thankfully, the male gender is scaling heights in the professional sphere of cooking as it's no more news that the best chefs belong to the belong to the male gender. Thus, in a family cooking shouldn't b hung upon the wife as the husband should willingly take up kitchen roles sometimes so as to add spice to the feeding pattern of such family. Smiles......that way the family will be a better place as the wife and children will excitedly look forward to eating dad's meal again.

We can't put all blame on the woman she has turned out to be , it started from her up bringing her parents or guardian. Many people are product of how they were raised in their homes, the mother has a role of raising both male and female children properly as well as teaching them to cook several meals, it will help them save money when they find themselves alone. It also goes down to the father, it will surprise you to know that some fathers are the reasons why their daughters don't know how to cook, Yes! They will be like she is too young to be with you in the kitchen, she has to preapare for that exam and all those excuses, when the child is then grown she would be difficult to tame, she would begin to give excuses like "I'm not used to it" I believe we are all responsible to teach her to cook, from the family, to the community, to the religious organization and to her school.

It is so saddening to hear from the mouth of anybody  that a woman can't cook. The fault can be either from the mother or the girl. 

We have heard how a man marries and after some days (if not before) we start hearing he told his wife to prepare rice and stew and she reportedly told him she cannot prepare stew talk more of parboiling rice. 

I will advise parents especially mothers to train their daughters from small to start as soon as possible teach her children mostly the girl child how to cook. It's not early for you as a mother to tell your daughter who is 10 years old to peel yam that the whole family will eat. Yes it starts from peeling of yam, then you'll instruct her to cook the yam  alongside with stew that the family would eat. You will notice that the girl will always have interest to cook. 

As a mother too you can't be cooking and your daughter is crossing her legs in the living room watching television or chatting. When you are in the kitchen, call her and also engage her in helping you to do somethings in the kitchen like cutting onions, seasoning the food, etc always be ready to guide her. 

As a lady if you can't cook I don't know what you are looking for in marriage. If you cannot cook don't be surprised when your husband start going out with women outside that can cook well. That is where Infidelity start.

... Because there is no law that says all women should know how to cook. If your wife can't cook but she's good in making money, you can take up the job of cooking or teaching her how to do the cooking. All women can't know how to cook, that is what makes the world balanced. The same way some men don't know how to repair little electric stuffs. Some men can't fix bulb before they met their wife, you either learn or leave it to someone else to do the job. Women are not destined to be cooks, I wish men would understand that. If all women can cook, the word "the way to a man's heart....", won't be useful anymore. To balance this life that is while we have some ladies who can't cook.

Re: some women don't know how to cook. by: MissDairo(f) .:. Sat, 25 Jul, 2020 - 09:36:17:pm GMT

Let me start this by saying cooking is a life skill and not gender based.

The issue of who is to cook in a marriage is left for the couple to decide.
That your requirement for getting married to a lady is that she should be able to cook doesn't mean that's the same condition other me placed.

And saying they shouldn't complain when their husband cheat is very funny.
So a man cheats on his wife because she can not cook. Read that sentence again, it sounds stupid.

A man cheats because he wants to cheat and not because of any unreasonable reason he might want to give.

There are men who love their wife cooking for them.
There are men who would rather employ the services of a cook.
There are men who would cook for themselves.

It would have been better if you had said, learn how to cook because it is a life skill and not so that your husband will not cheat.

And mind your every man has a way to his heart. Food isn't the way to all men's heart.

This is 21st century, let's run off some mentality.

You cannot blame some ladies for not knowing how to cook. In some homes , they have domestic workers that  takes care all domestic chores including cooking. Some mothers would rather do the cooking themselves than asking their daughters to join them . You cannot expect ladies that comes from such homes to know how to cook.

I don't believe that men cheat because their wives are not able to prepare good meals for them.i believe that even if a woman is the greatest cook in the world ,if her husband wants to cheat, he will definitely cheat. In a relationship where there is mutual understanding , the husband can even do the cooking and patiently teach his wife because gone are those days when people believe that a woman's place is in the kitchen.

Learning to cook is a matter of interest. If a lady is interested, she can learn it at any stage of her life even if she is married.

Hmmm! Chai! If a lady does not know how to cook, it is error of the highest order. Wait ooo, how will you cope with it when you get married. Oh! You will employ an housemaid to cook for you and your husband, and housemaid will be cooking vegetables for your husband with pounded yam that is not too hard or too soft, in a couple of time, your husband is running after the housemaid and by then you will become the first wife and the housemaid will be the second wife. Let’s be sincere with ourselves, one of the ways to get into a man’s heart is to give him a very delicious meal, now if has a woman you don’t know how to cook, God will now help you, your husband that ought to help you because you are already married too did not know how to cook; what will you do, I guess you would be going to eatery to get food or probably employ a maid as have said before. 
As a lady, it is very important you know how to cook, even if your mother is not given you chance, explain yourself to her and let her see reasons why you need to do so rather than you using the opportunity to do some unnecessary things. You see, put the fact that your parent are rich and wealthy that alone will buy you a husband but can’t keep the husband for you. Learn to cook various meals if not across all culture but at least learn to cook the one that pertain to your own culture. Not just cooking it anyhow but cooking it well.
 A lesson from the Bible to tell you that when you feed a man well, you can easily get what you want. Esther 5; 6 and 7 gave us a clear view of how Esther was able to get a difficult request from the king all because she was able to serve rightly. You can read it to get a better light to it.

It is really disheartening that our generation is full of ladies who have been enticed and wooed off by social pleasures and carefree life that they forget the role of responsibility in their life's. Part of the roles and functions of a woman is her ability to be vast in the preparation of home dishes. This is a skill that all women ought to acquire.


But due to the new development and ease in life activities, some ladies prefer things to be done the easy way even down to cooking. I believe the root cause of women not knowing how to cook actually begins from their homes. That is where basic training begins. If as a woman you are not active in your family kitchen, when you get married you will face difficulties in that section too and possibly with your husband as well cause most men love home made meals.

Women should understand that, it is not just about the present moment or the convenience or whatever. One day you will have children of your own and it is what has been deposited inside you that you will impact into them. If as a mother, you can't cook and you are relying on housemaids, your children will grow up thinking that that is the proper way of life and will imbibe that culture as well.

If you check in some homes, the root cause of certain divorce cases is as a result of the woman not knowing how to cook and the house girl who officially becomes the house cook now become the center of attraction to the man. And as it is said the way to a mans heart is trough his belly. Just this singular lack of cooking skills can cause a whole lot of havoc, most especially for the women.

Men love women who are skilled cooks. Why do you think that after a man has reached some level of accomplishments, will now return back to the village and pick a wife for himself? It is because of this same factor, he needs someone who has the basic skills of the kitchen to take care of him. It may have its shortcomings tho, maybe the woman might be local but at least the man gets what he wants. So you that claim to be tush and all coded without knowing how to cook becomes neglected.

Knowledge is power, it you have it you are in control.

The fact that a woman doesn't know how to cook doesn't make a bad person neither does it mean she has a bad upbringing..
When she gets married the major thing there is she can sort that out with her husband.
Once he's ok with it, then they are good to go.

That is unfair every woman should know how to cook food because one day you will get married to someone who will be your husband.

It usually happens and it's not funny been a woman and you don't know how to cook .

There are some children there parents did not trained them properly , I have seen a girl of twenty four years old who did not know how to cook and that is very bad idea.

For those ladies who can't cook, its either they have what you call mageirocophobia or they didn't learn how to do it.

If a grown lady wasn't trained to cook by her mother, she can always learn from friends or other distant relatives.

If your family doesn't train you to do certain necessary things, you can always train yourself.
We can never fully learn everything about life only through our parents.

Learning can be done outside the home.

Some ladies who didn't know to cook, enrolled in catering school.
