Being a bad cook nowadays looks bad on a girls resume, lol. Especially with the internet and sites like Allrecipes.com. A lot of women work to help with bills in today's world, it's no big deal to help her in the kitchen. Women work hard around the house and appreciate the help. Beside, it's fun to help her and cook.
Actually, being a good cook (male or female) looks good on a resume.
With so many people not really cooking anymore, the ones that actually do and are good at it are special indeed.
I first taught myself to cook by baking a cake.
Then I made a mexican casarole.
With success, I realized I could cook if I wanted to.
Like anything, if we desire to do it, we can make it happen.
