Cohousing-L Mailing List: Can men cook? Do they?

[Rob Sandelin (robsan]

I got embroiled in a discussion about the cooking abilities and 
attitudes towards cooking of men in cohousing.  It seems in most of 
American society men are, uh, Culinarily Challenged.  That is men cook 
much less than women, and cook fewer things, and with less complexity.

I was forced to admit that as a general rule, the men at Sharingwood, 
while cooking the same amount of time, do in fact cook less elaborate 
meals.  Us menfolk stick to tacos, pasta, and stir fry (with the 
exception of Bill who takes all sorts of interesting culinary projects.).

Do other groups have gender culinary parity or are men cooking impaired 
everywhere?
