I'm a male in my 30's that loves to cook. I started cooking when I moved out of mom and dad's and joined the Navy. I found out cooking isn't that hard. It takes patience and attention to detail. You can cook better than any restaurant. So why waste money. It is nice to be able to cook for your wife before she gets home since I get home befor her. Holidays I do the whole thing. I'm not sure why women don't do it anymore it's not that tough. I love to smoke and grill. I cook all the fixings and bake desserts also. I would say people enjoy my smoked pulled pork,smoked or grilled chicken, and my desserts.
