Since childhood, we have been told that a good girl should know how to cook. As if everything depends on it: happiness, relationships, even love. But if you look around, the best chefs in the world are almost always men. Does this mean that cooking is not a “woman’s duty” at all?

I have always believed that the kitchen is not about duty, but about pleasure. It is one thing when you are happy to create something delicious, try new recipes. And it is quite another when cooking turns into a routine, a duty, without which you cannot be called a “real woman”.

Yes, it is nice to surprise your loved one with a delicious dinner, but isn’t it just as nice when someone does it for you? After all, in the end, it is not who is standing at the stove that matters, but for whom this coziness is created, this aroma of freshly brewed coffee in the morning or a perfectly fried steak in the evening.

Maybe this is the real magic of cooking? Not in who cooks, but in the fact that food unites. ❤️
