my mother hates when i walk in the kitchen , cause it somehow makes her uncomfortable, she didnt learn from her mum , she learns by herself , and she is a perfect cook. i can cook , and i learn my self, all that matters is the interest , and some trials and errors ) cooking is fun , n seeing people enjoy ur cooking is even more fun

Hahahahah… it’s prohibited to cook in my hostel. But my friends and I did a quick survey.

All my friends cook (Sabahans, Sarawakians, Semenanjung Chinese).
Even the boys cook.

We didn’t. We had one thing in common, we were too law-abiding. Orrr….. we were Indian girls?

Ceh…. hahahaha.. no lar.. we could survive though. Cause today, cooking skills are a necessity. I mean, I don’t want our country to end up like the USA where parents who don’t cook end up feeding their kids junk until they have a 30 year lifespan. Healthy FOOD! That’s the secret to a healthy Nation! hahahhaa.. and it’s not that hard lar, got so many instant instant powders nowadays.

Who are you? Shakespeare’s girlfriend?

Durai, I like how you honestly admitted that you could not quite understand what Dani Filth wrote. Most of us would have just acted smart!

Personally, I never learnt how to cook or stepped foot in the kitchen ( because grandmother and mother usually handled the kitchen department ) until I was 21. I didn’t start cooking because of anyone, I just grew the interest myself. And now, 2 years later, I am not too bad of a cook. But the usual drinks all I knew how to make since I was in primary school, I guess. And HEY, don’t bully your sister la, make your own cup of tea.

I tought u goin to cook… emarthuthein pa..
oni a cup of tea, nuh.. sure u can get it whn ur here..
even i will cook lunch for u.. try panne redi ya..

As long as you can feed your children with healthy food it is not necessary for you to know how to cook unless you want to learn how to cook because of interest or to impress your in laws or husband. These days women do a lot of things such as bringing back income other than cooking contrary to 1,000 years back where cooking is a major part in their life as they are not allowed to do anything else..now who wants tea?

Some of the best cooks in the worlds are males. And that is no coincidence.

Sorry Durai but i kind of agree with “Moog” and “the truth”. I can’t cook indian food well but i can bake fantastic cakes and cookies. Of course that wont feed my kids, but if i can earn well probaby i can get a chef to cook for me. After all it is not like i cant taste the food.
I know u would say that is not targeted to me,but if u want to preserve the culture, i would point out the method Nithz said. To start from the family teaching Indian cultural values to children, not just for girls how to cook but for all children how to respect themselves and others. And also not discriminate gender when teaching how to cook or learning the art of Silambam, the age of gender roles differentiation is fading.
Of course if a girl is unable to even make a cup of tea is humiliating, but it should not be because she is a girl but because she cant make tea, any race in that matter.(If a guy cant make a cup of tea, it is shameful too.)
Again, i’m not saying u are wrong Durai, just that cooking should not be pinned on Indian women/ girl using culture. (My boyfriend’s brothers and father happen to put my mom’s cooking to shame. But i still like my mom’s cooking because it is what i have tasted since i was born, and because it is different not like normal indian cooking.)

P/S: and the girls who say they like their mom’s cooking but cant cook at all are BIG FAT LIERS unless they are below 12.

@ Dani filth

No one is impressed with you or your language, which falls nothing short of being garbage. While you’re so into the mood for some ‘hardcore’ English, i suggest that you make an effort to contact a commentator here by the name of ‘asshole’ and give him some Language lessons. That way, you’ll be happy and we’ll be happy having one ‘asshole’ less on the loose.
