Assalamu Alaikum


A bit of a simple question which I am curious about.



How many men in your family can cook (properly, curry and difficult dishes like what our amazing sisters can do) and at what age did they start cooking.

I am ashamed to say that I do not know how to cook, have tried to learn MANY times but still cant successfully cook a good dish the way my sisters do. They are true pros.

LOL

My eldest brother can cook absolutely deliciously. Truly amazing. He has a great palette and certainly applies it to his food! He learnt to cook since his teenage years, I think. And still does cook now and again, but his wifey does most of it.

LOL such a funny thread

Be sure to have interesting answers...

Assalamu aleikum brother

In my family, me and my dad are the only one who can cook like mum.Dad used to cook when I was little and when my mom needs help.I started to cook at 15 but I was baking cakes and dessert then later on I started doing more complicated recipes like dishes from my home country.Now I'm 23 and I'm fully able to do any dishes that my mother makes.
It's very nice to cook its makes you more dependable.I do admit that my food taste good but I will never reach my mom quality and skills.
Inshallah you will learn.

^ mashALlah your brother sounds amazing.

One of my bros can cook, another two can put together fast food (indian style), My father was a chef like none you have ever seen, he was the master chef, he could chop some potatoes fry it and make your mouth water !

makes me ashamed, i think I might have to be a chef by next year.

My husband and I share the cooking in our house. When I'm at work he cooks and vice versa.

My son is 15 and can cook brilliant meals for the whole family. He was really into cooking a year or two ago and was inspired by some of the TV chefs. Unfortunately he has lost interest, so now I need to be crafty to get him to cook for us - but he can when he wants to.

Many of us in our family learned to do the house chores VERY early, like when we were 5-6 years old. I learned to cook well when I was 11-12 years old. All of my brothers as well as me( except my little brothers who are 2 and 6) can cook food pretty well.

Its not THAT hard to cook. It only takes practice, practice and practice. Eventually you will be a master at it. :P

I love men who are self-sufficient as I do women who are self-sufficient ... isn't it best to be jack of all trades and not at the mercy of anyone?

My Dad was an outstanding cook and did most of the cooking in our house. One of my bros makes a nice meat curry and rice but he uses Patak's masala for the curry for which I tease him by saying that's not real cooking lol. Then our youngest chef is my son Masha Allah. He was nine when he started baking cakes using cake mixes. Now at fourteen, he is able to fend for himself in emergencies by making fish fingers, beans, noodles etc (he adds garlic and spices to make noodles tastier) and recently I taught him to make a fish and chicken curry. Us women must make sure that we not only teach our daughters but also our sons how to cook. It's fun, but more importantly it's a life skill which means they will always be able to fend for themselves in whatever situation they're in.

Neither do I.. I got through grad school (was living alone) on sandwiches and the kindness of strangers :haha: however, I have been watching tons of cooking shows and bought a few simple cook books and I have made many great things.. I have also made many terrible things that sent people vomiting (except my dad) Since I am the baby he was never keen on hurting my feelings .. but he does hint sometimes in a desperate voice no please don't, take a break from cooking look the fridge is full al7mdullilah.. ;D

If you really think about it - the best cooks in the world seem to be men......

Ha ha, ukthi!

Tbh, Im not the greatest cook in the world either......too much time behind books and too little time behind a stove has this outcome i guess.

But, I have a few 'speciality' dishes that I gets many smiles : ), Alhamdulillah......and I love to bake.

Insha Allah, if I get more time later this year - I would love to put more effort in this. Practise makes perfect!

Well,none in my family.None of my 3 bro's but they always comment on my made dishes like they are the greatest chefs and no one know cooking more than them except my baby.He doesn't like me spend time in the kitchen.But this was my father who taught me making Rotee,plain bread when my mum was sick and i was the kitchen in charge.My father helped me a lot in the kitchen,taught me some simple dishes.I was 14 that time.After that,aunties of the family tried convincing me learning stitching but that time,i was grown up and learning how to make round rotee experience was enough for me :X

yeh i understand it but cant speak it



i can kinda make basic stuf, i can probably make homemade burgers/chips/fish etc. I can do roti and make sweet dishes like vermacilli, ducchoi, payesh etc.

u kno the easy stuff. But my bhabi was saying to me the other day it would be such a treat if I/my brothers could cook and she could sit back and enjoy our cooking, so thats what kinda initiated this thread lol. but my bhabi is omega amazing, she came into our family not knowing how to cook at all, and now shes like a PRO thanks to my mother/sisters.

we help out obviously )peeling slicing chopping cleaning) but we cant cook lol

Growing up, my mother and father would cook meals together. They cooked together not because they had to but because it was something they enjoyed doing together, and both of my parents are amazing cooks!

When I was married, my ex husband would occasionally help me. The grill and BBQ was more of his thing, and he made great BBQ. When we entertained friends and family, he was the one standing by the grill and making sure everyone was fed and enjoying their food. He also built us an outdoor kitchen, that way we could cook outside.

Some men in family can cook, and some who cannot.

I guess observing your mother and sisters cook from start to finish, and then attempting to do it yourself while having your mother or sister observe you, or join in a few times.. as mentioned above, it takes practice and patient.

may Allaah make it easy upon you akhi IbnAbdulHakim and the rest of you, Aameen.

I don't understand it either. Male pride that was instilled by women I guess. But Al hamdulillah our family has been different so far. I'll never forget the days my uncle used to catch fish for lunch just simply fry it in spices on the chapati griddle, while my aunty made chapatis to go with it. It was the most amazing lunch ever. My other uncles are the same. Sadly their offspring don't seem to have inherited their fathers' domestic skills. But one of my male cousins can sew like a pro! :statisfie

Yup, that happened!!! I managed to learn 4 dishes and four occasions in the first week though, and after that, my mother said "find a wife"... :hmm:

I only ended up cooking about twice a week though, I was too lazy to make food everyday in my twenties. Take out was the norm. Kebabish was round the corner :D

Well, my family doesn't make curries, but since the topic is men cooking I just wanted to say that my dad makes some awesome dishes, and he has tought me how to cook too, not entirely by himself though, but he's given me some great advice. Growing up, men always made the big outdoor dishes (not just bbq) while women made all the sides,tortillas and what not inside. When men know how to cook its REALLY good, from my experience. Perhaps part of it is the enjoyment of not being the one to cook.... looooool :D It's quite nice when somebody cooks for ya isn't it? :D

As far as curries and stuff, this is one of my favorite places to go to when i want to learn a dish, i know recipes vary from location to location, however it's a good place to start IMO. This is indian vegeterian http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/ and this is pakistani http://www.desicookbook.com/

my mother, father and babhi used to make dishes...

i used to get in and give instructions to my mother and father... i irritate them in a funny way... its like when my mom turns away a bit.. i put my desired spice in there.. think it will enrich the taste of the dish... all i get back is ... strange looks ... haa haa..

Atlast when we sit to have the meal... my bro/dad used to ask... whats something different ... and they stare at me asking : this fellow did something.. i smile back .. as if i had spelled a magic... its fun..

Some time.. i used to get the kitchen pass(when no one is at home)
.. everytime i enter the kitchen to cook..a new discovery is made ... a new taste is born... and i need to name the dish which i found...

My dad's a great cook masha'allah.
As is my mummy.
I'm ashamed to say that I can't cook (properly) and I'm a girl!
(I can bake cakes though...)

A lot of what I learned was from watching my mom in the kitchen. Watching the food network helped but trial and error is the best way to learn. When I was in cooking school we cooked a lot of chicken dishes because they were cheaper than say a lobster. Just keep at it.

Plus it must have been a pleasure for your Mother to teach her how to cook, my Mother-in-Law taught me :)

Exactly like my little brother *shaking head*

Brothers of the world, those who can't cook, please learn to cook! It's truly an invaluable asset and skill!!! Insha'Allaah y'all succeed

Salam to all and Ramadan Kareem inshallah,

My husband cook more than I (I cook once in blue moon lool)
He can cook and he love it when he does, however he likes my support, he wants me to be in the kitchen even if thats just to chat with him and not helping lool

He cooks okay to be honest, sometimes not bad and sometimes excellent
In conclusion, way beyond me lool

I have no idea how to cook and my family seems ok about it. In the western world, they expect the men to cook. I really wanna learn though.
