I'll have you all know that I come from a family where all the men learned to cook at a very young age. The cooking AND kitchen cleaning duties are equally shared with their spouces. My husband and I share the cooking and cleaning equally as well. I taught my son how to start cooking at the age of 6 and he still loves being in the kitchen as well as on the grill. It's all a matter of how a person, man or woman, is raised.
