Although it doesn't make you a lesser woman if you don't know how to cook, but this will be solely dependent on who you are married to. And don't forget in a hurry that most cultures see the females folks not only getting married to the males but to the whole family members as whole. And if it turns out that you don't know how to cook and the family members have such great expectation of you as a woman, they could resent your inability to fix them a delicious meal any time they visit.
I know this, thanks for answering. This thing is affecting me and it must be affecting many others who are not good at cooking.
Personally, I must applaud you for raising this kind of sensitive issue that is being overlooked but yet affecting many homes. Honestly, I know many marriages that are torn apart by this type of issue. I will kindly advise every woman out there to make conscious effort in knowing how to cook to some certain degree. As it usually said in Africa culture that the way to a man's heart is through food.
Wow cooking plays a big role in a womans life. There are men who will have that notion or mentality that if a woman does not know how to cook then she is as good as not being referred to a woman. The one thing i know is that a woman who does not know how to cook is really a big disappointment and a disgrace to the family. It really makes no sense to have a woman inside the house and she cannot prepare a decent meal for the family, why is she even there if she cannot perform those kinds of duties? There is also a saying that goes " The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" in other words men appreciate good food which is prepared by a good cook, and if you cannot do that then how do you win a man's heart? Anyway i don't think it makes you less of a woman if you do not know how to cook, it just makes you look bad in the midst of other women, which will make you uncomfortable. The positive side of it is that the criticisms will make you do something about it like probably joining a cooking class.
Some people just don't understand cooking at all. I tried to teach my daughter how to cook and she just didn't want to learn. She told me she would marry a man who loved cooking and this is what she did. However, over the years she has been forced to start cooking and now has gotten rather good at the few things she enjoys making. Cooking is an art and you either like it or not. It doesn't make you less of a woman if you can't cook.
You can be good in something else. If you are not a good cook or not cooking at all, you will look bad if you haven't tried to know how to cook. You should start learning now.
There are just some people who try to cook and take classes to learn to cook. Take for an example, my mom. She is the worst cook in the world and no matter how hard she tries she just can't cook. There are some people like this and they just can't get the hang of it at all.

No, being a good cook does not make you a better or lesser woman. It is a personal preference and many women are not good cooks and are still successful, respected, and empowered women. Everyone has different skills and passions and being a good cook is just one of many potential ways to demonstrate strength, intelligence, and capability.
It depends on how deep your culture runs into you. Some cultures are so intensive in that you can not even be considered as a normal woman if you can not cook. In the world today, things have changed and it does not matter whether you know how to cook or not. These cultures have been passed by time and people have grown to appreciate an individual as she is. There is also cooking classes and and YouTube videos that help one to learn how to cook if you are actually interested. Cooking for me is not such a big deal and some men also love cooking. There are others who cook well but they do not like or enjoy cooking at all. One should not feel a lesser person because of not knowing how to cook. It is something that one can learn easily.
I don't think so I myself don't know cooking I can only cook instant noodles and some people tell me that you should try doing it but I am really not interested and my mother also deny it she says you don't need to cook if you don't want be rich enough to pay there will be so many people to feed you .
No, being good at cooking or not has no bearing on your worth as a woman or as a person. Cooking skills are just one aspect of many that make up a person's abilities and interests. Your value as a woman is not defined by traditional gender roles or stereotypes.
It's important to remember that everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, and not being skilled in cooking doesn't diminish your value or abilities in any way. What matters most is being true to yourself, pursuing your passions, and embracing your unique talents and qualities.
If cooking is something you're interested in improving, you can always practice and learn new recipes over time. However, it's equally valid to focus on other interests and skills that bring you joy and fulfillment. Ultimately, being a "good" woman or person is about being kind, compassionate, and true to yourself, regardless of your cooking abilities.
