Some people are born with a cookbook in one hand and a spatula in another. Unfortunately, I am not some people, but I absolutely love food – every spicy morsel of a home-cooked meal felt like a slice of heaven when I was growing up. My mom wasn’t having it though. Like many African mothers, she was of the opinion that cooking was the girl’s duty and set about making me a first-class chef. After a few lessons, her expectation was considerably lowered from making a chef out of me to getting me to at least cook what could be considered edible.

To be honest, the stereotype about women belonging in the kitchen is old and tired. I just wish more women are given the freedom to decide what they enjoy and what other chores interest them. No doubt, cooking is great, especially if you like food and you don’t want to be broke. But my sis. if you don’t like the feel of the kitchen, find what works for you and don’t allow people to stress you out. https://theladysroom.ng/whats-your-horror-cooking-story/
