For millennia, nearly all traditions have held that cooking should be confined
to women. According to Inness’s book “Cooking Lessons: The Politics of Gender and
Food,” it is not difficult to note that food, as well as its preparation, is heavily gender-
coded to the feminine. In most countries, however, masculinity is synonymous with
the preparation of specific foods, such as barbecues (Szabo 2013). Because of the
social burden on men not to prepare domestic food, it has become a cultural tradition
in many cultures that a kitchen is a position reserved for women. On the other hand,
cooking is also used to express masculinity in men though this is limited to particular
types of foods, for instance, meat, or cooking during special occasions. When
referring to the act of cooking particular type’s food as a way of expressing
masculinity, the paper will use barbecuing section to show how men use cooking to
express their masculinity. Generally, this paper will seek to show how men use
cooking, or not cooking to define as well as assert their masculinity.

story from me , Anyone in this world who wants success , whether male or female ,
Should always have a lot effort to make that dream come true .
