    :hello:most of conflicts starting here only in some families, only once or twice they cook and start to give suggestions to us which make us angry...

    Two (many) cooks in kitchen spoils the broth goes the aphorism.
    But two (young or old ?) couple in kitchennett - food never gets cooked or it turns into potpourri.

    Thanks and Regards.
    God - for me - East Or West - Curd Bath (Rice) is best ever with thadka by spouse.

    :hello:Well done .

    2. You are attempting to enrich the thread by asking reverse questions. Very pertinent. Why menfolk “think” there stomach is to be guarded and guided by their spouse.

    3. Why men should think about entering heart of spouse only with a unwilted flower in hand genuflecting instead of nice cake & pizza. Interesting.
    4. In present India, before “ ladki Dheko” commences , from girl or girl side a long print out of questionnaire presented to boy side.
    5. The screening-questionnaire covers broad aspects that invariably assess the boy’s health report, parents’ health report, culinary skill, Indian and other cuisines, his eating habits , whether boy & girl after their wedding would be freed to live separately etc. boys are finding it difficult to girl for marriage as conditions stipulated are strange and stringent.
    6. Every aspect including “edipus complex” is evaluated by girl side. Girls are more educated, bold and courageous and it is no more or mere “ladki Dheko”.
    Long live Bharat Sundaris.
    Thanks and Regards.
    God & celestial beings watch from heavens ongoing wedlock(s).

    Thank you ladies and gents for taking time and sharing your point of views on this topic. Males are most welcome to share their replies. I too agree with many of yours view here that winning someone's heart is on various factors, not just food. Yes, better bonding between family members start when they have atleast one meal together without gadgets and television. In our house, already we are following this. I believe young parents now are becoming aware of how important is family dinner. Hope many are there just like us.
    Answering the question in my original post, I am an average cook. I have interest in cooking and try new recipe now and then, some turn good some are disaster. I too have signature dishes that are yummy everytime I prepare. Still I won't claim that I am a super cook.

    After reading all your replies, I realized that my understanding on the title was completely different. I thought way to the man's heart thro food meant enhanced cooking skill of a lady. The title misleaded the topic of discussion. Apologies for not putting it right. The question intended was Can a woman's cooking skill win a man's attention easily and sustain it till last. To me, beauty attraction fade away with age or till they come across another beauty, intelligence can also win someone's attention then crops some insecurity and inferior complex, leading to ego. I have always felt outstanding cooking is the only thing men enjoy, appreciate, admire and accept in their wives without any negative association. In my circle I have observed how the husbands(no longer using henpecked husbands) are more attached to them, and do anything that make culinary experts wives happy. This is my understand.
    Do you know such women and their husbands personally and how they are as couple? I would be happy to read replies that disagree.

    @GREENBAY,thank you. That was the kind of response I was expecting, direct and what you have observed in your circle.

    software boy with decent salary
    Chef boy with decent salary
    employed with 20000 Salary, expert in cooking.
    Try giving option to girls to select their match from the list, I bet many would go for software profile, that are girls.
    We will have a separate discussion on ways to win woman's heart and cooking skill of men to read more options.

    I understand this cannot be applied, if someone been in love with a woman and she is not so good in cooking. Some exception are always there. Lets discuss about the majority.

    :hello:Recently a friend of mine invited me to join for her daughter’s “ladki Dheko” function. All formalities followed and completed.
    The boy was insisting that he would like to see girl’s mother before finally to covey his approval. Mother was abroad and so a recent image of her in taken in a family function was shown. But the boy was reluctant and when pressed for reason, what he said in response - astounded the gathering.

    A week later once again we all gathered with girl’s mother. For a while mother was going around to bring and serve refreshments along with her daughter. The boy was keenly watching the mother probably assessing her!

    He turned cheerful, look at girl’s mother who was in her fifties, looking thin with rich black tresses and healthy. Satisfied with his assessment, said to her in Tamil, “Amma, I just wanted to know how your daughter - my would be wife- would look like when she is of your age!”
    Thanks and Regards.
    God - your creations all gracefully age.

    LOL , the guy should have assessed the FIL's youngness too, as the girl shares her father Genes too.

    If the man is worthy and has the right taste buds, this definitely is a way. He can proudly boast his wife is a great cook and bring his friends and family and enjoy their envy. All men might not be worthy and not all have the right sense of appreciation/tastes.
