Every weekend, I wake up around 9-10 o’clock, just grab a small bite and take care of some stuff waiting for the highlight of the weekend, MY MOM’s COOKING. Its either Majboos, Beryani, Safi or other Bahraini dishes.
If you think about it, you will realize that, most of my mom’s generation knows how to cook, and you will also realize that each of them have their own touch when it comes to cooking. You can really notice that in Ramadan, when the neighbors and family send food. You will find 4 dishes of majboos but all taste different. That’s what I call the “Art of Bahraini cooking”.
I have noticed that most of our generation girls (age between 21-30) don’t really know how to cook. I wasn’t sure about this assumption, so I ran small test at the place I used to work. I asked the girls a simple question “do you know how to cook eggs”, very simple thing to do right?? Wrong, I got crazy responses, example:
“ I am too afraid to go near fire”!!, “only if my mom warms up the cooking pan, I can put the eggs in”, with most of them answering NO.
A few years later (today), I ran another test; I asked “do you know how to cook”
We have 4 girls on the floor above us, and the result was 4-0. 4 saying No, and 0 saying yes.
I have heard a lot of reasons for not cooking, most of them saying, we work, we don’t have time. Let me answer that, you learn cooking when you are in high school, so you had time and you didn’t work. Second, even if you work, you have all weekends and believe me if you wanted, you would have learned.
I know these days girls don’t have to cook, we are not living in the stone age but let me give you a peace of advice, if you love your man, cook for him. This is one of the best you can do for him, Guys will love it. You do want to make your man happy right?? cooking is a start!

why don't YOU cook?
I admit I don't know how to cook but difintely not egg because this is the easiest thing anyone can do :)
But thats mainly because we don't need to when we live with our parents. Once you are married then the experiments will start and the poor husband (the vicitm)is usually patient to wait until the new wife learn it the right way.
Have you ever heared of buff pastry filled with macaroni? One of my work colleagues who just got married created this dish for her husband. She copied the wrong ingredients from her mother :)
I agree... i almost starved my first ramadhan away from home, and dropped 2 dress dizes lol
had to learn how to coook in order to survive..
so its true then, the way to ur man's heart is thro his stomach ;)
So cooking makes them Love you……but wait… (How do you make the Guys Faithful!!!)
Poisoning them maybe
if someone is going to love me for my cooking, than thanx i dont want his love, let him save it for himself.
Butterfly,
i have seen that happen and the poor husband has to say "it tastes great".
Sunshine down under,
it happened to me! now i know how to cook.
Shahrayar,
ummm i donno what would make guys faithful, thats a tough one
Ala,
i didnt say love you for cooking, i just said it helps when married, its always an advantage
well well, Men are shallow so girls we are smarter let's just learn how to cook and let them get even fatter!! So this is how you are going to keep your man!! No one would look at him!
and by the way , you asked me if i know how too cook and my answer was yes.
Look, Cooking comes with a female nature of taking care of people around. I think Women can transfer her love feelings and care through a sweet dinner or lunch. Lots of effort and love i can see.time,patience,thinking,testing, and more..all involves for a meal. And a smart woman should always serve the best :) .
Cooking is ART. and women are the best Art makers!
