Obviously, Boys Who Can Cook is meant to be a comedic page. So these unappetizing photos and jokes about what it takes to create a gourmet meal aren’t intended to be taken seriously. The name of the page, accompanied by the heart eyes emoji, is meant to poke fun at people who post this exact caption to brag about their significant other while sharing a photo of something they prepared.
Someone might post a photo of a gorgeous plate of pasta with a creamy mushroom sauce that their partner prepared and caption it, “boys who can cook” along with the heart eyes face. But sometimes, people brag about their partners’ cooking abilities without realizing that the food they’re sharing a photo of looks anything but appetizing.

As ridiculous as the posts are on this page, it is true that we tend to be more attracted to people who are well versed in the kitchen. In fact, 86% of Americans consider cooking to be an attractive trait, and two thirds are more likely to go on a first date with someone who boasts about their cooking skills on their dating profile. Preparing a delicious meal can also be a great way for couples to bond, as 73% say cooking with their partner is one of their favorite things to do.

But how often are men actually cooking? According to a recent survey, probably not enough. NPR reports that gender roles continue to persist in the kitchen, as around the world, women are in the kitchen cooking over twice as many meals as men. In fact, the only country the survey found where men were actually cooking more meals than women was Italy. So if you really want to find a boy who can cook, perhaps you should start there! (Just make sure you never ask for pineapple on your pizza or a cappuccino after lunch.)

Cooking is an important life skill that everyone should know, regardless of their gender. If you want to impress a date, you can prepare a delicious meal for them. If you want to save money and start eating healthier, you can focus on making meals from scratch. If you want to find a way to bond with your partner, the two of you can start cooking together. And if you plan on having children, you can teach them how to cook as well, leaving them better prepared to enter the adult world one day.

I love ice cream and donuts as much as the next person. But if I’m being completely honest with myself, I know that I feel better when I fill my plate with fresh fruits and vegetables. And when it comes to looking out for your health, a study from Johns Hopkins found that cooking at home is one of the smartest moves you can make. “When people cook most of their meals at home, they consume fewer carbohydrates, less sugar and less fat than those who cook less or not at all – even if they are not trying to lose weight,” Julia A. Wolfson, MPP, a lead author of the study, says.

“Obesity is an escalating public health problem that contributes to other serious health issues, including diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease,” Wolfson continued. “The evidence shows people who cook at home eat a more healthy diet. Moving forward, it’s important to educate the public about the benefits of cooking at home, identify strategies that encourage and enable more cooking at home, and help everyone, regardless of how much they cook, make healthier choices when eating out.”
