Girl, you better can cook

Knowing how to cook can be a useful life skill for anyone, but it shouldn’t be treated as something only women have to do. Men and women both eat, so both can learn how to prepare meals. Cooking is about taking care of yourself and the people you love.

If someone says you “better know how to cook,” don’t feel like your worth depends on it. Your kindness, character, and how you treat others matter much more than making the perfect meal. Nobody should judge your value by one skill.

If you don’t know how to cook yet, that’s okay. Everyone starts somewhere. Learning a few simple recipes can be fun, and it gives you more confidence and independence no matter who you are.
