Although it is an open society now, many old feudal ideas are still deeply rooted and difficult to change.
In ancient times, the woman was in charge and the man was outside. So the opportunity to make money outside like this should be boys, which leads to the fact that most international chefs are men. Of course, this is just a domestic statement. As for why all foreign countries are boys, I think it's probably because girls can only eat, so boys should be able to cook, and girls don't like to touch these greasy things.
In China, famous chefs and gourmets like this are all men, earning money to support their families in public, and their taste buds are a little different from those of women. Men may not be so picky about things, but they care about the nature of food and can understand the most important taste of food to a certain extent, thus becoming chefs and gourmets.
There is also a folk saying that children do not pass on to women, and some very old formulas are passed down from generation to generation. Since ancient times, things handed down by these families have only been passed on to sons, not to daughters, so many chefs are men and inherit family recipes. I believe that this concept still affects the inheritance of recipes to a certain extent, which leads to girls' inability to learn, so it is normal for chefs and gourmets to be male.
It is also a tradition for women to cook at home, that is, the so-called situation in which women are in charge and men are in charge. Girls take care of their husbands at home and educate their children, which is still the case today. Because men earn money outside, women always have hot meals after men come home, which is the happiness of the family. Women have to take care of their children at home and cook for them. Over time, it is also the occupation of housewives.
Moreover, girls cook more ink, not as neat as boys, and their strength is particularly small. After all, many Chinese dishes are big stir-fry, and famous chefs like that usually turn the pot back and forth several times, which is particularly laborious and has no time to practice for two or three years. Of course, this is just my own opinion, not professional knowledge.
Whether this phenomenon will continue to prevail or not, I think it is right for women to teach each other at home. After all, we still need men to support us, so this kind of hard work is more suitable for men.
I remember my mother working in a small restaurant when she was making money outside. Because the restaurant takes porridge as its staple food, my mother, as a housewife for so many years, helps cook porridge in the restaurant. It's not difficult. But she always wanted to learn cooking from the chef, and the chef refused to teach her. She always thinks that she will cause trouble. She didn't go to the kitchen much at that time. Although women have to go to the lobby and go to the kitchen, men are more popular in these practical operations. Generally, the chefs in big hotels are all men, and they are all fat chefs. Over time, this phenomenon is deeply rooted.
So it is good for girls to teach each other honestly at home.
