Cooking is an essential activity in African homes especially in marriages, bringing families together around a table and getting served with delicacies that are cherished by all.
Families for a moment forget their troubles once food is served irrespective of the time of the day and how busy or otherwise marriage partners are.
The task of cooking is usually performed by women or wives at home and in many cultural settings in Africa woman are considered those in charge of such a task although some men also cook for the family.
Don’t forget globally men are respected for being good cooks, preparing special meals for all kinds of occasions, proofing that men equally are good at cooking.
But with modernity and couples now all engaged in formal work settings, wives equally go to work and return home together with their husbands. So whose duty is it then to cook?
In Ghana cooking carried out by wives for their husbands even after a hard day’s work has become a major talking point after a group of feminists called Pepper Dem Ministries argued that women who cook for their husbands even after a busy day at work consistently are “slaves” to those men.
Ghanaians have taken to Social media to share their thoughts on the debate which has been trending for days now.
