Bethlehem - Together - Younis Jaafra - 'If hunger at night was not a habit, they would not put a lamp in the refrigerator.' Food is an important thing in this world. People no longer consider food now only for the sake of eating. Rather, it has become one of the basics of life. Eating is not limited to eating. It is not eaten at home or by women. Rather, men have become partners and good cooks, even superior to women. Will a woman allow a man to encroach on her private kingdom??? Director of the Institute of Hotel and Tourism Management at Bethlehem University, Chef Elias Juha, said that the idea of ??a man completely replacing a woman is not true and will not happen, but men, even in the past, had and still have inclinations and a desire to prepare food at home and also for it to become a profession for him, because women today She became an essential partner in building society and became a worker, entrepreneur, and busy as well, so there was somewhat greater cooperation between them, with the man taking o n some of the household tasks such as cooking and cleaning. Jehi explained that Western societies do not make any distinction whether the chef is a man or a woman, as some of the most important chefs around the world, and in French cuisine in particular, are men like Paul Bocuse, but in the Middle East and the Arab world, the situation is slightly different, as food preparation is limited to women to an extent. It is great at home. This differs in restaurants, where men have priority. This could be due to reasons such as the woman's physical inability to withstand the pressure of the kitchen, the heat, standing for long periods, and the possibility of some quarrels between women or men. The main role of women is to raise and raise children because mothers school . He noted that the labor market in the field of hospitality and cooking does not care about the gender classification of the chef, but rather what is important is his ability to endure, the presence of a fine sense of taste, and high skills and tec hniques in cooking. As for society's opinion and their acceptance of such an idea, Juha said that there is acceptance, but not to the end. Society's view remains that women are the ones who cook and prepare food, which is the prevailing one when they know that men contribute to such tasks, such as preparing food and cleaning the house for two days a week. He has a weak character and is called 'ruled' by his wife, but with this generation the situation is different because both of them are now working, in complete contrast to the old generation in which the mother-in-law was willing to do the cooking and did not allow her son to help his wife or even her daughter's husband. In a special question to Chef Elias about how he was helping his wife in preparing food and doing housework, his answer was that of people who help their wives, but he does not like this role to be an official role for him, but when he wants to, he enters the kitchen and prevents anyone from entering it and starts cooking, but he is in pe rson. He does not like to commit to helping on a regular basis, and when helping, he prefers to cook simple foods. Rawan Zahayka, a social work student at Bethlehem University, adds that preparing food can be for both sexes, but at home society has forced women to do it, and she does it with great regret, but as a profession there is a much greater presence of men than women, but society is 'backward' because it is a role model. The woman is only at home and cooking, so when a man helps her, he makes her feel that he is honoring her with that!!! Source: Maan News Agency
