The most-cited reason for women not cooking was “having a partner who does most of the cooking.”  Other popular reasons for women not cooking include “not having sufficient time” and “not wanting to clean up afterwards.”

The survey also shows that while 78 percent of women enjoy cooking, most were only able to cook six dishes from memory, without referring to a recipe.  Eleven percent admit they cannot cook more than three meals without turning to a recipe book or seeking assistance.

Eleven percent of the women surveyed admitted they have never prepared roasted meat, and five percent confessed that they have trouble cooking omelets or boiling eggs.
