    Men define their masculinity by constructing cooking as a leisure activity rather than one of labour, and as a special event performed in their free time in a manner that is laidback and almost playful (Hollows, 2003: 239). Accordingly, men assert their masculinity by cooking as an occasion and as a form of creative leisure because it is distanced from domestic obligation and labour that are associated with women’s position in the gendered division of labour (Hollows, 2003: 243). This form of masculine domestic cookery was popularised by cooking shows such as The Naked Chef, whose host Jamie Oliver kept the mundane and repetitive characteristics associated with feminine domestic cookery at a distance, informing his viewers that domestic care performed by men is a ‘luxurious indulgence’ (Lupton, 1996: 146).…

Saying something was better than nothing at all, which was sometimes how he found himself around the woman; almost speechless; especially when she returned his banter with more force than what he'd issued it. That was a occurence the man definitely wasn't used to. Most other women would simply roll their eyes, huff in annoyance, or giggle like immature schoolchildren, caught off guard and flattered by his attentions. Not this one,…
