"Global Gender Gap: Women Dominate Cooking as Men Lag Behind"

A new survey by Gallup and Cookpad reveals that women cook nearly 9 meals per week on average, while men cook only 4, widening the gender gap in home cooking. The survey, which began in 2018, initially showed men cooking more during the pandemic, narrowing the gap. However, the latest results indicate a reversal of this trend, with men cooking less in 2022. The gender gap in cooking varies by country, with the largest gaps found in Ethiopia, Tajikistan, Egypt, Nepal, and Yemen. Italy is the only country where men cook more than women. The reasons for the gap reversal and Italy's exception remain unclear.
