SINCE WHEN DID COOKING BECOME SO MALE?

I have just finished watching the quarter finals of 'Professional Masterchef'...and the irony of it all is boiling over!!!

Cooking and 'being in the kitchen' has always been seen to be the domestic domain of the wife, the mother, the daughter....actually anyone who is a woman! Whether you wanted to cook or not...whether you were a cuisine terrorist or not, it really didn't matter. If you were female, you were cooking! And yet - with the current Masterchef series, every finalist so far is male, every judge is male and so far every restaurant taster is, yes you guessed it, male!!

So.. when did testosterone decide who wears the apron??
