I was quite amused to read about this. So read on.

"They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach but it seems the dining tables have turned as increasing numbers of men are taking up cooking in a bid to seduce women.

Dubbed 'Gastrosexuals' this new generation of men consider cooking more a hobby than a household chore and use their kitchen prowess to impress friends and prospective partners.

Men having the ability to cook is also now a key factor in attracting women along with salary, status, personality and appearance, according to a new research."

It might be a new trend in the West but here in India I know of so many men cooking as a hobby, that this seems like the West is catching up with us.

But nevertheless, its a new 'breed' of men and let's us welcome them.
