Does Cooking Make You Gay?

Many people like to cook -- gay caballeros, straight senoritas, gay senoritas, straight caballeros. Cooking is a useful skill and to me, lots of fun. (I've loved fiddling with food since i was sixteen. I am a lady, and I like guys, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, I cook, i love it, and i do it well.)
As for gay chefs, i can't believe no one mentioned one of my culinary heroes -- Top Chef contender Carlos Fernandez, who is my hero because he can make something sensational out of the most mundane ingredients. It doesn't hurt either that the man is well-mannered and gorgeous

Does Cooking Make You Gay?

I think that cooking in general seems hypersexualized. If you're not Gordon Ramsey, cursing your way around the kitchen, then you must be Nigella Lawson, Paula Deen, or Rachel Ray - a domestic goddess, downhome pork-lovin' grandma, or the bubbly cheerleader next door.

In so many other areas, modern men and women defy traditional gender roles - is it so hard to imagine a woman firing up a grill? Or a father serving warm milk and cookies to his children when they come home from school?

Does Cooking Make You Gay?

Hi, I am a straight female, and I have two opinions about cooking in general. First is cooking is very sexy. I think satisfying your sense of smell by cooking and satsfying your taste buds by eating is an aphrodisiac within itself. It completely turns me on.
Secondly cooking requires a strong character, especially if you are working in a professional kitchen. Whether you are gay, straight, men or female you hae to have a strong personality and be able to endure tough situations. Nobosy likes a cry baby in a kitchen. So to answer the question; cooking does not make one gay at all. For one thing it makes a person either sexy or strong.

Does Cooking Make You Gay?

I am a straight (non-gay) man who loves to cook but I'm not afraid to utilize large sausages in a my cooking but only if the recipe calls for it. I feel that anyone no matter their orientation has the right to enjoy football but it should not be played with a raw chicken that would be sick and perverted. I also happen to have it on good authority that Emiril uses a female stunt double which would not make him gay but might give us a clue as to why he uses the same jokes every show. Surely Food Network, if you can afford to put caviar on dog biscuits you can by Emiril a new joke book.
