Prompted partly by gastronomic curiosity and partly by sheer greed,
Mr H entered the kitchen with Mrs H as his guide. The result is
perhaps the most honest food book ever written. It is certainly one
of the funniest. While exploring culinary items both famous and
obscure, from pizza to pancakes, Seville orange marmalade to
blancmange, they made an important discovery - there are several
important differences between men and women in the kitchen. Women
in the kitchen (according to Mr H) Women are very, very, very
bossy. Women are very difficult to get out of kitchen shops. Their
favourite reading tends to be the Lakeland catalogue. Women are
obsessed with cleanliness to extent that it imperils our natural
resistance to bugs and germs. Men in the kitchen (according to Mrs
H) Men want a huge amount of praise for anything they do. Men are
reluctant to follow recipes in the same way that they are reluctant
to ask for directions when they are lost. Men tend to overdo the
ingredients in recipes. They think that if a little is good then a
lot will be even better. Many dishes in this perilous endeavour
were seasoned with salty language and peppery outbursts. In the
devastating heat of the kitchen, it was the most perilous of
domestic adventures, but the marriage somehow survived. Some
couples climb Kilimanjaro, Mr and Mrs H made a pork pie.
