More S'pore men don aprons

SINGAPORE (AFP): More Singapore men are donning the apron and taking over what has traditionally been their wives fiefdom -- the kitchen, a report said on Sunday.

Cooking classes in community centers have ceased to be the exclusive domain of women, and all-male cooking classes are gaining in popularity, the Sunday Times reported.

Of 18,000 people who signed up for cooking lessons organized by People's Associations last year, 3,000 were men.

Jacinta Lim, deputy director for the community-based People's Associations, said more men were learning how to cook because of changing lifestyles.
