1. Wear the Chef Hat

Yes, we get it that men don’t really go beyond Maggi and women definitely need a break from it. So, how about switching roles at least 2 days a week. Give grilling a shot. It is simple, quick and no significant cooking skills required. Winters give us the perfect reason to indulge in snacks whenever we can grab some. So, indulge your partner and flatter your friends.
