Some women are lucky to have a husband that thrives in the kitchen and loves being there, while others have to drag them in kicking and screaming. Before resorting to divorce, here are a few ways you can get your man working and cooking in the kitchen (without him even realising it)!

1. Firstly, gadgets! Men love gadgets, so try and include things like big solid fry pans that allow for a big manly grip and big manly meals, so they can get messy and creative with their manly cooking.
