Cooking En Femme.....

[Darla Jean]

I was in the kitchen last evening, dressed, preparing some food and realized how much Darla Jean enjoyed working in the kitchen...I like to cook (yes I can also bbq and smoke on the man grill) and I find that there is a certain pleasantness that derives from baking or preparing a meal as Darla. I also noted that when I am cooking, I'm not dressed to the nines - rather, flats, shorts and a simple blouse and I'm happy. There is something about being female and cooking that settles me and makes me feel comfortable. I am wondering what your experience is - I'm sure there are other girls here who cook - what are you making?, how do you dress? and how do you feel? when your female self dons and apron, picks up the chef tools and goes to work?

[MissTee]

Same here. I love to cook when dressed.

[Karren H]

Not that I can cook well..... but that's way too much like work to me and if I'm dressed up work is the last thing I want to do ! lol

[I Am Paula]

I am a full time housewife. Best job in the world.

Just be carefull with a wig around a stove, gas or electric. Wig fibers will melt or catch fire pretty easily.

As for cooking, for me, being dressed as a woman doesn't change anything.

[Dusty815]

I also love to cook, Last Sunday Dusty was in full makeup, totally dressed and cooking dinner for my wife. I made Pork roast with fresh vegetables, Mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and rolls. I had a wonderful time and we had a great meal.I even wore my apron.

[Daryl]

Always dreesed, so don't cook, don't eat. Gotta cook so I can eat.

[Donna Joanne]

I do all the cooking, and never get "dressed"...LoL. Last night I made a chili-cheeseburger mac and salad. was wearing a tshirt and shorts with my flip flops and no makeup, like hundreds of thousands of other women do. Only June Cleaver cooked in heels and pearls on a daily basis.

Just like when I sweep floors, clean toilets, and wash and fold laundry, I don't get dressed because I'm all Donna, all the time.

[Marie-Elise]

I would love to do this. However, with a 2 year old and a wife who would probably rather not see this, it remains on my bucket list. Good for you, though. Enjoy it.

Not to mention what happened to Mrs. Doubtfire!

[Tina B.]

I am the main cook in our house, no matter how I'm dressed, but it's way more fun to do it dressed.

[suchacutie]

Tina loves to cook! We're amazed that she never makes a mess, no matter how terrifically she is dressed! Never a splash or a spill!

The wonder of all of this is that both of my gendered selves have cooked the same meal. My wife and I agree that the result is different! Not better or worse, but somehow the cooking is just not the same and the resulting meal has a bit of a different (gender) spin! We can't quite tell what is being done differently, but it's just one more thing that my gendered selves do a bit differently!

[Beverley Sims]

I don't really notice what I am wearing, those sensations diminish when you dress all the time.
I get more sensation when I have to go out in drab, to work.

[EllieOPKS]

I am still in the closet but work from home, so 1 day a week I go totally Ellie and cook/prepare breakfast, dinner and supper as well as do my ironing and any other housework that needs to be done. I am always have a warm feeling when doing "housewife chores".

[Juliea661]

Oh absolutely Darla!!!!! I do the majority of cooking at the house, but mostly in boy mode.
But when in girl mode I get into it and enjoy it even more!!!
Hugs, Jules

[RADER]

I have been the chief cook, and bottle washer around here for years.
Dong it dressed is much more fun than DAB.
I just will not wear my Maid's outfit, I do not want to get it dirty.

[ReineD]

To Darla Jean, I suspect that any activity is more pleasant when you're dressed, and it's not about the activity so much as the fact that you are dressed and feeling prettier?

[Tracii G]

I love to cook and bake no matter how I'm dressed.

[docrobbysherry]

Not a chance! When I've got pretty, sexy things I'd never want to splash tomato juice or cooking oil on them!
And, as Karren says, after spending so much time and effort getting dressed, work is the LAST THING Sherry has on her mind!


Not that I can cook well..... but that's way too much like work to me and if I'm dressed up work is the last thing I want to do ! lol

[Stephanie47]

I love working in the kitchen. However, as a child of the 1950's and 1960's it is Harriet Nelson or June Cleaver. I'm always in a pretty dress, three inch heels, hosiery, all the proper undergarments, and my wig. Of course I also have three really suitable retro bib aprons. I love baking cakes and preparing a pot of meatballs and sauce. Even washing dishes can be made into a fun event.

PS: As to the aprons, there are a few sites on eBay that sell retro bib aprons at reasonable prices that really look sharp.

[reb.femme]

I had the same experience last weekend, fully dressed and cooking all meals as my wife works shifts.
One meal was boiled potatoes, grilled chicken, snap peas, babycorns and my own basic white sauce with garlic, mixed herbs and mushrooms.....lovely!

I love doing various jobs around the house whilst dressed. It just feels glorious.

[Jessica Who]

Sounds interesting, when I cook it's usually in a t-shirt & basketball shorts :)

[Jenn A116]

I enjoy cooking now that I'm retired, but seldom do it enfemme. I'd be a bit concerned because of the synthetic fiber wig and my tendency to liking flowing clothes. Of course, cleaning-up afterward isn't quite as much fun as making the mess in the first place. :)

Have been accumulating a bunch of recipes to try. Generally I'm not a strict by-the-numbers recipe follower though. I love to try adding stuff or altering the proportions of dishes. We (wife and I) will usually cook with the basic recipe once and then I'll go off and try different things with it. My wife is much more of a "follow the recipe closely" type and sometimes there is tension in the kitchen. Fortunately after 16 years of marriage, she's learned to let go a bit and let me experiment. Sometimes she even likes the result!

[Persephone]

I was a homemaker and "carpool Mom" for fifteen years and couldn't have enjoyed a better career even though I'd had some pretty terrific careers before that.

When my spouse retired she took over many of the chores but I still cook while she prides herself on reheating.

Over the weekend I made several trays of Rice Krispy Treats because we had a gal-pal party with 25 GG's (and me en femme) and we made Candy Sushi Treats (http://www.ricekrispies.com/en_US/recipes/sushi-treats.html#/en_US/recipes/sushi-treats) as part of the fun.

Hugs,
Persephone.

I don't want to single anybody out, but when I see posts about getting dressed up in a dress, heels, etc., to cook or clean the house, I can't help but think that's at least borderline sexist.

I cook, I clean, I do the laundry, but so does my wife. We don't keep track, just whoever feels like doing it or has the time does it. I don't get dolled up to do it, I do it in whatever I'm wearing. Or like a real woman, I'll take off the pretty things and put on a house dress.

[daviolin]

Darla, we should get together for cook off. I love to cook en fem. I always prepare the evening meal for my wife, when she comes home for dinner. And I love to bake. Cooking is a great crossdressing hobby. Daviolin

[Darla Jean]

Actually when I am cooking, I dress, but not in going out clothes - My favorite kitchen dress is a sleeveless blouse and capris, with a short heeled shoe - I can really do what I need to do, without worry about the mess.

[Erica Marie]

Darla I know your feelings. I dont get to dress often but when I do I prefer the casual look. It is nice to be dresed to the 9's at times but I feel more like me in a pair of capris and a blouse. Nothing fancy just comfy and cute.

[Mickey_39]

I've noticed that on the occasion that I do get to dress when cooking I pay more attention to the whole meal. Even if I won't be dressed to get it started. Example, tonight my stepdaughter is at her dads and our planned houseguest had to back out. While I was thinking about what to suprise my wife with I found myself doing those extra little things that make the meal better but I normally pass on. Being an admitted "food prude" while en-drab so as not to mess up my nice (read: white) I gathered the hardwood for tonights bbq, made sure I had ice to chills the salad and in a few minute's I'll do what's left of the prep work and get the things that take longer started. Then I can change into my dressy but casual denim pants, the new sleepless top my wife bought for me last weekend and matching heels. Normally I'd cheat and use charcoal with a stick of wood just to add a hint of flavor, through the bag of lettuce on the counter and call it good.

Truth be told I hate cooking. That said I love eating more and bless her heart my wife can't cook at the level I can. Occasionally I still suprise her after 10 years with what I can do. About a month ago I suprised her with a morning wake up call of Caramel Turtle brownies to go with her coffee. She didn't know I could bake. Show me a cooking appliance and I'll show you how to use it. (Turbocharger down pipes included)
