Fear of cooking = Mageirocophobia

The Fear of cooking is defined in our Phobia Dictionary as Mageirocophobia.

Savio's Notes on this Specific Phobia
In a way most grown men suffer from this phobia to some extent. Just the idea of entering a kitchen sends shivers down their spines. However it's not a real worry if you suffer from the fear of cooking. Chances are you rarely ever cook anyway.

As I said earlier men suffer more from the fear of cooking. Perhaps it has something to do with our hormones to some extent, who knows.

Phobia Treatment & Prevention according to Savio
A good way to begin treatment for people suffering from this phobia is to ask them to watch Cookery Shows on TV. A gradual dose of an hour of cookery watching that is raised to about 3-4 hours of cooking shows after a few weeks should do the trick. Also the patient's spouse should try and be with the patient as much as he or she can during this process.
