Today, we have Vilme – husband and a father, who does most of the cooking at home because he loves doing so [but of course with the help of his wife with the chopping and cleaning the dishes after meals ;)]. In most Naga homes, you will find most men helping out in the kitchen – with the chores and the cooking as well 🙂 Enjoy the cooking!
