* In ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma ½]]'', Akane Tendo's utter inability to cook symbolizes her tomboy inner nature, despite her preference for feminine garb. The fact that she ''desperately'' wants to learn to cook is a way of showing that she ''wants'' to be more feminine, like her idolized older sister [[Yamato Nadeshiko|Kasumi]]. Ironically, [[Wholesome Crossdresser]] Ukyo's superlative cooking ability (she's a professional chef) is one indication that her inner nature is actually ''more'' feminine than dress-loving Akane.
** It's also hinted that Nabiki Tendo can't cook, and can't be bothered to try, preferring extremely expensive takeout instead. Since she is described as lacking a maiden's heart, the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of the first version of this trope seem to be out in the open.
** And of course, Ranma is also able to cook at least basic meals, despite being a boy who hates being cursed to turn into a girl. His mother (unaware that the redheaded girl is the same person as her son) once compliments "her" cooking and immediately follows up with "You'll make a wonderful wife!" simply because of this skill. Needless to say, Ranma was not amused.
