The standards have evolved from being a pure feminine obligation that only a female knows how to complete, to more a hobby that is open for both sexes. Often times the famous chefs are males. There are numerous cultures out there with very different styles of cooking, so naturally all the styles have been shared. Starting at traveling by words, to being written down and later on mass produced with the introduction of the printing press, now there are numerous blogs devoted to food.  Each blog offers something different, with the internet there isn't anything that is kept from anyone who just dares to look a little.

For example in the Serious Eats blog they write about Chili’s and their new release of their pizza, “To be fair, there is a reason Chili's has met with success; whatever can be said about the quality or creativity, their product is consistent and has a broad appeal, with a menu that includes hamburgers, tacos, and fajitas. What it appears they've done now is to have taken parts of that menu, put them on round pieces of bread with some cheese, thrown them in an oven and called them pizzas.” It is always reassuring that someone out there that can critic the food so perhaps you will know if you want to go there or not.
