10 reasons to celebrate 'Men Make Dinner Day'

If you're not the chef of the house then for 'Men Make Dinner Day' we've whipped up 10 reasons to take part that will help you cook up a storm (although hopefully not a storm in your relationship!)

1. You have a reason to be drinking in the afternoon as you can add beer to flavour the meat.

2. You can build up some brownie points 3. You can choose to don one of these awesome hats.

4. Or wear a funny apron. 5. Or even no apron... 6. You can name recipies after yourself, 'Dave's Dish' has a nice ring to it.

7. There are cool tools in the kitchen, from sharp knives to propane torches.

8. The loud noise of blenders and extractor fans can drown out the any other noise.

9. You can leave out any ingredients you hate, goodbye sprouts!

10. A man’s best friend - cooking means you get extra attention from the dog.
