Why is it so hard to find a girl who loves to cook nowadays?

I have been in a number of relationships and the one I'm in now has lasted the longest. This girl loves to cook. When she moved in she brought over all her pots and pans, cookbooks, kitchenAid appliances etc. I have never heard of a crock pot before, I've seen one just never knew it was called that. Anyway out of all the others she has been the only one that can and loves to cook. Why? What happened to or ladies? I used to do most of the cooking in the past. It's nice to be told get out of the kitchen at let the master take over.

Update:

She is a middle school math teacher, volleyball, basketball, and track coach. She makes more money then me as well. If I could describe her as an animal it would be a bee, she's a busy bee. She doesn't cook everyday but when she has time it's what she loves, like her hobby.

Update 2:

I'm not thinking of other girls, I would be stupid to let this girl get away. I'm just worried about our culture and society. What happens when there are no girls like her left?

Update 3:

@Nell That's what I'm getting at, the art of cooking is slowly being lost. I personally never learned either, but I just experimented a lot when I lived on my own. Believe me I failed more times the I succeeded. Even though we have food network and the cooking channel having to buy ingredient for one special dish is not practical.

    More and more women want to have their own careers and want to be business women. They don't have time for things like "cooking" and "cleaning". I for one, love to cook! :)

    I couldn't answer you why but i think the previous comments are correct. People are just to busy these days, they are also less and less sitting down to have dinner as a family because everyone has different schedules. I don't like this, i love cooking even after a long day of work, i find it to be my relaxing time for just me. I find not only is it cheaper then buying take-out all the time it is also healthier which is really what we need these days with the ease of fast food and how bad it really is for you.

    I think more woman should to their best to make time to cook, even if it is throwing something is a slow cooker for the day while you are at work. It takes minutes to prep and cooks all day while you are at work and then is done when you get home. As for every other meal (because of course you can eat stew and pot roast every night) try prepping things on the weekends, maybe taking an hour of two out of your saturday or sunday and prepping dinners that you can put in the freezer and then pull out and cook when you get home(or your spouse or one of your older children can), These are easy ways to make home cooked meals without standing over the stove from the moment you get home.

    Because cooking is hard work and nobody appreciates the effort that goes into it. Just so much easier to go out to restaurants or pick up take out food.

    Dude, you still thinking of other women? You had enough experience already and now know that this girl is good for you. Stop wondering why girls don't cook now-a-days and be stable with this girl, who cooks for you.

    you better hold onto her ! there,s not too many out there that,s like her. it,s not very seldom you hear that a woman likes to cook these days. they rather have you to take them out to eat then cook at home. my girlfriend that i live with is the same way, she loves to cook the old fashion dishes. if she is not working, she,s working.
