re: At what age did you start cooking/getting involved with food?

That has a lot to do with it. I like following instructions/less of a chance of messing up. I think baking is easier than cooking and I'm still familiarizing myself with cooking. Baking has a lot of trial & error though, especially when I've tried out Food Network recipes. Paula Deen's are terrible in terms of the measurements being accurate/I've had a lot of issues with her recipes not coming out. Ina's are more precise & I like her desserts better.

My wife and I have discussed this a lot and she thinks it because baking is more about following instructions and being precise and cooking is more about tasting, and going by feel
I agree. My BF is an amazing cook, but he mostly wings it. I am just starting to break away from baking and dabble into real dishes. It's difficult to get used to flavor combinations if you don't have an exact guide in front of you.
Also I think the presentation factor with baking lends itself more towards women. I made a batch of baby shower cupcakes last weekend with frosting and fondant.
