He'll find out when she's on her own. I didn't think my kids paid
much attention but they did and they reproduced what they liked. DD
does identical reproductions (she was the one who showed the least
interest in cooking) and son puts his own little twist on things.

My son's wife... the one who came to us not knowing how to cook, has
blossomed into a wonderful cook herself. In fact, she confided to me
last weekend that she has always thought about being a baker. She
used to be a hairdresser, and now she's an accountant - so why not be
a baker if that's what interests her? She gets to work at 5 AM anyway
(voluntarily), so the hours won't be an issue.
