It happened one Friday that the gaon Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund stepped into the kitchen where the Shabbos meal was being cooked.  The vapor of the dishes filled the kitchen.  Said Rabbi Moshe Aryeh: “If women knew the powerful remedies contained in the vapor of Shabbos dishes, they would not leave the kitchen all week, staying there from Sunday until Friday. ~ Zemiros Aters Yehoshua as quoted by R’ Dovid Meisels
