I'm not going to deny that SAO plays up gender stereotypes sometimes, but in this case I think it makes sense. The deal was, Kirito provides the rare ingredient and Asuna does the cooking (which she's mad skilled at). Besides - I think it was pretty clear than in SAO "cooking" really doesn't involve any work (or fun) at all.
If anything bothered me in the episode sexism-wise, it was the way Asuna hid behind Kirito when Kuradeel appeared. I could've lived without that.
