Caution/Danger/Warning, men cooking.
Explanation:
Hola. Estoy suponiendo que un texto bastante informal o hasta humorístico no? En ese caso te recomendaría traducir usando el "template" común en señales o signos de advertencia. Los más comunes obviamente "caution", "danger" y "warning". Los puse en orden desde el más al menos común

agree  Charles Davis: "Caution" is the most suitable, I think, but any of these would do. It's got to sound like the typical roadworks/construction site sign for the joke to work. (In the US it usually reads "men working"; in the UK it is usually "men at work".)

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: With the subtitle "Real men don't use recipes" ;) // Y vaya, es sólo que no consigo confirmar a que se refería tu papá con requechum!! :))
21 hrs
  -> Gracias, Chema. Está bien el subtítulo. Cuando mi papá cocinaba, abría la heladera y preparaba lo que él denominaba "requechum platus". En Argentina les decimos "requechos" a las sobras de comida. O sea, versión en latín de "plato de sobras".

Reference

Reference information:
In the UK, I think "Danger, men at work" is the traditional warning sign, like the one in the link.Well, it's the first thing that sprang to mind when I saw the query anyway. "Caution…" Is another option.
