Mine can make omelets, grits and hot wings, and that's pretty much it. I keep thinking I should teach him how to cook just in case something happens to me...I feel like E would be eating frozen pizza otherwise.

Yep, he's pretty good at it too. I'm sure your husband can cook more than most buys though.

DH is a pretty good cook but doesn't have the opportunity to cook often with his work schedule. Lately I've been trying to teach him how to prep and cook some of the meals I make so that he can prepare them for LO if something happens to me (more or less the chaos of taking care of a newborn once the baby is born).

He can cook a few things. We make totally different things, too. Like....he always makes some kind of chicken curry, with just whatever ingredients we have around---served with either rice or roti.
I hardly ever make curries...I tend to make more "american" things--casseroles, pasta dishes, a meat +2 sides, etc.

He probably can cook, but he has never cooked while I have been home or for me.

Hubby makes a mean rice porridge, eggs, and spaghetti! Otherwise, not so much. Oh, and he's fantastic on the grill if I marinate/season the meat first.

He does almost all of the cooking I make up for it by making breakfast and desserts

He can not! Makes eggs, and pancakes from a mix. I kinda feel responsible because I've literally cooked every dinner since we moved in together, so he's never really had a chance to upgrade his bachelor skills of heating frozen pizza.
We're about to start TTC though, and he said a few days ago "who's going to cook when you feel really sick, and when you're really huge?" haha. So at least he's thinking about it, and has asked to me start teaching him! Should be fun...

Yep! He has been doing more if it lately too while I feed/ watch R. We finally got a grill so we have been grilling a ton!

He bakes better than he cooks but that is just due to frequency. Either way, he has a few defaults he cooks and bakes and after that he gets fast food.
papaya / 10473 posts
Yes! I love it. We don't have the same opinions on what we should eat - I tend to lean healthier - but I really appreciate it when he cooks. He also has killer baking skills.

yep he can cook, used to cook for me all the time during our courting/wooooooooooing phase.
now we're married and he takes too long, so i cook most of the time.
(aren't we so romantic?!) hehe

Yep. For awhile, while I was pregnant and when A was a newborn, he cooked almost all the meals. Now it's split up. I usually cook a couple and he cooks a couple each week.

He's not a chef or anything but he can follow directions in a recipe. He doesn't have any real intuition in the kitchen though, aside from strictly following directions, so he's always amazed when I make little changes to recipes, haha. I still do most of the cooking, or we cook together, because I enjoy it.
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
Yup, and he loves to. He's actually more adventurous when it comes to cooking than me. Because of him we have made homemade pizza, pasta, sausage, smoked ribs, pulled pork, jerky, pho and the list goes on and on.

Yes, he can, and he does it pretty well and is experimental, too. However, he totally over-seasons EVERYTHING, so I am trying to teach him that sometimes it's best to let the flavor of the actual food shine through and not just the flavor of the millions of spices he puts on.
GOLD / cantaloupe / 6581 posts
Yep, he is WAY better a cook than I am, plus he enjoys it! Breakfast is his main thing, and holy cow does he make it well! He also makes lasagne from scratch (including the noodles), and his own tortillas. The only issue I have with him is that he is SO picky that he doesn't like things like steak, seafood, etc. I know he'd be awesome at making things like that, but he won't eat it!

Literally nothing. Nothing...doesn't even know how to work a coffee machine or oven.
If I were sick then LO and him would still eat well; they'd eat out or at my parents' or his parents' house. Ugh...he will never want to or get any urge to cook. He's 31.

He can cook some things..... but he doesn't. He cooked for himself in college occasionally, but when I met him he was eating out all the time so I just took on the cooking.

DH is a great cook. He is great with detailed cooking. He cant however look for things we have in the house and make something from that.
blogger / coconut / 8306 posts
My husband is a far better cook than I am, unless its Italian food. I make better pasta dishes in our household, but I've got to give him credit for everything else!
pomelo / 5469 posts
Yes, he can cook most things I can... only he does it so rarely that when he offers I have to have a quick run down of the recipe and process with him so I'm sure he knows what he's doing. There have been times he forgets to chop up potatoes before boiling or measures completely the wrong amount of pasta for spaghetti for example.

My husband can cook quite well if he's following a recipe. He doesn't have the ability to just pull things out of the fridge and create a meal. That's my specialty.
wonderful grape / 20453 posts
He can cook alright-he's good at grilling! And if I set a recipe out, he can follow it. Five years ago, he could hardly make anything, so he would help me and I would teach him stuff. Now I feel like our kids wouldn't live off grilled cheese and pancakes if I were out of town

He cooks the majority of our dinners and is an excellent cook! He likes to always follow a recipe, which bugs me because he wont improvise or scale down for 2 people. But, I don't really have room to complain, so I don't!!
coconut / 8483 posts
yeah! he is pretty good. i cook more usually, but every time i ask him to be in charge of dinner he does a good job and usually makes something I never do (home made chicken fingers, buffalo chicken wraps, etc).

DH cooks on the grill. But other than that, no. He tries though.
