His mom doesn't cook that much or she makes basic things like casseroles. I tend to do more elaborate things so he enjoys my cooking more. Yay!

She bakes more than cooks and he doesn't like it when she tries to tweak recipes so I know what you mean about the tradition part!

I've asked my husband this and he prefers my cooking because I experiment more. During any given week, we may eat something Italian, Tex-Mex, German, Spanish, Asian. His mother's cooking is very plain in comparison.

MIL is a great cook, but she's more of the cook for hours/traditional family recipe cook and I'm the innovative/efficient cook :P... For the most part, DH likes my cooking because both of us have very similar, diverse palettes (whereas MIL cooks traditional All American dinners). He also likes spicier food than she tends to flavor her recipes. We both love her recipes, but cooked a bit more to our tastes and al dente ness... (she overcooks veggies, etc.)

I think he likes mine more, but his mom didn’t do the majority of the family cooking growing up, his dad did (luckily for me!). She does have a few traditional Mexican recipes for rice and fideo that she has showed me how to make, but when I make them they pale in comparison to hers – so in the case of those dishes, we both prefer her cooking!

DH loves a couple of dishes his mom makes, but he loves my cooking too.

Ha, hell no. I love my MIL, but she does not cook. We have a running joke that if I get take out for dinner, I ask him if it tastes just like him moms.

DH has actually told me he likes my cooking better than his mom's. His mom is a good cook, but she doesn't like things very spicy and cooks mostly traditional American food. I use lots of spices and cook a wide variety of types of food. I think we're both good cooks, just very different styles.

No. There are some things that she makes that I don't make, but he loves what I make. Plus, I bake and they both love that. lol

Hubs misses his mom's cooking, sadly. It's because she cooks all the typical Cantonese foods he's used to and grew up on. I don't cook any of that...Especially the Chinese green veggies. Oh well!

MIL isn't much of a cook. Neither am I but I think DH prefers my cooking.

No question - DH prefers my MIL's cooking over mine - she is an awesome cook! I prefer her cooking to mine, too!

There are a few things he suggested I get his grandma's recipe for. But both me and his grandma cook as a hobby (she could run a food blog, but she's too busy growing her own herbs in a spectacularly landscaped yard. I want to be her when I grow up.) His mom only cooked simple stuff, since she had 5 kids all with different tastes. In fact, he worked at a sandwich shop FOR the free food! He loves my cooking, provided I include enough meat, cheese, or fish.

My MIL isn't much of a cook, DH definitely prefers my cooking! I actually just asked him if he likes her cooking better and he burst out laughing. Haha.

We have never talked about it. His mom was more of a home maker type, and I make him do his share in the kitchen though, so he might prefer the taken care of aspect of his Moms cooking, as opposed to me who always makes him help me out.

He likes mine more. I'm more adventurous than his mom because his dad will not eat anything different. Seriously, I made a pasta salad one day at his parents house. I put hard boiled eggs in it. His dad came in the house and said, "ugh, what's that smell?? " That's the last time I ever cook anything for him. Thankfully, my husband lives that pasta salad.

I think he likes his mom's cooking more, she's a "farmer's" wife cookers, and uses whole creams and all that fatty good stuff, where as I usethe fat free/low fat stuff. I also make casseroles and his mom does not, they were a meat and potatoes kind of family.
