Mine does but not often! 
He isn't very daring in the kitchen and he makes the same stuff.

Yup! He's a great cook and way more inventive in the kitchen than I am.
-
Yes, he is really great at his cultural recipes.
-
He cooks his breakfast every morning, but other than that he pretty much only makes rice and eggs.
-
He grills
-
I am so jealous of the cooking husbands..
DH grills.. and cooks a *little bit* (breakfasts, occasional dinners) - When he is in charge of cooking.. he asks me so many questions we normally just end up cooking together. Although, he is a big help when I am cooking. I know he feels guilty for not contributing to the meals as much.
-
He does and is really good at it.
He rarely does it though, because I'm faster!
-
@Reese: when we just started dating DH was definitely just a griller. It's what the men in his family do. But cooking together became one of our favorite pastimes.
-
Do macaroni and cheese and tacos count?
-
He grills, but that's about it. His version of "cooking dinner" is getting take out, lol
-
@Ash: HA, I bought the ingredients for your fave crock pot lasagna....he is going to make it tomorrow!
-
@locavore_mama: True. I do love the time it gives us to talk and reconnect
-
Mine never makes anything! Now that we have a house I want to buy him a grill. Maybe we can learn how to grill together!
-
My husband's an excellent cook - like chef quality. It sounds good on paper but it actually sucks because he critiques everything I cook!!! Ooh darling, this needs more marjoram. Grr!
-
Ummm, no. I also do 99% of the grilling. I have seen him fry a turkey, though. And I know he knows how to smoke chicken, but it's been years since I've seen that happen.
-
@autumnlove: nom nom!
-
Not well! He grills on occasion.
-
Yes! He's really good at it, and makes most our diners.
-
Almost always. He is a great cook and I can only cook a few things well.
-
No, unless grilling on occasion counts.
-
Mine does...more often than me, actually. I can't say he's the best cook always (he insists on not following recipes, but doesn't actually have the know-how required to do this), but it takes care of dinner most nights so I'm not complaining
-
Nope! He cooked dinner for me for our first Valentine's and for my first Mother's Day, and that's it. I don't mind though - I'd rather do it.
-
only eggs and ramen! he grills though
-
She's a great cook. She makes our specialized/complicated dinners and I make simple daily meals. She makes great fried chicken, gumbo, yakamein. She will make something for me anytime I have a craving.
-
Yes, and he is an excellent cook! He taught me to cook; I was all single-girl-food before him!
-
YES thank goodness, because I don't really
He grew up in a restaurant tho, so he is very gifted & very willing to cook! I in the mean time, my skills are stuck at the college level where I cook to feed myself for the lowest cost possible!
-
Yes. He has gotten to be better than I am on certain things. His specialties are fajitas, fried chicken, omlettes, and biscuits.
-
Yes! He cooks pretty much all of the meals. I'm a terrible cook.
-
Yes! He's an amazing chef. This is totally bragging, but his bff actually works in the restaurant industry and has told me that my dh could be a chef at any restuarant if he wanted to, so I'm lucky to have him as my personal chef
He loves it, he has a blog where he writes about the meals he makes us as well as restaurant reviews and other food related stuff. My dad actually does most the cooking in my family as well, so even though it wasn't something I was explicitly looking for in a partner, I don't think I could have handled a relationship where he expected me to be the main cook--I think I needed someone who would at least split the kitchen duties with me (and I do think it's really fun to cook together, though we don't usually do that bc dh gets too bossy when we do, haha).
-
@nana87: our friends and family tell us all the time we should open a restaurant. No, thank you! Then it's no longer fun if you do it for a living. We owned a restaurant growing up and I will never do that again and esp not to our kids!
-
He cooks almost every night, and taught me everything I know! Before he came along, I could barely boil water. He's definitely still the better of the two of us!
-
Mine cooks rice porridge, spaghetti, and makes a mean egg. haha! He'll also grill if I marinade things.
-
He sure does! Before I was on maternity leave, he cooked every night. Now he will about 2 times a week.
-
yes, but not food i would consume
he can make scrambled eggs and boil pasta. he does this thing where he takes two big bags of frozen boneless chicken breasts and puts them on cookie sheets lined with foil, then puts them in a 400 degree oven and turns the oven off and leaves them there overnight or for a really long time. it's gross. he doesn't put anything on them either! gag 
-
@locavore_mama: exactly! Sometimes I think dh would be so much happier if he was cooking or running the front of a restaurant than at his job, and his bff is always trying to get him to quit his job and open one with him, but it is absolutely terrifying to me. Not just bc it is SO risky, but it would be such a different lifestyle and I don't know if I could handle it. I like having nights and weekends as our time together, esp with a lo on the way!
-
He makes great omelets and grits, but that's about it.
-
@nana87: it's just way too stressful! Sometimes it comes down more to luck than being a good cook. It's about being able to afford the right location for the food you're serving.
My dad would literally leave the house at 9am and get home at midnight. I would go work there right after school then go home after the dinner rush to do my homework. And on Fridays and Saturdays I was there till midnight along with my brothers. It's NOT a fun life!
The thought is way more glamorous than the reality. -
@locavore_mama: that does sound so, so stressful! I'm really glad the logistics of it turn dh off too, I wouldn't want to keep him from it if it was really what he wanted, but he doesn't want to give up his cushy, flexible office life either
