I do all the cooking!
My boyfriend treats me to dinner at least once a week though

i love to cook. i grew up around food so i love experimenting in the kitchen...my boyfriend...ehhh not so much...

the one thing i do not like though is grilling things. i dont have the patience or the attention span to keep running outside to grill things so that i leave up to my boyfriend and he loves it... the bbq is his baby.

so it works out perfectly =)

I hate to say it but when my boyfriend is in town he does all the cooking! I help him of course but he does the majority of the work but he loves it so it doesn't bother him.

I'm a stay-at-home mom so I typically do most of the cooking. However, I'm not really that good at it. One of my favorite things to say when people ask me if I like to cook is, "I make a really good bowl of cereal." Hahaha. In actuality, I can make a mean chili and a pretty good chicken parm, but I'm not really into experimenting and spending hours in the kitchen. That will inevitably lead to a ton of dishes and I loathe doing dishes.

My husband is actually a very good cook (as is his dad) so when he has the time, he'll make dinner and it's always very good.

I don't really eat meals, and he can't cook (even though he thinks he can) so he usually gets take out when he wants something.

luvhouse07, I'm curious - if you don't "really eat meals", what do you eat?

I do 98% of the cooking. Every once in awhile he will cook...usually because he says he feels guilty that I cook all of the time. I don't mind it - I enjoy it! I wish he would do other chores around the house when he's feeling guilty and leave the cooking to me.

I picked other. He cooks, but not because I don't know how to. He genuinely enjoys cooking and looks forward to preparing dinner as a way to unwind from his day. I, on the other hand, don't mind cooking per se, but I rarely feel like cooking on weekdays. Since he enjoys it and I don't, he cooks almost all the time.

I do not know anything about cooking, my boyfriend does all of it. Before I met him, I had canned ravioli for every meal.

I do all the cooking. My nf has no idea what to do in the kitchen. He's an only child, so he's always had everything done for him. I'm trying to break him out of that but in the meanwhile I'll have to cook if I don't want to starve

I cook unless we go out. I stay home so I don't mind since I don't have much else to do.

and I love to try YumSugar recipes

We both cook, with him cooking more often than I do. But I'm more inspired to make yummy meals if I'm making them for both of us rather than just myself, like risotto and pork chops, etc. He does more elaborate things like steak salads and roasts.

I took care of the cooking for my girlfriends. They were very good cooks (probably better than me!) but seemed content to let me do it. They just looked beautiful and sipped wine and provided witty conversation (and occasional help). I didn't mind at all! I like cooking and the feeling of doing something practical and hands-on after a day struggling with abstractions and unresolvable problems in my profession.

(By the way, I subscribe to Martha Stewart's "Everyday Food" booklets that come every month - lots of excellent, easy to cook recipes in there. I really impressed the girlfriend with dishes from it - I pretended they were my own creations and old family recipes.)

"Sexual stereotypes in relationships are still alive and kicking no matter how hard we try to fight them."

But DearSugar, just last Friday you were proclaiming: "I’ve always thought that when a man knows he wants to propose to his lady, he should ask for her parents' permission."

Make up your mind. You can't deem certain sexist roles acceptable, or even desirable, while complaining about others.

I do all of the cooking because because I'm the one who knows how to cook. Plus, he actually enjoys washing dishes so it's a good trade off. I also like cooking and the foodie so it works out just fine.

My husband does all the cooking. He used to be a cook in a restaurant and he really enjoys it. I'll help out with chopping or stirring and I'll occasionally cook a meal from recipes, but I'm not creative in the kitchen.

I do most of the cooking, but my husband always helps -- after I tell him what to do. Then, he usually washes the dishes! He's a good man, hehe!

he does about 75% of the cooking! i like to cook but i'm usually too lazy. secretly though, i think my cooking is better.

My boyfriend does... I've even taken cooking lessons and I still suck at it!... He's naturally gifted so I let him have at it

my favourite thing about my boyfriend is..whenever I spend the night at his place...he'll wake up and make me breakfast while I am in the shower in the mornings

I do all the cooking. He only cooks (or tries to) on Valentine's Day!

My husband does all of the cooking because I'm working all of the time, and going to school full time. My life is too busy!! I'm so lucky that he cooks and cleans!!!

i do the cooking
hubby will cook every once in a while
actually when we first got married he was doing the cooking cuz i didnt even know how to fry an egg. but now that i've mastered a few dishes, and have yet to learn some new things, AND i've been home, its been me.

Usually my bf cooks dinner because I get home from work late from anywhere between 6:30 and 8:30 at night so when I get home dinner is already made or almost finished and we can eat and then relax together after. But when I do get home early or if I get home before him I make dinner.

We pretty much just take turns but he does most of the cleaning around our house too, but he is also just home more, he owns his own business and sets his own hours and work days.

I do all the cooking. If I don't cook then he takes me out to eat because he doesn't cook at all, unless it's eggs haha.

I'm still cofused on the comment that said "I dont eat meals"

We basically do all of our cooking together. Its more fun that way..The only thing I dont cook is mashed potatoes because if I did they wouldn't even come close to comparing to his!

My boy doesn't let me cook unless we're at my house! We had a bit of a tiff over it, because sometimes I feel as though he just prefers his cooking to mine. Granted, he's a great chef. But a bit of a control freak in the kitchen too!

I'd love to say that I do my fair share of the cooking but he cooks far more often than me. I'll whip out a fancy meal every now and again (he'll do the mundane ones like stir fries and curries) and he loves my cooking so it's fine.

I'm sick right now though so I've been treated to... chips? tonight.

We both cook when we're together, which, unfortunately, isn't very often.

Before my ex moved out, he did most of the cooking. He just enjoyed it more.

I do most of the cooking. I'm pretty good at it, and my meals are tasty, low-fat, and nutritious. Hubbie is not as good as combining all those factors.

we merged recipes when we moved in together. when i wasn't working i cooked all the time. now that i work and he gets home before me--he cooks 'his' recipes and "easy" stuff-- (like...tacos). but then ill cook on weekends and all "my" recipes.

We don't live together, but when he's hanging out at my apartment and I want him to cook, he'll make those already-made pastas that you just have to boil and microwave (or some other dishes he saw his mom make). I don't mind. He says he'll try more dishes once he gets some recipes. For the past two years, he's lived in the dorms, so when he gets an apartment this upcoming school year, I'm going over every night he cooks. He says his roommates and him are going to trade-off on cooking every night, so...We'll see.

We only see each other 2-3 times a week, less during the summer, but we usually end up eating out two meals every time. I eat out for all my meals, and he gets lazy, too.

the girl who said she doesn't eat meals is like me. i can't sit in front of a huge plate of food- it's intimidating and i lose my appetite (its trauma from my euro grandma who would stuff me to the point of vomiting). i'm a 'picker' i have to pick at things it's the only way i can enjoy food. for me food tastes better i'f i'm picking off someone's plate, off the stove or from leftovers. WEIRD ODD and i should be on ripley's believe it or not.

otherwise, where i live in euroland women are expected to do all the kitchen work, cleaning, cooking putting things away. my man doesn't even bring the plate to the sink. he just gets up like in a restaurant. it's not his fault. his mother raised him along the euro norms. it's not that bad tho. i like all the kitchen control- as soon as someone starts meddling near my station i freak.

My husband's cooking is famous among all of his friends, and he used to cook elaborate, creative meals for me all the time when we were dating. As soon as we said "I do" - all those kitchen skills were forgotten! Now I do all the cooking. I had to learn fast!

Oh, my favorite kitchen rule: Ye who cooks does NOT clean. Ye who eat, get on your feet.
