My Wife's A Terrible Cook

[greathusband54]

We’ve been together for almost a year now. She’s great, she cleans and does all the house chores while I work. The only problem with her is that I really cannot stand her cooking, and I don’t have the heart to tell her. She likes to cook a lot of traditional chinese dishes. It’s not that I’m attacking their culture or anything but it doesn’t really appeal to me. But when she starts cooking she just looks so happy and content so I eat it anyways. Sometimes I come home late from work because I’d stop by Arbie’s or something just to eat something at least edible to me. How should I break the concern to her?

Why didn't you date someone from your own culture?

To answer your question either get used to it or have a talk with her that maybe she learns some of your type of food to do the cooking. Or for that matter why don't you cook every once in awhile and show her make it a date night type of thing.
Or what you want is a live in maid, cook, sex slave? the typical (Mail order bride) oops I mean dating tour bride

Tell her about your favorite dishes, that you would really like to have some of those, I am sure she will be happy to prepare it for you. At some point you have to tell her you would like her to cook things you like...

You need to teach her how to cook or send her to a catering school where they will teach her how to cook.

[TeeDee]

Sign up to take a cooking class together. Also ask your other relatives if they will cook with her. She may not know how to prepare your favorites. Watch some cooking shows together.

Why don`t you cook for a change?
Can`t really bitch about the food being served to you when you don`t ever return the favour.

Or just have an honest conversation with her. You don't have to be a dick, you suck at cooking! You can just tell her that it isn't your favourite style and that it is very different than what you grew up with and therefore aren't as comfortable and familiar with the foods.

But honestly, try cooking a meal for yourself and for her some time.
