She's doing the cooking. it should be what SHE likes what do you think?

so many people has cooking as hobby. some just do it cos they must eat. while some do it cos they have to feed their kids. either way, u must like it. cos u can as well get some else to do it, or buy from a fast food joint.

You have a good point there.

i think it is very sensitive of you to look into her likes and dislikes.if both of you are like this,i am sure,you both will bring out menus which will be enjoyed by the whole family.

I think most of it should be what she wants to eat also. I think she could have some side dishes to please other people though, but she should not have to go out of her wsy to make them either.

I am always cooking foods that I do not like for other people. I for instance HATE sweet potatoes, but I usually cook them for other people who like them. I say let her cook what she wants to cook. I am sure there will be plenty of stuff that she likes to eat too.

She should enjoy most of the items that she fixes. However, it is reasonable if she prepares a few dishes that she doesn't like but others who will be at the meal love.

I also think that it would be a great idea for her to reap(eat)what she sows(fixes) it takes alot of time and energy into fixing a big meal so it would be better if you both work together to select a menu that both will be satisfied with. I know I have to make some things I won't eat but I also make things that I enjoy. So it is best and she might feel better about cooking all that food if she is making things she likes as well.

If she is cooking for others, I am sure she is more worried about what others will like. Pleasing the people who are eating the food you cook is pretty much the top priority when you are cooking for others. She should however have enough to satisfy herself. Perhaps you could make something you know she loves and surprise her with that???
