What if your wife can't cook, and you can't cook either?

Nobody is born knowing anything. Both spouses can learn how to cook, starting from easy dishes like pasta or even cooked rice or potatoes. Some potatoes with a salad (can´t be easier) is a good meal. Maybe a good way to lear is to "play" at cooking together in weekends. They can make big batches for the week if they both work. Recipes online are usually step by step, with pictures and voices. Cooking from scratch is healthier and money goes a long way.

If both husband and wife doesn't know how to cook.I suggest to buy cookbook or at least take a cooking lessons to enhance their learning before they try to cook using cook book

Taking a cooking class together might be an option. That way we could learn the basic things together and meet other people at the same time. If we didn't have the money for a class like that we could buy a cook book or look for easy recipes on the internet. Sometimes it is fun to experiment with something new and maybe we could turn our lack of cooking skills into a interesting challenge instead of a problem, especially if we helped eachother and did it together.

If i meet this situation,i will do this.If we have enough money,we can employ a servant to help us in daily life cooking.If we have not enough money in daily life,we can learn the cooking method from other people,and then we can do this well

I've been in this situation before, I don't know how to cook and my husband used to eat in restaurant and it's a problem since both of us leave the house to work. We decided to work it out, I took time to lean simple dishes and soon it's not a problem anymore. I can cook now,and my husband loves all of my dishes and even compliments me that I am a good cook! A talent and skill I never knew I have.

hi, my cousin is like that, she never know how to cook and even her husband, but they have no choice for that, so still they have to learn in whatever way to. so now both of them have knowledge about cooking.

I can't imagine not being able to cook. I belong the the generation were the men were supposed to go out to work and the women did all the housework and cooking - so I was never tought to cook either at school or by my mother. I tought myself out of books and by asking advice from my mother from time to time. I regard it as a basic life skill that should be tought to all children.

I think it would be a miserable life for a couple to know nothing about cooking. But why keep a miserable life when cooking could be learned? I believe anyone can learn this task provided one is willing and ready to take the responsibility. So in a situation when both do not know how to cook, I think the wife should be the one to take the initiative to learn. A wife should be able to serve his husband good food because the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach. If you can't feed your husband well, chances are his love for you will grow colder. When I got married, I don't know cooking either but out of my desire to be a good wife, I did my best to study on my own. I asked the help of my mother and my sisters, and I consulted books. Now, I am perhaps the best cook to my husband and he loves me even more today.

First, it is the duty of the wife to do the cooking. It is never a responsibility of the husband unless the husband enjoys cooking or he cooks better than the wife. If the wife cannot cook, well she better learn how to before her husband finds someone who can can cook for him. The best way through a mans heart is through his stomach..remember?

Well, if neither can cook, you have a dilemma. But its not as bad at it may seems. Cooking can be a rewarding experiences. It is an art. One creates. Start calling family members that know how to cook. While many may not want to come to your house to cook for you, I am sure they would not mind explaining how to prepare this or that over the phone. It not really that difficult to cook if you really want to. There must be something you and your wife know how to cook. Start there and work your way up. lol. I am a very good cook so if you need some pointers, just send me a message.

I think that the best way is to talk to your wife that it is the obligation of a woman to cook for her husband and she should make an effort to learn how to do so by self study or in cooking schools. You could quote the old saying that you would surely be loved if the stomach of your lived one is always satisfied.

i will keep maid or i will try to cook for one or 2 days in aweek

This is why they invented microwaves and instant meals. I can't cook so it's this and things that don't need to be cooked. If it is really a problem for you there's plenty of resources to learn. No it's not going to be quick and may be inedible the first time around but if you really want to cook you have to make mistakes to learn.

well,that will be a big tough job for both of yours .it's a piece of cake to get it.firstly,you can learn how to cook from your parents,or most of best friends. it's easy to learn cooking.if you are rich enough,you can have a nanny.anyway.at times,it's dangerous for yours.if the nanny were scolded by yours ,maybe he would kill your couples by some terrible means you should learn how to cook.also both of yours can cook yummy food for each other.even for your parents,your kids ,your friends.do it .i believe in both of yours are the best ...

If neither spouse is handy in the kitchen, this can be a dilemma at meal time. You could consider finding someone to do your cooking for you. Otherwise, it looks like you may be dining out quite often and that can get expensive in time.

i am a wife and i couldnot cook in our first year. my husband also didn't force me to cook. but i was uncomfortable because i want serve my husband with my own cook and dishes. so i tried to learn how to cook by asking my mother and my mother inlaws. it is not a big problem because i can cook now. i think if there is a will, there will be a way.

Yes, the best solution is to learn how to cook, for both husband and wife. Just as you said that a family cannot eat out every day, unless there is a cheap food vendor where you can buy the dishes. For Asian where the main food is rice, we can cook the rice at home using a rice cooker (no one will fail) and buy the foods or dishes at the cheap vendor or catering.

I would hope to have known this before I married so that can set a plan and goals on how we both can learn together.

That's possible. But that's very rare for a couple to settle each other if they both know they don't cook. But things can be learned somehow, should they really wanted to survive. or get a cook.

No school will not only unwilling to learn, as long as you try harder,will soon be cooking, not to mention or routine matter.the beginning of the cooking quality requirements should not be too high,just eat on the line,speculation more,slowly getting to cook with high experience.
