The cooking wars

It is when my boyfriend and I try to cook a meal together. We try to follow a recipe and something is missing, he changes something, I question what he is doing, and/or many other side arguments that you may be able to fathom. Surprisingly since the first time we tried cooking something together we have gotten better about it, even though we are now cooking in his small apartment kitchen and still argue.
It is funny afterwards because we eat and reflect on the fact that we are not harmonious when we cook. It is also weirder in the fact that even though we know this, we keep trying (well he wants us to cook together).
Is cooking together a moment of peace and calm between you and your significant other when you cook together or do you not even try to cook together?

hi kitmurphy oh my hubby w as a cook b y trade so when I was n t cooking he was. we never cooked together as he was a professional cook and I wanted him to do it all by himself as he liked it that way. He made the best clam chowder and beef stew I ever tasted it was just heavenl . I am a widow now and before I came here to G old C rest I liked to cook and fixed new and different dishes just for me. my son worked odd hours so he ate at work so I was alone and had fun trying out different recipes

I like just trying out stuff without looking at recipes all the time when I am by myself. I have a 60% success rate may be a little more.
When we cook together he wants to work on Indian dishes lately. If he just did all the cooking without me or I just cooked things, I know things would be easier.
I hope that you are enjoying your days and wish you the best.

My boyfriend and I cook together every time we meet up. Sometimes we order out but not very often. I look for recipes online for meals that we never had before and we make them together. Sometimes we argue as well because he cooks differently then I do and i don't like the way he does most of the time. But were getting better at it and I understand he has his ways and I have mine. Sometimes if It's an easy recipe I'll do it myself and have dinner ready when he gets here.

Thanks for sharing this discussion. Glad to know that u and your boyfriend always have a great time while cooking and that spices up the moments that u guys spend together. It is always great to have some body whom u love very much by your side when u r cooking, that makes cooking more interesting.
What say?
