Were you a good cook before you got married?

No!NO!No!I didnt even know how to boil water before I got married,lol.My husband actually taught me how to cook because when we first got married he did all the cooking.Now I am a pro and can cook better than him,lol.

I was a better cook ten years ago than i am now because i dont really enjoy cooking anymore. I used to love trying new recipes and doing lots of home baking and it was appreciated then - I think that makes a difference.

Before marriage my mom never allowed us to cook, we had this very noisy pressure cooker with its weight bursting then and now distanced me from the kitchen, gradually after marriage you have to survive on your own, husband has to work, I was there at home, the very first day he bought me a new pressure cooker, showed me the techniques and taught me the basic of cooking. so I started from basic cooking to mastering the desserts now. I am confident now to cook for a party of 20 guests. I gather info from cooking websites, basically all my mothers tested receipes . Lastly my husband still cooks for me when I really get bored of cooking.:) bye

My dad was a soldier and when he retired he opt to stay home, run the farm and took care of us while mom is teaching in school. He is a good cook and he taught me to do housechores and how to run the kitchen when I was 10 years old. As we get older and mom and dad is off for vacation, I cooked for my sibling and when I left home to work, I already know some of the common recipes and delicacies. Maybe this is one of my traits that my hub cherished lol! Now I'm already a mom to my 3 daughters and 1 son. I see to it that they know how to run the kitchen as well. My eldest daughter is in her junior high and she already knows how to bake, spaghetti, salads and she's a big help when we are celebrating birthdays and other ocassions at home. I guess parents must be the first people to influnce the kids to learn how cook:) happy posting!!

i was a good cook before i got married. i took home ec every year of highschool except one and that was because i couldn't fit it into my schedule! I don't know what it was but I just liked cooking so much I was hooked. Ofcourse it didn't hurt that the teacher was super nice and I was the teachers pet. My husband is glad I can cook because he hates to cook. His poor brother got stuck with a wife who doesn't cook. I've offered to teach her but she hasnt taken me up on it yet.

Yes!!!
I have improved my technique and I make a more wide variety of foods, but I have always been good at cooking.
I watched Mom and started cooking meals at about eleven. My first meal was not too much of a success- Spanish rice that got scorched because I didn't turn the heat down. But my dad ate it and didn't say a word.
I love cooking and could not imagine my life without it. At Christmas my sis her kids Gwen and me always did Cookies and I also make baked goods for friends for Christmas.
Cooking has just always come very easy to me.

I was a lousy cook beore I got married, and I am a lousy cook now!! LOL My husbad does all he cookig i our house.

Starting at age 10, I watche4d my Mom cooking in the kitchen. Whenever I asked if I could help, she'd either say "Yes, stay out of my way" or tell me to set the table. I asked her to write down recipes, which she did. I tried to watch the ingredients, how to prepare, mix, etc. Then when she got so ill she couldn't cook, Dad had to take over, showing me how while he made the meals from "scratch." In fact, he earned a living as a cook and sandwich man. But it was not until I got married that I actually did any real cooking. However, now I mostly buy frozen dinners, and on the weekend we either go out or I'll prepare a dinner from "scratch." I used to invite family and friends for supper, but now I can't handle more than myself, my hubby, and Dad (who is too sick now to do much of anything.) I tend to sit and watch TV while food is in the oven or on the burner, then forget. I either underbake or overbake, Once in a while my two men tell me it was a good meal. But, nobody ever got sick from my cooking!

hi dear i had never cooked before marriage nothing at all...all i could make was Maggi Noodles and egg...we actually survived on that the first month slowly my sweet neighbour taught me some dishes to cook she was my inspiration..my mom is a very good cook so i never needed to cook at all before marriage..now i have even learnt a lot from my mom and can cook a lot many cusines..

Actually, I enjoyed cooking before I was married so yes, I was a decent cook. I feel that my husband would say that I am better today than I was at that time. However, I have to say that I enjoy cooking and I believe that helps out a lot.
