i hava a friend and she like cooking very much. she always invite us to come to her house can cook foods for us.
to be frankly i am happy that her generosity and cook for us, but i need to say that her cooking skills are too bad i really donot like the foods she cooked.
i want to be frankly to her but i really worried about that once i told her i will lost the friendship between us.
so what can i do and is it right to told her the truth.

Oh...Don't do that...You should taste that food for her and encourage her to do it in a good manner..You can help her for making that and give her a small tips that helps to make the foods yummy taste....The small tips will be followed by her cooking and her cooking will become great...You should help and talk to her...Don't compare her cooking with others..That'll make her sad..So participate with her and give her some tips about her bad cooking and realize her about your tastes...And She will surely change her ways...Thank you friend...

Don't say anything. I had a friend who wasn't the best cook, but she thought I loved her cooking until her dieing day. It made her happy so I am happy. There are a few foods that I am really picky about, like pastas, and people don't do it right,so I tell folks that I only eat my own ... They aren't insulted because it's not personal. I won't order it in a restaurant or eat it anywhere but home. That makes me the one with the problem, not them.

That is a hard thing to do... If she likes cooking so much, then maybe you could buy her a cook book that has some of the kinds of food that she likes to make or that you like to eat. Tell her "You are always so nice to us and have us over to eat so many times that I wanted to get a gift for you! So since I know you love cooking so much, I knew this was the perfect gift to give you! I hope you like it!" and then say "there is this one recipe in here on page ___ that I would love to try, but I'm not so good at trying new things. Do you think you could help me make this sometime?" and smile real big! :) Be sure you have looked in the cook book first and found a recipe that you would like and remember the page number, so when you tell her this you can turn right to that page. Hope this works! :)
