Can the wife beat your mum's cooking, need she even try.....

[QueenBee]

I think I shouldn't even try. My sister-in-law cannot cook anything. Lucky for her, my mum hated cooking so she made us do it as soon as we could reach the stove. How does your wife's culinary efforts compare to your mum's. Ladies, are you a better cook than his mum?

[Gargamel]

Mrs Garg far better than My dear old deer. For one thing she doesn't boil the veg for five hours before serving.

Difficult to compare their best efforts, as I would say both are great cooks, however in the day to day meals, then the present wife wins hands down.

They're both crap, that's why I do the cooking

Do you live in Australia or in space. Your meal seems to be defying gravity, or perhaps it's stuck to the plate.

Same here.

My mother used to be a good cook, but as teenagers it all went to pot. We noticed that she did not look at cooking times and basically guessed. She was at one point a home economics teacher.

Wife is therefore better...

Which is why she has put you both on a diet.

There is no woman in my life and if I found one and she cooked me a meal that stuck to the plate when it was held upside down she'd be out.

[Petrol Only]

Nope, but I'm better than both of them.

[Grandpad58]

My Mum and Dad then my eldest sister ,then my youngest sister, not my elder brother.

I try, as I have love for cooking,(my son is a chef as well} has the passion.
As for the wife , well if you want a good roast dinner with all the trimmings she's a good one.

You and me both.

[littlegreenfairy]

I am a competent cook, but nothing is like my mum's cooking. I wish I was as good as her.

[sc0tt]

My mum could burn a tin of beans
My missus is pretty decent 9 out of ten times.

I am a culinary god.

[HTP99]

My mum rarely cooked and if she did it wasn't great, because of my dad's shift work and my mum working strange hours I learned to cook for myself from a relatively early age thus I'm pretty good at it.

I do most of the cooking at home and a vast majority is from scratch; I have a very comprehensive spice and herb collection, and I really enjoy doing it; even if it usually means we eat later than the norm as I cook when I get home from work, the wife doesn't have the concentration to cook and doesn't really enjoy doing it either.

Same here. Took me a long time to get into the idea of cooking for 1 or 2 people rather than 4 to 6 after I left home.

My mother in law runs a catering business. I don't even try!

One of my many theories about humanity imparts certain facilities on men who like to cook in their households. I believe they also like to fish and delaying gratification is not a problem for these indulviduals, good qualities.

I am and excellent eater, easily pleased but very spoilt with a Mum and Missus who are both great cooks. I am blessed and a bit overweight.

Mums' best for French or Italian cooking or anything from a cook book. The missus is best for knocking up something lovely from whatever is to hand, Eastern cooking and probably beats Mum on the Sunday dinner, shhh.

[Backtobasics]

My mum worked for a large confectioners and made cakes for the queen on quite a few occasions (she actually traveled with the queen on her train a few times merrily baking away), my wife gives it a good go, but my mum was great at cooking. (its times like this that I wish i'd payed more attention to the stories)
