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?
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. 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!
Mine is brilliant. Cooked for five kids and dozens of foster kids. I don't try either. He runs our kitchen. I am working on getting her to do some frozen meals for us lol. 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.
Nice. You are very lucky. Do you tell your wife that she is great? I have plenty of cookery books, maybe I should turn to them. I need to do something. He eats my food so as not to offend me. He refuses to comment too lol. 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.

My mum was a plain cook but what she did was fantastic. best yorkshire puds ive ever had, she tought me how to cook too. One thing she could not do bless her was a steak, it was always done in a medium hot pan and done for about 30 minutes until it was like the sole of a shoe . Her indoors has just about figured out how to put a ready meal in the microwave . good job i can cook.
My Mum is a great cook, she is French and went to catering college there, but sometimes comes up with very strange combinations.
My girlfriend enjoys cooking and is pretty good too, maybe not quite as good, but as she usually follows recipes, rather than free styling like my Mum she is more consistent. So its win win for me.

For knocking out regular meals for a family or 4 every day, my mum was good.
For quality of ingredients, taste, variety I top her.
I find that using quality ingredients key. I sometimes go to a place called The Food Company. Beautiful quality food. Anything from there simply steamed or grilled. The fishmonger will get you whatever you want on order. Dead or alive (for me usually crab or lobster). For quality of ingredients, taste, variety I top her.

Funnily enough I made a cassoulet with baked beans the other day as I was too far into making it before I realised I was out of haricots. 
My mother in law's cooking is unadventurous, 1950's bland, BUT safe and overcooked meat is her favourite.
My Mother's cooking is frequently adventurous, tasty, but occasionally unsafe, due to her lack of understanding of basic food hygene.
My wife's cooking is brilliant, although the overcooking of meat is one thing she's learnt.
Son (20) can turn any sow's ear into a feast. He fixed my Tarragon Chicken the other day (adding sugar to my bitter sauce.
