Cooking fear

haha.. ditto thaz wot i was thinkin.. just cus he knows cookin dusnt mean she shudnt worry abt it. ultimately its her job to feed the family. he cant cook everyday

whats so lagaye bhujaye in it? where does it say that a woman HAS to cook for her husband especially if he can cook well? I am not asking her not to cook ever, I am just telling her not to worry about it too much.. they are not going to starve!

ng? cooking is not interesting but the question you have asked is undoubtedly amazing :hehe: so next question please

@ mall, the case is not all about getting expert :frowning: I feel bored when I am cooking, my husband says that I am a good cook (might be appreciating). whatever I made , even if it turns out to be something outclass tab bhi I can’t eat. (shayad pakatay huye hi dil bhar jata hai) :s

anyway finally I have realized that it’s not my thread :stuck_out_tongue: so I better keep quiet.

Would you give same mashwara to a guy who is asking "oh ... my wife to-be is making 80k yearly, I am wondering how can I get good job?" ...will you say to him ...well SHE is earning good...why do you worry? You dont have to worry at all...

will u say this?

NOOOOOOOOOOO ... he will be asked to get "stable" before getting married and so on..

aww thaz a pity… i think its not healthy that u dun eat ur own food.. many times i dun like mine too but majority of times i eat it. i think its abt motivation. maybe u feel ur hubs is just sayin to make u happy. sit down and ask him if he really likes ur cookin and cook dil se.. i swear cookin CAN b fun.. its all abt experimenting. u fall u get up and u learn.. u dun just lay there on the ground. i think ur self esteem is low abt ur own food… its not gonna b gud for future.. ab shadi hogayi hai so u will cook only so u HAVE TO get used to ur cookin some day or another.

awwww… you are sooo sweeet mall for giving these lovely advices!!! So good to know that there are girls who are now on the way to be expert cooks and i’ll be there one day!!
I’ll definitely try not to rely on shan, my mum only uses shan for biryani.

Main ap ko abhi hi duaein day rahi hoon :hug:

It is a big deal. I wouldnt like my husband to do all the cooking everyday. I would very much like it when im not feeling well, have overtime etc. I find it cute when men cooks once in a while.

yay…u go girl!!! my pleasure dear.. thx for the duahs :wink: dun worry, take it slow and steady.. nobody learnt from their mother’s womb!! keep tryin.. it mite take u atleast 2 yrs or more before ppl can actually strt appreciating ur efforts.. but it will b worthwhile in the end trust me! :slight_smile:

Re: Cooking fear

It will happen.

I was NOT into cooking or even stepping into the kitchen at one point but I learned and now enjoy it because it can actually be fun when you're cooking for your own family.

One trick when you're working is cooking double the amount sometimes and freezing half of it for a day when you are just too tired or exhausted to cook. My mom does that and she always has back up in case we have been out all day or she hasnt been home to cook.

married girls or to be married soon......

just a quick question

if your already married did u know how to cook before getting married or u picked it up after marriage?

those girls who are getting married soon......do u know how to cook?

Re: married girls or to be married soon......

I'm married.. Cooked a little before getting married - just pasta/stir fry etc. Didn't do much when I lived with inlaws but now in our own place I'm picking it up quite well. Getting recipes from friends, family and online and enjoying trying things out. It's not that hard! Washing/ironing/cleaning is the biggest pain!

Re: married girls or to be married soon......

im getin married in may...and learning to cook now...ive been practicing since i had my nikkah....its not as bad as it looks..

But does it taste any good?

Re: married girls or to be married soon......

i don't think cooking is hard ... just ask people around for good recipes or look em up online and after a while u get the hang of all the good recipes and u can manipulate a couple to ur taste

Re: married girls or to be married soon......

I am married, I knew how to cook before marriage and mastered it after getting married and finally if it matters or not, I am a guy :)

Helped my mom in my teenage in making snacks, salads, presentation etc ....got into main course once moved to USA and living alone and finally pulled it all together after getting married with the help of my wife. My wife now calls me "endangered specie" i.e. a guy who loves cooking :D

Re: married girls or to be married soon......

cooking has never made me worried. i know it comes with practice. I know how to cook basic n traditional dishes, but i dont cook much as i live alone.

Re: married girls or to be married soon......

paijee, yes it turns out really good THANK GOD...before when i started some stuff turned out too spicy and sometimes burnt ...but its gettin better with time and practice lolz

Re: married girls or to be married soon......

heheh.. i opened up a similar thread by the name of "cooking fear" a week ago i guess... I'm getting married in March and cant cook so well. I'm working on it, hope i can learn to cook some dishes which he likes.

Re: married girls or to be married soon......

i know the basics of cooking and have cooked a bit in the past. finally shacking up with the hubby in feb or march. i thought i'd spend my time off at xmas to practice a bit more but haven't.
guess i will do that when i actually have to and hubby will have to eat my practicing. i can cook basic salans and dahl etc. pretty good with non-desi stuff such as quiches, lasagna, pies etc. i practiced stuff like pakoras during ramzan. i tried out one or two recipes from GS, which came out good. so i'm hoping i can just do that and things will be okay and i will improve over time. like i've never made kabab's from scratch but i know how to make them so i'm hoping with a recipe for amounts, they should come out fine.

the only thing that freaks me out is roti and paratha. i can't make them well at all :'(

Re: married girls or to be married soon......

im not married or getting married any time soon but iv been cooking since the past yr or so. i actually find it quite relaxing and enjoy cooking. it becomes easier to make new things and blend recipes once u get the hang of the basics
