Re: Issue of Cooking !!
so disturb angel, once u get married who do u think would be doing the cooking otherwise?
you, your husband, your MIL? a cook?
just because someone is professional does not mean that other family responsibilities end do they?
Now I assume you are in pakistan, and the family culture there varies greatly based on social groups etc etc.
as far as as your nand using shan maslaa etc, she is cooking for her husband who is from a diff family.
what I would honestly suggest is that you do learn to cook, even if it is on weekends. and ocne u get married spend some time with your MIL learning to cook what your husband likes.
now, that being said, i find their approach as you have stated rather offputting and oafish to say the least.
