Re: soooooo what do you do?
Hmm…Sara…does the person also get mad at unintentional mistakes made in OTHER areas besides cooking? IF SO…then may there’s a deeper issue…i dunno with perfectionism or inability to accept mistakes, etc.
I think you should talk to the person…ask if there are any underlying reasons that could be causing the irritation such as frustrations at work, etc. Explain that the mistakes are not deliberate and talk about what the person’s preferences in cooking and see if you can work them in. It needs to be discussed.
If the irritation is mainly confined to cooking…then you can try tasting your food in advance…if it’s not right then make something else or pick something up from outside. Try making smaller portions and see how they go. Maybe get a cookbook or tried/tested/accepted recipes, or cook together to see what works.
