I'm the chef, DH is an excellent commis. He does all the veg prep, slicing meat, bread and grating cheese etc.

Unfortunately he can never be bothered to load the dishwasher so I'm also the kitchen porter.

My husband does all the cooking as I hate it and he was a chef. The downside is that he still thinks he is in a professional kitchen with people to wash up every pan in the house which he uses. smile

My DH is the main cook at our house. We are both 'foodies' and he enjoys the cooking more than I do and he is very good at it. I do the breakfast but the main evening meal is his department.

Now, firstly may I say that the Bodach has NEVER cooked a meal for anyone. He has no interest in food, and would happily eat the same thing every day ( plain meat/ fish and potatoes, no vegetables)

As a child, my father was the main cook. My mother did the everyday meals, but my father did weekends and high days and holidays.

When our sons were at home I still did all the cooking, but now that they have all taken wives, they've morphed into Gordon Fe**in' Ramsay!

We did laugh at how they've followed my father's " home from work" ritual of going to the kitchen, lifting pan lids, and adjusting cooker rings.
