Does your husband/bf praise your cooking?

Uhhhhggg this is my husbands worst trait in my opinion lol I like to cook and make what I think is good food every damn day and he just says nothing! Or if I ask he says ya it’s good but he clearly doesn’t always love it. It drives me crazy because I want him to like it so if he was more clear about what he does or doesn’t like it would be easier. But he actually just doesn’t care about food much at all (crazy) other than Mac and cheese 🙄 his friend lived with us for a bit and always praised my cooking and said how much he appreciated it and I just wanted him to stay forever lol I need that validation!
He does. And I also tell everyone I’m cooking for, if it needs feedback then please tell me so. Lil salty? Thank you, I know for next time or I know what I did that it turned out a lil salty. I don’t get offended w feedback- makes my cooking better next time so I know how to amend it. MIL gets super offended by feedback and starts defending/justifying why it’s like that 😂 But if if it’s good he’ll actually say “what did you put in the sauce? Taste better than last time” or “can you make this meal again next week” etc he’ll actually praise me yes. And I praise him.
Not really. We like to improve recipes and tend to tag team meals (I do doughs, baking and sides while he does meat) so if I pry a bit I can get a comparrison to last time, or if anything new could be tried, or everythings great do this same thing again. I know if I want something done again I have to compliment it. Maybe in your case he just doesn't know you're looking for more?
He gives his honest opinion, some meals he loves and others might be bland or whatever. If it's a new recipe maybe it's not a keeper, or maybe I need to add something. Some meals I like more than he does, but he's still fine eating it. If he loves a meal we have out somewhere else, sometimes I'll try to find a copycat recipe. I also give him my honest opinion but he's not great at cooking but is trying so I have to tone it down sometimes 😬
Yes, all the time. I’m always insecure about my cooking and especially when others try my cooking.. Even when I wanted to try new things and I semi failed, he still lifts me up. He loves it when I cook because every time I cook, it makes him feel at home. Home cook meals from me will always win his heart 🤍
My husband gives honest feedback, but usually he loves my cooking.
Does he praise you in other areas or is he just super stingy with compliments in general? I get all the compliments which I love but I think my hubby would be honest if I cooked a rubbish meal too lol
every day :,) when i make something new he’ll say “this is better than restaurant quality” or “you gotta put gordon ramsey in his place” lol
I have a thing where if I cook for people I want them to genuinely enjoy it. So I 1.) want you to tell me what you want me to make for you 2.) I will continuously ask you if it was good & yummy or if there was something I could take notes on for next time. My partner is a “I will eat anything you put infront of me” type of dude cause of how he was raised, but like just seeing someone eat the food does not make my brain satisfied in knowing they enjoyed eating it, especially when I know they were raised in a “eat what you get, don’t get upset” type of house.
