We kind of split it but when doing a grocery delivery subscription like hellofresh for a few weeks, I cook most of it because I find following the baby step instructions less tedious
Usually whoever isn’t busy with the kids at the time.
My wife on weekdays, me on weekends/holidays/any days I don’t work.
Most of the time my gf does the cooking. I’m the primary breadwinner, plus she loves to cook. I do too, but she does more. I do other stuff around the house - clean up after the cats, clean floors, take out garbage - but cooking is her deal.
Usually my mother but I like to volunteer as to learn and expan my skills
I do it at least 6 days of the week, I have a very intense problem-solving job and cooking something following a recipe helps me relax and blank my mind a bit.
I do the cooking because I enjoy it and am halfway decent at it, he does all the dishes. It’s a fair trade for both of us, since he hates cooking and I’m not a fan of doing dishes.
Generally, we each cook for ourselves unless someone is sick or it’s an event or something, then I do the cooking.
The same person who did the cooking when I did live alone: not me.
Mostly my mother and I. It’s almost certain my dad will complain about cooking taking more than 5 minutes and only sometimes helps ( only if my mom gets him to do it ). And my brother sometimes does it and sometimes helps, but more often than not I don’t need his help.
I personally don’t mind it since I don’t hate doing it. And it’s a pretty good life skill to have in general. None of us are professional chefs, but I imagine my mom and I could definitely outcook the average family in America anymore. Cooking is a dying art because of a combination of lack of convenience, laziness, grocery prices going up, and impatience, I swear.
Mostly I do the cooking because I love it, I am very fast doing it, I am very good at it and I like us to have healthy food in the house. He does some specific dishes that I don’t feel like doing. I made the rule of whoever does the cooking, also cleans up. It is strange at first glance, but I clean while I cook, so I don’t have to clean a bunch of stuff at the end. And he is a messy cook. So I don’t get in the kitchen while he cooks, otherwise I would get mad with the lack of efficiency.
And he loves my food much more than I do. It is a pleasure to see him enjoy what I cook.
I cook about 1/3 of the time my wife about a 1/3 of the time and both of us together about 1/3 of the time. We are both very good cooks but have different strengths.
I’m better when I plan ahead equilibrium brines, sousvide, smoking, Indian currie etc. She can look at what’s in the fridge and whip up something good at short notice.
Together is usually each of us working on a different dish or me doing Mise en place for her.
I work from home, and unless things are going a little crazy I do most of the cooking. Occasionally my wife will cover a lunch or breakfast or maybe even a dinner if things are crazy but it’s probably one out of 10 times max.
She’s pretty big into pre-packaged or just making a sandwich, I’ll break out the baking soda flour and sugar and make pancakes, or if I think about it a couple hours early I’ll make pizza dough or something I don’t usually plan much past that. If I am using something pre-packaged I’ll usually go out of my way to do something interesting with it. Make a buffalo sauce toss the nuggets in it throw them over a bag salad.
Usually wife during the week, me on the weekend. Changes sometimes due to circumstances obviously.
Depends on the night. When it is me I do some simple sautéed vegetables, a rice, and protein (tofu or meat). Sometimes I branch out and do pasta or casseroles.
