Does anyone not like your cooking?

Posted by HeartofGlass, December 19, 2008

I'm in awe of some of the dedication that you uber-cooks bring to the art and science of cooking, being just a beginning cook who more often than not cooks for one.

I've also chuckled at many a story (and told some myself) of the culinary misadventures of friends, family members, and co-workers.

So we all have people whose cooking we may not love as much as the person him or herself, perhaps--but what about you? Does anyone you love or loathe reject your cooking, fairly or unfairly?

I've met with that quite a lot, even when I make simple things I can legitimately cook, if they're vegetable based. Like, when I used to work at an office outside my home I would be reheating a stir-fry and get the comment 'wow, that smells really good' but once they saw it contained 'green matter' they rejected it--ditto with my father.
