Greetings everyone. I am Mariana, a professional cook. I enjoy trying and cooking new dishes from various regions, such as Indian, Korean, American, and my personal favorite, Thai. I love cooking Thai Food, and my kids also love it, but my husband is different.

He absolutely hates any other food and adores his mom’s cooking. No matter how hard I try, he can never praise my cooking skills.

Does anyone else face similar problems, or am I being paranoid?

Stop cooking different dishes without being a mistress of one. Learn from the mother, master her style, and start serving him like his mother does.

But wait! Did he not try your food before marrying you?

Never try to compare yourself with a man's mother - in anything - you'll understand soon if you're a good mother to your kids. Leave his adoration of mum's food (he's had atleast 2+ decades cherishing it).

Secondly, not all men like the idea of travelling across the world in the dinning table - sometimes, a man just wants to eat eba - not Thai.

I'll suggest you talk it out with him - of all my experiments (cooking) which one do you like. Then do more of those, and if you have extra time, do the intercontinental dishes on weekends for you and the kids.

Even if you learn how to cook exactly like his mum, and even better - a mother's meal is more than the recipe.

Go spend time with his mother and learn the way a couple of dishes are being cooked by her

That's what a traditional and sensible wife will do

Not bring it to a platform where most of the responses will be from genzee OS, side chickens, girlfriends and wives

If he loves his mom's cooking, then tell him to pay his mother to cook for you all. She could cook in large quantities for you to store in the fridge or for later use. I am sure you have your hands busy enough with your professional cooking career to worry yourself about whether your food tastes exactly like his mom's or whether he compliments you or not. I am certain you get more than enough of that — compliments —from your customers, right? No need to make a big deal of his refusal to like or praise your cooking.

"I am Mariana, a professional cook. I enjoy trying and cooking new dishes from various regions, such as Indian, Korean, American, and my personal favorite, Thai. I love cooking Thai Food"... Drop all this in your bag and go to his mother humbly and learn how she cooks. As a professional cook, you should know how to diversify to please everyone

No food can be sweeter than mum's. You wan compare the food wey your man don dey chop from cradle to adulthood? No be juju be dat?

Wife should rather find out mama's recipes and apply it into her cooking. That's the only panacea to the perceived dislikes. Obę ti baale ile kiiję, iyale ile kii seee. It's that simple

Good morning my people.

Taking a break from NL, due to work challenge and new responsibilities. Have a good one my people. CIAO

That's good. Since you see your husband's mum as your competitor. Just continue.
Who go say him mama soup nor sweet?
You brethren should pls help me with something to get what to survive on please. The situation is tearing me apart.

Simply means your cooking is not as good as his mother’s. Upgrade your cooking skills.

Your “experimental” Thai foods should be done occasionally. Give the man the Nigerian meals he grew up with.

Some women and overdo

I never chop NAIJA food finish u dey bring Thai food, I can bet the man would have warned u a couple times to give him Nigeria swallow but u no gree na y him leave u make u dey do Wetin u like.


U wan dey form Americana for your man, e go shock u say na woman wey dey pound fufu n efo go carry your husband go.


Keep forming Wetin u no be

You need to go learn how to cook Nigerian dishes!

You dey Nigeria, you dey cook Korean food for your husband...who cares about that?!

Unfortunately, most women of nowadays
don't know how to cook .



You expect a man brought up on oha, gbegiri,
ogbono and edikang-ikong, with pounded yam
eba and akpu, to suddenly switch to Thai &
Chinese noodles with frog legs

Instead of cooking what he loves, you are
cooking whay you like...


Better wake-up or we arrange a sidechick for
him, who will be cooking what he loves..

Go your husband mom and lean how she cocked .. there is no shame in doing that.

.there must be a meal your husband enjoys eating from you...if not you're a terrible cook 😞

You have to take your time n learn how to cook in the way that will please him, there's no harm in changing your cooking patterns.

Go to his mum, learn the type of food ur husband loves. Don't let it have bad feelings to ur mother in-law

You wan kill local man with a lot of foreign dishes

Who does that?

Is simple ask your mother inlaw to teach u how to cook.. I keep wondering how a professional cook will not be able to cook to the taste of her own husband, then how can that professional ever going to serve to the taste of strangers, she will have to cook for as a professional...

Maybe the problem is in the type of food you cook rather than him liking his mom's food.

Children will eat anything but I doubt an adult will want to eat what they didn't grow up eating as their daily diet.

A Nigerian can take Thai dishes every now and then but I doubt anyone will want to take it everyday, unless they grew up eating it.

I guess his mom cooks Nigerian foods. Maybe you too should cook Nigerian foods. You should also use less processed ingredients and keep it more natural.

I know you will have loads of spices and ingredients at your disposal as per a cook. But those things are not usually healthy for adults. He can have them once in a while, yes, but not as part of his everyday diet.

You are not being paranoid.
Some men just love their mum's food and as a woman, it can be frustrating.

Just keep on doing your best, improve your cooking skills and make your food available for him at all times.

With time, he will come around

We are crossing border to solve marital problems the ones in Nigeria are overwhelming and to cumbersome to resolve. My dear I will advise you try to reason with your husband why he hates your food. If possible liase with your mother-in-law to unravel the secret of her cooking so as to bring peace in your home.

Every marriage must work

Your problem ..and a very big one, is that professional you added to your title. Replace it with traditional and you will immediately see where your help will come from.

How's your relationship with your mother-in-law? We start from there.

Someone of you women are so insensitive.

Why are you forcing him to eat all those foreign food he's not used to?
And why can't you put in more effort on learning to cook the foods he prefers than impressing him with foods he's not interested in?

It is very normal, that's not a problem at all just improve in ur cooking that's all. I feel same too

I hope you're also good in the other room

Simple!

Go to the mum and learn from her!

Life's cool!

Sometimes life can be so hard without having food to live on

How on earth are you giving a grown ass man Thai?. Don't you know, you are emotionally traumatizing him.
1
Has he been to Korea?
What his tongue type B Or A (sugary or salty)
How does he like his food hot or cold?

2 Do you know that food have species?
They are about 7 species of egusi?, eeeh professional cook?

Was he brought up with tomato-egusi and you are making baked egusi?



Lastly, know that apart from ATP the other importance of food is psychological?.
-plate used
-dishing
-time factor.


I can't imagine coming back from work and someone is serving me Thai
