Today i was watching BBCFood, i always watch them, i love to cook :-(
I'm a frustrated cook... cooking is my dream. since my childhood i love collecting recipe and cookbooks. i love going to the market and pick the ingredients myself. i want to make sure that my recipe will come out perfect. Back home my cookery was good as to my relative said. they open commented me as a good cook in the household.
But now i have to leave away from my mom in the far away country beside my husband. I have to stand to my own. i have to learn to cook the food that my husband loves to eat. honestly my husband is very good on pretending to appreciate my cook food. I don't know what happen to me..
I feel i lost my ability in the kitchen, I cant cook anything everything is a disaster..I can only cook spaghetti and chicken stew, that's it! if i cook my husband will eat and phrase me that i cook well and he loves to eat the food. But open he said lets just order from the restaurant outside.
But if my housemate will cook she cant wait to eat and he eats too much and happy the way she cook. i don't know if I'm hurt of the what. but sometimes i cried over this thing, am i childish? i really want to learn how to cook well, i'm worried if i have to cook good meal the visitor or my husband got feed up on how i cook.
Sometimes i don't feel like cooking but if my husband ask me what do i want to eat and he will order from the restaurant, i feel sad. I always think , if i can cook well we can save money. maybe he will be more happier. anyway i never heard him complain about it, since i inform him before got together that i'm really a bad cook in Arabic cuisine. too much species and procedures. Oh god help me!!!I have lots of cookbook and somebody who teaches me to cook but they still cant trust me when it comes to cooking,
They will just assign vegetables salads and dessert or slicing ingredients to help or else nothing i feel guilty all the time. open i found myself self pitying in my room and crying which will make my husband worry and ask me what happen? "What happen?" he said. " i hate my self" i answer. "why?" i cant cook!! hu hu hu hu" and then i will stay in my room until feel fine about my self. usually i will watch cooking channel in TV. and i will try to copy at least one recipe and do it. what Am I? crazy? I really feel bad about myself.
I feel more guilty if my husband try to please with gifts especially when he buy things for my kitchen or a new cookbook.
"yeah he really know i'm a bad cooker". do i have to enroll in culinary?

Don't be hard to yourself nasserannette
I'm sure you a good cook like everyone.
Everyone had a difficulty in cooking a different cuisines from
what they had usually cook.
It's a good idea to take lessons.
But I knew you can follow the cookbok so there no need
to take class.
You just need to familiarize the taste of the food he loves.

hi nasserannette!
welcome to the club! i am a bad cook too and pleasing hubby to gourmet meals is out of the question. since he loves to eat good food, he is the one who studied cooking from tv and books.
