Not too sure if this is the best place for this...apologies if not.
DP cooks 1 evening a week to give me a night off (he gets a greater proportion of cleaning chores to make up for this) and frankly, he can't cook. Sounds horrible, but there's not another way of phrasing it. I don't mean to be mean
His 'creations' are always saucy one-pot type things, with a base of pureed tinned tomatoes which is flavoured with condiments. It always tastes exactly the same (kind of like mustard with a bit of tobasco). The meat could be anything but is always horrendously tough. The veg is whatever there is in the house. Today he's added cooked rice to the pot and an hour later, it's still on the hob.
He's very touchy about cooking so I want to gently steer rather than be critical. Does anyone have any tips on perhaps getting him to follow a recipe? I like my non-cooking night but I'd love it if I could look forward to the food too.
The only alternative he occasionally makes is kind of a chicken stuffed with cheese, served with double or sometimes triple carbs
