I'm not entirely sure whether this post should be on relationships or here, I think this is a better fit...
A bit of background. I'm in my early 40s, with no children but a DH.
As a child I never cooked, my mum tried to encourage me but I had no interest. My plan was to either have a microwave or find a husband who could cook. I moved out in my early twenties and found that I had to cook haha! I started off using lots of chicken tonight things thrown in the oven, but progressed to using the bbc good food mag, Nigella etc I had dinner parties, cooked Christmas dinner, baked was seen as a good cook by friends and family.
A change in personal circumstances in my 30s meant I relied on m&s food or very simple cooking, I never cooked properly, I missed it.
Forward to now. I have a part time job so the time to cook, but a very fussy husband who seems to prefer things that can be thrown in the oven and pretty much on chicken.
This has culminated in tonight me getting very upset and him buying some nasty japanese from m&s at the station, that he's not eating as he's asleep and I don't want to eat, because I'd rather cook from fresh.
But I just feel that everything I cook is no good.
Please tell me where to start again with cooking???? (The husband has to stay ;) )
