    normally me, but only because I get home first.  He is by far the better cook...

    I do all the cooking and he does the dishes. Once and a while he will help me by chopping onions or something.  I find it sexy when a man gets in the kitchen and cooks.

    I do 90% of it. I am lucky he likes leftovers too! He can do basic things if he cooked we would be having tacos and pizza. I am making this tonighthttp://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1896093

    I do the cooking and he is my sous chef.  But I dont eat meat so every night he cooks his own meat and helps out.

    I do most of the cooking. I pour a glass of wine, put music on and totally enjoy it. MH loves to cook too. When he has time he does the chopping, etc. He does make killer pasta dishes.

    I cook almost every night.  If I'm going to be out he can and will cook for himself. He also occassionally cooks for me as a treat. But its always chicken and he doesn't follow a recipe.  He has elected himself as the clean up person/ dishes, which i love!!!

    The rule in my house growing up: whoever cooked didn't have to clean up.Mye. I will let you know how it turns t. I think FI will love it

    We do take out way too much :(  I am trying to get my cook on lately, but it's not easy.  I am vegetarian (except I eat fish) and his isn't.  He also gets home at all different times due to his job.

    I do most of the cooking. I am really anal about my kitchen - where things are kept, especially - and I don't think my H does things "right" as in my way :P therefore I cook and clean (most of the time). He says I even critique his grilling so I do that too.

    I do 100% of the cooking.  His culinary expertise extends to warming up leftovers in the microwave.  Unfortunately, I also do most of the kitchen cleaning since he just doesn't do things right.  He doesn't load the dishwasher correctly, doesnt rinse dishes, and just doesn't see what the big deal is.  I feel like a nag, and by the time I explain how to do it it could have already been done.  I wind up donig it b/c it's just easier.  Yeah, I'm a sucker, I know.

    50/50.  But we tend to want different things, so we mostly each cook for ourselves.

    Pretty much exactly what Partymixx said.  I do all the cooking and most all of the cleaning bc I am anal (he'll wash the pots often, he is good at that).  In the 4 years we have been together, he cooked for me once.

    I do most, but he can cook pretty well.  We have different schedules, so a lot of times it's pizza.
  • edited December 2011
    I do 95% of the cooking. Once in a while he will make ravioli, pizza, or something equally simple and that will be his "cooking"I also make a lot of dishes just for him that I wouldn't eat.

    it depends.  I have my weeks when i am susie homemaker and cook almost everyday and then i have my weeks when i come home and ask whats for dinner.  I am def more the hearty sunday dinner cook. He is the healthy tilapia, brown rice, and veggies cook.Oh and he is a great breakfast cook.  When he makes breakfast it always looks pretty..me not so much...lol

    What is this cooking you speak of??Seriously, neither of us cooks. Half the time, I heat up some soup or a veggie burger (I'm  vegetarian, he is not), an he makes store-brand mac-and-cheese.We're sad, sad creatures.

    I do all the cooking but he helps clean up.

    We split up the cooking, although when he is home, he tends to cook for me.  Did I mention that my FI is a chef...like worked as a sous chef at Gramercy Tavern?  Yea, I'm LUCKY.  I love to cook as well, so I enjoy learning new techniques from him.   We definitely spend a lot of time in our kitchen.
