what is the proper way to compliment someone when they make food you enjoy?

it feels like i always say "it is very good" or "it is delicious". so much that it doesnt feel like it is genuine even if i really mean it.

But what is genuine? The gesture to do something for you, and the desire to have made a dish well. What is genuine to you? Your enjoyment, your length of time since you last craved that meal, or enjoyed one that much, or had just been reading about it, etc. Speak from the heart, dude. It's not hard. I just gave you 4 topics to pull from.
That was really nice of you to 1) have had something ready for me 2) made a meal from scratch for me 3) know how to make that so well 4) made something I had just been reading about.
Mmm, it's been a while since Ive had french onion soup. I remember the first time I had it. I remember the first time I tried to cook it. I remember this fantastic restaurant that isn't around anymore. I remember always wanting to have those cute little ovensafe bowls. I always wanted to know exactly what cheese that was on top. I love hot soup. I love hot cheese. I love slow cooked food. I like fast cooked food. I like hot soup after a cold day.
None of actual compliments. Pick one. Even average mediocre run of the mill food is delicious if you are starving and grateful. If you don't feel sincere in that at least, you're probably just a prick.

When I was a young man I had a hard time faking emotions. As I grew older and I had fewer friends, I realized that the important thing was to be consistent and seem to react to situations the way you'd expect a caring individual to react. With practice it becomes routine. I wish I had learned that it was ok to manipulate people at a younger age, my life would have turned out different.

The solution is to pressure her into a cycle of recreational chemical abuse. You can suppress your feelings of loathing for one another essentially indefinitely. The relationship then ends as soon as one of you decides to sober up.

1. Step away from the table after youve finished.
2. Make sure you have at least 5 feet of clearance sround you.
3. Do a backflip.

But actually I thought about something like crying after you've just finished it. When I eat something REALLY delicious, I can't help myself to almost cry on how much wonderful and unique that moment is.

I sometimes say something casual like "oh this is very tasty" when I'm eating it and then I bring it up later. Like a few hours later I might smile and be like "I'm still full, man that food you made was so gooood".

The only time someone else cooks for me is if I'm visiting an ethnic friend's family. For example, I've been invited to an Ethiopian, Korean, German and Bulgarian dinner. At each of those occassions I told the cook(s) that it was the most fantastic experience and I truly enjoyed their culture and food. They seemed very content with that. If you're just visiting someone who is perhaps your same race/culinary type, you could easily bend my compliment to fit the topic. Did they cook Italian food? Insert Italian in their. Best Italian ever! Stuff like that.

Not unless criticism is specifically requested, and even then it should be delivered in a very constructive, positive manner. If it's awful and criticism isn't asked for, then simply remember to always politely decline eating that person's food ever again.

When my bf cooks i don't just tell him it's good, i explain why i think it's good. I'll say things like "lovely presentation" or compliment the texture of a food or describe why i like the flavors. That way he knows what he did well and he knows why i enjoy the dish

Clean your plate or ask for more. Since in this situation it is quite delicious, you probably wont mind having more of dat good shit. If they insist you express it vocally, just say its good.

Most things is usually best expressed through actions.
