My dad died when I was 7, the only thing I ever remember him cooking for me was canned beans, but he was really enthusiastic about it.
My mother can cook a very few dishes well, she makes good tomato soup and a couple of other things, but in general no she's a shit cook, but she knows she is so it's not really a problem, I don't have to pretend she's great at cooking.

My mom yes, my dad sort of.
She cooked both northern and southern Italian food as well as Hungarian and Swiss food. She was from Italy, raising in Switzerland.
My dad is halfmerican. He can cook some of my gran's Central/West Asian shit and learnt to cook blackmerican cookout stuff like potato salad from growing up in 'groidsylvania, Brooklyn but ruins most things he tries outside of that.
For example, his Christmas/Thanksgiving turkey is drier than a nun's cunt and his gravy is an awful mess thickened with a cornflour slurry.
Wish he'd just make turkey plov.

My dad avoids it except canned spaghetti sauce mixed with canned vegetables or bbq. His bbq consists of hamburgers or steak which he does to infrequently the steaks are often rare and he says "better to be undercooked than overcooked".

My mum has a variety of foods, but most are unseasoned and she's never cooked chicken or pork correctly. She always gives the same "better undercooked than overcooked" as if properly cooked isnt an option. I now do all the cooking.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Nope.
Mom could basically operate the microwave and that was it. We didn't trust her with knives. Ran in her side of the family too, her mom couldn't cook jack shit either. Grandpa ate at local cafe all the time for meals to survive.

Dad was basically a cooklet, but no where near as bad as mom. Could at least follow fucking box/package instructions and make basic things using a pan/oven. Grill? Food was charcoal briquettes. His family might have been ok? I don't recall anything special from holidays that stood out as awesome food.

I learned my ass how to cook very fucking early in life. It was rough as fuck, I had to make do with what groceries they would get, and arguing for better shit was impossible. Fucking tubs of margarine tier bad. As we got more money later on, food mostly came from fast food/restaurants, so that helped me cope. The upside is zero nostalgia for home cooked meals or homesickness. That was never a thing for me. I could literally be out in the woods, making shit in a foil packet, and I would not be bothered.

My mum's not a great cook, but she is a decent cook. Her father (who I never knew) was by all repute an amazing cook, and he left a whole box full of index cards of his resippies (like, 200 of them). My mother tries to make them but she has "her own way" which, as an adult, I can see is usually messing up some of the instructions, and also a lot of them are too complicated for her to bother with so she never made them.

BUT she made me love cooking and some of "her" versions are actually better than the originals. Also, I'm not much of a baker at all, but in autumn when she would make an apple pie, it was a big deal and took the whole kitchen table plus counter space. She bought me my own roller and pastry cutter etc so I could make a little pie along with her. It was great.

If you copy a ravioli dish made by a Chinese person living in Mexico, you're not cooking anything representative of anything by default.

Mother is terrible at cooking and we all have to pretend that she’s good at it. If you hand this woman a pork chop, it will turn to charcoal as soon as it touches her fingers. She prides herself on never using recipes and I’ve seen her dump an entire bottle of wine on top of a pork tenderloin as it burns in the pan on High. She’s recently been watching Top Chef and she’s decided that, for my birthday, she’s going to cook me a five course meal and obviously that’s not what I want, but also I love her, so I’ll just grit my teeth through it. The good news is that, according to her, one course will be a “palette cleanser” and one will be an “amuse-bouche.”

Dad exclusively cooks soups and he’s great at it but he’s also not allowed to make them spicy because my mom can’t have any in her food or she wont eat it.

I think my mom might have autism.

My dad didn't really cook much that I can remember, but I have some good memories of making breakfast on the weekends, just simple stuff like waffles from boxed mix or making donuts from canned biscuit dough, fun shit that you really appreciate as a kid even though I know it was all really basic stuff that people who don't actually know how to cook do. My mom was pretty much the quintessential 90s lower income white suburban parent, she'd make basic ass shit like chicken or pork chops with canned/frozen vegetables and boxed mashed potatoes or rice-a-roni, shit like that.

Parents divorced pretty early on, like when I was 7 or 8, and from then on it was pretty much eat whatever you can figure out yourself. Instant ramen, cereal, canned ravioli, spaghettios, etc. Dad died when I was 13 (fuck cancer) and mom spent all of my teen years actively neglecting any parental responsibilities, so it just pretty much continued like that until I turned 18 and moved out.

Mom is average these days. She used to be horrible because she just made old recipes from my great aunts and grandma, whom were also average cooks. One day I told my mom that nothing she made was really that great growing up, and she has been seething ever since. It made her a way better cook. I still feel bad for saying it.

My father has never cooked for himself. He is a tastelet too, which was surprising because when I was a kid he always took us out for many different restaurants. He refused to believe me when I told him they put mayonnaise on Mexican corn instead of butter, and couldn't cope with the fact that he really enjoyed eating mayo covered corn. He also flat out refused to have the roast duck I made for Christmas and insisted that he was made a separate London broil because he would not even try the duck. He made the icky face when I said I was making duck. I got him during that meal when he said the potatoes were good, and I told him they were roasted in duck fat. He likes all of my desserts and his favorite meal of mine was when I made an overcooked brisket in my anova oven, with homemade Mac n cheese and a collard green like side dish made with swiss chard from the garden.

My parents know some dishes really well but as soon as they try something new it's a disaster.
Sometimes one of them is good at a dish and the other is terrible. My father is great at roasting a chicken but my mother always ends up making some kind of boiled mess even though she makes it in the oven.

I live in the house with a bunch of aunts, the ones that do the cooking only learned how to season food when I was about 14. Before that every single thing was covered in black pepper. It was absolutely disgusting. They have literally no standards and would eat the most disgusting slop as long as it doesn't kill them. I once ate their dumplings with mushrooms and cabbage (their favorite dish), I wanted to vomit for 3 days.

Depends on the dish but generally yes, im a polack so my mom made lots of perogies, stuffed cabbage, she doesnt cook too much but when she does shes good at it, she has trigeminal neuralgia which pretty much makes her feel electric shocks in her face and is triggered by eating, brushing teeth, anything that activates the trigeminal nerve there's a chance of her getting a shock so she can't eat much and is underweight. She likes cooking for us and watching us eat, gives her satisfaction. Shes a wonderful baker too, made my sister a beautiful barbie cake with the dress made with fondant.

>> No.19412935

each of my parents can cook maybe 10 or so dishes that would pass for restaurant quality.

for the most part I'd say they're average midwest american cooks. We ate a lot of stuff like grilled sausage, steaks, pork chops and cassorles. it wasn't bad but for the most part it was generic bland "home cooking". the idea of seasonings other than table salt pepper and Italian seasoning was non existent.

My mother is a very good Arab cook. Better then most I think even when I went to Iraq I noticed she was better. Even better then my grandma. I won’t lie though she chooses to make things I don’t like half of the time though but still good. My father can cook a handful of quick things but I think he prefers not to. He even taught my mom how to make a dish or so but she improved on them.

I think every person should know how to cook to some extent. It’s cheaper most of the time, stops you from eating goyslop, and is better for you. Only reason why you wouldn’t is because your either autistic or lazy. Good litmus test for being retarded or not really

Mom was a generic low-middle class white mom cook. Competent enough to follow most recipes and not fail, but she'd never try anything too foreign, tends to overcook everything out of fear and underseasons if she's not following a recipe.
Dad only really made smash burgers by himself though if he HAS to cook he's actually pretty good and made several great pastries, donuts, bread, except he eats all of it so it's almost a secret if it wasn't for the dirty dishes lmao

Anyone else have a non tasting mom? My mom is grossed out by meat, doesn't like most anything else, and usually eats toast yogurt salads and corn chips. So since she doesn't like her own cooking she never tastes it. She just makes everything the same way every time and my dad has to tell her how it is. And he has to lie to her to prevent fights which is probably part of the reason he eats so shit and has heart disease. Idk what to do about this. I tried giving mom recipes but it didn't seem to change much.

My dad is unironically and completely unbiasedly the best cook I have ever seen in my entire life by a wide margin. And he's not a professional chef or anything like that so I don't know where he got the talent or the gene. Most of my family are all pretty good cooks except for my mom.

My mom does. The annoying thing is even with dozens of cook books she'll spend hours online finding new recipes. Half the time she'll some how forget the recipe after buying a bunch of new ingredients, which will then rot.
My dad not so much. He can follow basic recipes, but with stuff like mac & cheese he'll throw in shredded cheese.
Both don't seem to like to use timers if they're cooking noodles, rice, or frozen pizza, so it's more likely overcooked.

>> No.19416794

Neither of my parents know how to cook. My dad comes from a culturally conservative background where only the women cook and my mom only knows very basic stuff and mostly just buys cans which is what her great depression-era mother would do.

All of my cooking experience comes from YouTube and my paternal grandmother.
