riteee. . . . 4 starters u dont go about assumin u know it all. . . . , secondly d poster neva mentioned his wife didnt earn sooooo let dat be a pointer 2 u. Lastly d poster did mention he knew b4 dey got married dat his wife wasn't a fantastic cook so gettin married was d solution 2 an already existin issue? Oh plsssss!!! i still suggest u either eat wateva she makes and keep quiet or go make urself somethin u deem edible and call it a day!!!

Im done with you abeg, you dey give me headache !!!


Next. . .

^^^^ hehehhehe
I tot u will continue with the maga. i think she is a kid. Those already in it knows beta. Abegii, use panasharp for ur headache jare.

I think that above all poster should hold on to the most important thing a lot of people have said and that is do not pummel your wife's self esteem over this matter. And its not like there's no solution to the problem at hand, if its not practicable to go to catering school, then you both learn at home. There are a lot of recipes here on nairaland and you could also watch lots and lots of cooking shows together. Some people cant learn by reading recipes but some can and watching cooking programs will help. You sound like you love your wife and I'm sure you will do what's best for your marriage.
P.S. Do not send her back to her mother as that will be an effontery of sorts and an insult.

Shame on you.
I cook better than my wife.
Your parents should have taught you better.
I taught my wife how to cook. Not as bad you described your wife though.
Make yourself useful please.

I married my wife knowing quite well she's not a fantastic cook but i thought when we get married and she does the cooking more often she will improve but i was wrong as it becomes worsefrom bad everyday. its of either the soupy is tasteless or watery or the semo is like pap sweetended with plenty sugar, rice mostly saltless, beans- dnt even go there. Any time i make complains she takes offence and say i dnt appreciate her effort but the most painfully aspect is that i hadly want to eat outside the home, so whatever she serves me as dinner when i get home from work happens to be the only meal i have in a day which ends up being pathetic most times, though am already toying with the idea of having me fill before going home but i dnt really want to do that for the sake of jeopardizing my home and my pocket. pls what do i do.

What you describe here is a gross understatement regarding not being a fantastic cook. This woman is a culinary disaster on two legs.

You must have married a Chinese woman if she cooks semovita(fufu) tasting like pap sweetened with plenty sugar"?

What woman on this planet earth and beyond would make a mistake making simple fufu?

How dare you complain after marrying her like that. You got what you wanted in a wife.


You have two options.

1. You should quit your job and stay home to do all the cooking while she goes out to do the breadwinning if it bothers you so much.

Or,

2. Take your time to teach her the way you want it done like I had to do with mine.

Blazay:

2. Take your time to teach her the way you want it done like I had to do with mine.

And what are you to do when she sees nottin wrong in what she cooks and refuses to learn?

Its time for cooking lessons, simple. Get receipes out of internet and cook together its fun, something of a mini adventure. Benefits: you get to spend time together, you both get to do something you've never done before, both learn how to cook, both become conversant in different types of dish and happy family that can host killer dinner parties, your home is where friends meet for exotic and tate bud teasing meals, all to go with a good laughter and wine.

Try it

mmmmmhhhh! makes me wanna host a little something something.

Im done with you abeg, you dey give me headache !!!

Eyaaa. . .My sista, your response really touched me O, i no go lie.

But if the above really came from you, then maybe a guy made you angry that made you keep makin those comments that made me think i was talkin to one of those arrant gurls (to defend feminism), i never knew you'r this kind hearted. Im also sorry for some of my quotes that (maybe) got you angry, it wasn't my intention also (gba ghara'm) !!!

We can now be friends.

@poster
Go outside and look for a very gorgeous woman that you really want to bed (and is interested in you of course) and can cook well. Do not bed her (just cos cheating is wrong), instead keep the temptation and flame alive. What you need to do is employ the gorgeous lady as your cook. As part of the employment terms, she will dress in mini skirts and half naked.
If your wife asks you why or what you need the cook for, tell her you enjoy the woman's cooking. When you answer, make sure you lick your lips and look lustfully towards your new cook.
That should solve the problem well enough.

Disclaimer - if trick not well executed, it might land you a few days in the doghouse.

Na which part of East u from?

@Poster

I guess you married her to be your cook and glorified maid like most naija alpha males do. It is no wonder they take much offense and begin developing high blood pressure when some women do not want to thread down that path of marraige because they have alot to loose. Let me tell you something as a happily married man, when you marry someone, you don't expect the person to start changing for you. If you did not like the fact that she cannot cook and you knew this was important to you, you should have married someone who does meet your requirement and knows how to cook. Now, here you are on an online forum whinning like a baby. Whoever said marraige was going to be easy? Now, be a man and go teach your wife how to cook or hire a cook for your household or rely on eating out everyday and stop making too much noise!

Thank God o.

All the ladies that responded that the poster should send his wife to catering school should cover their faces with their hands, This world don spoil o!!!!!! haba why dont you also advise him to send her to school of motherhood too? or school of marriage!!!! well, i dont blame you all or the woman, i blame the guy! didnt he notice this before he got married to her? why cry over spilt milk now. Abeg this is your cross; carry it!

I married my wife knowing quite well she's not a fantastic cook but i thought when we get married and she does the cooking more often she will improve but i was wrong as it becomes worsefrom bad everyday. its of either the soupy is tasteless or watery or the semo is like pap sweetended with plenty sugar, rice mostly saltless, beans- dnt even go there.

It baffles me how some nairalanders think, so the poster should not have married her cos she cant cook eventhough he loves her . One often hear statements like didn't you guys date?, and all that. We often forget the fact that no on is perfect, eventhough deep within us we want a perfect spouse and so we hope even against hope that such aperson may overcome that deficiency(which might be a 'not 2 serious' issue).

This poster's wife has some very good traits thats why he married her, at the same time wants his wife to be a great cook. what is difficult to grasp here?

The way posts are replied on most thread,one can differientiate the married from the unmarried.

@OP
you ve gotten loads of advice, choose which will work 4 u.

Ok, U dey lere b4, but now U dey cali?. . .Ah, U dey wia beta breeze dey blow ooo, hehe. .  . . .I dey Aguda sha.
