But not impossible. My wife claims she married me for my kitchen and the fact that I knew how to and used everything in it. She's also a good cook and one of our favorite pastimes is cooking together. We both enjoy cooking tremendously. Fortunately, she also likes to bake which I've yet to tackle.
My mother was a gourmet cook and I learned a lot from her and even more on my own. I had to teach the ex how to cook and after a time she became quite good at it. I also insisted that all my children learn. Especially in this day-and-age it's a necessary survival skill if nothing else. Too many other people don't or can't.
I'm also a grill master and probably grill five nights a week, year round, while my wife takes care of sides unless I'm also grilling vegetables from our garden. We have quite a varied yet healthy and tasty diet.
How very cool for both of you If you get into baking, you're gonna love it-- it's like therapy for me,like riding a Harley--just so calming

But baking takes so much precision...? Cooking can be a flurry of hodge podge and adjusting of flavors throughout the process. Much more forgiving.
Honestly, the worst part of cooking to me is all the prep.
I love the prep... the chopping and slicing.... but I'm so with you on the baking. Too rigid for me to find enjoyable... all the measuring, and if it turns out bad... you can't really do anything with it.
Yes its always great to have a husband who can cook, I am with you Lastra main cook in the household but my husband is very supportive and sometimes enjoys getting in on helping me with things around the kitchen. This will be our Second Thanksgiving and Christmas together, and we have decided to do our own thing at home instead of the big family gatherings, Am quiet young not a lot of major cooking exp but looking forward to trying out the new recipes with the hubby and I

A woman who can't cook is like a man who can not change a tire. I feel sorry for these types of people.
I can't change a tire, but I can cook, and I'm not one bit ashamed of admitting that...
Gender roles are meant to be broken imho.

I dunno. Usually when I eff up baking stuff, I just find a way to eat it still, even if it taste like garbage. I don't let any food go to waste.
