I hate cooking. I hate the effort that goes into it, the prep, and especially the cleaning. It's women's work.

However I love good food. At the moment I am separated from my girl so that means that if I want food I need to cook it myself.

If you don't know how to cook, the easiest advice I can give you is this:

Get high quality meat and produce. In europe, I've found that the quality of grocery store produce is really high and lasts a long time. In America I've found it to be hit or miss. Find the secret meat and produce places that the locals shop at and avoid big chain grocery stores.

Next are good recipes. If you can follow directions you can cook. It's that easy. Food and wine is a good site. When you find a good recipe, copy and save it to your computer. Start creating a long list of recipes that are good. You can save yourself a lot of angst by asking mom and grandma for their recipes.

As of now, I have a lot of recipes given from my grandma and my girlfriend which are stupendous "mom" style cooking recipes passed down for years. I also have a few cook books (Food Porn Daily ,a slow cooker book, and an ethnic cuisine cook book).

As for cleaning, the best trick I have for this is clean as you go. When something is sizzling throw it into the sink and scrub. Constantly be in the motion of cleaning while cooking. Other then that, get a dishwasher. I'm at the point in my life where I only live in apartments with washers/dryers and dishwashers. I hate hand washing dishes. Or delegate it to a lady

An ability to cook food and not be picky is a massive sticking point for me when it comes to women. If a girl is a vegetarian, vegan, or on some other BS diet she's a P&D. Not worth any LTR. Food is very important and one of life's simple pleasures. Food is far more sustaining than a tight vagina ever will be by itself.

Fucking right. If I hear the words while dating someone: "I can't cook/don't cook/don't like to cook" then that woman is dead to me as an LTR prospect. My need to eat is far more greater than my need to bang.

I have banged and gone out with a handful of women who with have said the aforementioned and I don't really hide how unattractive it is to me. A woman who can't or won't cook is the equivalent of a man who refuses to earn a decent living for his future family. Imagine if you told a woman you wanted kids but you were content with your minimum wage job? They'd look at you like you were retarded. That's how I look at women who can't/won't cook. You want a family/kids one day (most do) and you can't even cook for yourself? I guess I have take-out every night to look forward to if I stay with you, right?

It's kind of amazing when I share my perspective how many women suddenly go into "Holy fuck... I need to learn how to cook like right now!" mode. Of course more often than not, they think because they made a plate of steam veggies and rice they are now super awesome and I should be grateful for the privilege of them cooking me a meal and its my turn to cook for them (and cook something legit; not some bullshit 5 minute thing).

These dumb sluts don't really understand their role or position at all. No way I will EVER consider living with a woman and having kids with her if she doesn't see cooking nice meals regularly as part of her duty. While dating, I just need to see that they can cook and enjoy doing it here and there but don't because they work full-time. I had a woman one time who couldn't cook at the fuck all BUT wanted a family in the near future tell me she expected the man to help with the cooking after coming home from working all day EVEN if she was a full time mom not working. Bitches be fuckin crazy. Lord almighty.

As for main topic:

I can cook but I prefer stuff that requires little/no cooking just for time and convenience reasons. Nothing exciting but it does the job. Eating healthy is easier than ever without much cooking and only requires a slight premium in cost. Also as alluded to, I see cooking nice meals regularly primarily as a woman's duty. If I were to settle down, she/kids would be provided for so I expect nice home cooked meals daily. So, that's partially a bit of reason I don't invest as much time into cooking as well.
