The author recounts his experience after his wife vowed to stop cooking six years ago. Initially, he took on the responsibility without complaint, but as time passed and their sons returned home during the pandemic, meal preparation for five became cumbersome. Now cooking for just two has proven more challenging due to his wife's picky eating habits. The narrative captures the humorous yet relatable frustrations of preparing meals while balancing personal preferences and household dynamics, culminating in an evening of cooking complexities between pork medallions and a stir-fried broccoli dish.
When my wife declared she would never cook again, I accepted the challenge of meal preparation, navigating her increasingly fussy food preferences while recalling earlier dynamics.
Cooking for five during the pandemic presented its own challenges, but managing meals for just two now, with differing tastes, has become significantly more complex.
