I tend to agree. When I got married I knew nothing. But after some harsh comments I had to speed up my learning. Comments such as : what was ur mom thinking by not teaching u these things?, weren't u ever planning on getting married?, did u think all ur life u will be eating out?  Trust me friends if we all put our mind to it we can all cook well. Just keep trying. And just create a cooking style of your own. never try to copy a certain person's style/ taste of cooking - be creative , come up with your own stuff that most say is tasty etc. keep trying to do things differently. eventually u will get a feel for it and you will be the best at it!

In my opinion, destructive criticism plays a major role in improvising your interest towards cooking. Some may be intentional while some comes in as a joke, whatever it might be.. the more when someone attacks you, the more it shoots up the grudge, which inturn makes you show more interest towards that act to prove yourself. This is very true when it comes to cooking. Trust me!!!Yeah!! I get it, truth sucks!
Well you can try few of these tips oops!! tricks ... to see what happens.
1. When cooking something new, always have another attractive stuff to serve along. This makes them taste both with the same attitude.
2. When introducing strange unfamiliar veggies, make a small portion, sample it before serving. You must probably know your families taste and can judge what possible comments could shell out. If its too horrible quickly toss it in trash.
3. Never try new items for guests, do what your good at. Show off!
4. Cooking is fun, never fear to try something, this develops a wrong or negative attitute towards cooking. Hey what the heck?, if your trials turn out to be an alien mold, there's always a trash can next to the kitchen.
5. Just ask for a menu, if there's no answer, just tell them what youre going to make but later surprise them with something different. This will atleast bring a smile on their face.
6. Sadhana, don't mistake me! never ask for comments. Always ask them whether the salt and spice is right. This wil make them comment automatically.
7. Serve when they are really hungry.
8. Small gestures play another role. Just simply pamper, ask them about their day, gentle hug...blah blah blah.. definitely you would be pampered back.
9. Keep it simple, appealing and pretty much homestyle. Reserve those oh ahaaa dishes for special occassions.
10. Just tell them frankly how much hard work you put into making this dish, any good person will for sure would understand. You may not be showered with praises but will atleast recieve a pat. That paves way for your next drastic attempt.

These are my wild wicked tricks, some work and some don't.. Motivation and interest comes from applauce, which we all deserve once in a while. If that's not happening then atleast make them realize. What do you think? How many of you are in the game????
