What's with husbands and their unending love for their mom's cooking?! :) On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate my mil's cooking to be 9 on the taste-scale, 4 on the health-scale and 5 on ease of preparation. While I rate my cooking to be 8 on taste, 7 on health and 7 on ease of process. The husband mostly agrees with my scoring as well. Yet he will profess his love for his mom's cooking even before the vada she is deep frying turns the slightest shade of golden brown. ;-) At the same time if I used as much oil or coconut or masala in my cooking I'll be gently admonished by the hubby for cooking and eating unhealthy. He gets away with it if I'm willing to humor him but most other times he gets a "oh, yeah? No vada for you" and that usually sets him right until his mom fries the next batch of vadas. :)

    Hehe. He is in fact extremely unbiased in every other way except the food preference. :)

    My husband dislikes his mum's cooking and most of the times he says "i'm not hungry" when his mum serves him um, supper. She's a terrible cook and her style of supper is to dump everything that she could grab in the kitchen in a pot and voila, supper is ready!

    I'm not into cooking that much but I love cooking good food for my husband. He loves it! I try to balance healthy and tasty meals though at times, we indulge in rich desserts:P
