I’m with you. You can absolutely have two people in the kitchen… But only one can be in charge. My wife and I love cooking together, but if it is her meal or baking then she’s in charge. I do things her way, and I stay out of the way if I need to. It can’t be a competition or battle of wills. Someone leads, and someone willingly swallows their pride and washes the excessive number of measuring spoons or chops celery finer than they personally prefer it, or stands-by patiently while their partner curses at the recipe being half in metric and half imperial measurements.
I’m glad you and your wife were able to share that. Or whatever version of that was yours.
Yeah. It was a lot like that. She’d find a recipe to try, or want one of her favorites, and I’d just ask her how she wanted things chopped and prepped.
