I think you need to address why cooking sucks for you. Do you know how to cook properly? My wife isn’t a big fan and that’s mainly as she doesn’t know what goes well together and doesn’t know how to use herbs and spices so needs recipes to tell her how to make most foods, especially initially.
It’s quite easy to throw something healthy together. Eg. Had a chicken breast, stir fry veg and rice meal tonight. Rubbed a spice mix on the chicken and threw it in the air fryer for 20 mins, cup of washed rice in some water (to just over top of finger nail) cooked covered on low for 12 mins and left to steam for 5-10mins with cooktop off and then fry up some pre-cut stir fry veg - convenient, quick and not much more expensive. Throw a sauce like chutney or honey-soy (or bbq) on it and happy days. Doesn’t have to be hard, doesn’t have to cost a lot, doesn’t have to take long and doesn’t have to be bad for you. But this is something I would do, my wife probably wouldn’t.
Sitting down with the family and eating a meal is also good bonding time and helps mental health.
I know you mean well but this is so condescending, wtf? It is bizarre how many people on this thread are acting like it is an actual impossibility for someone else to not enjoy something simply because others like it. I don’t even hate cooking but it’s so weird how everyone is INSISTING that no, this person must be confused when they state they don’t like a task that is broadly considered a chore by many. ??? What is happening? I’m sure there are many things that they enjoy that you might not because we all enjoy different things.
Do I? I just don’t like it, it’s boring. You tell me what’s so great about it instead.
I could cook some food that I very much enjoy if I want to. That’s not the problem. It’s just not worth the effort.
I’m assuming you see food as sustenance and little more. Question, do you smoke or have you ever noticed/been told you don’t have much of a sense of smell?
I’m not saying I don’t get food out - we do once a week usually. And sometimes I just can’t be arsed to cook so we have cheat meals (bowl of ramen, sanga, something on toast etc.) but it’s always a good feeling, both physically and mentally, to prepare a meal and eat it. Honestly, it’s the mental side that is most important in this. You can eat healthy out (assuming those making the food are using quality produce) but it’s a) going to cost a lot which is another mental drain b) doesn’t give you the dopamine hit of making something great yourself so it’s another mental drain.
I mean yes. But I also absolutely love good food. Eating it though, not making it. My sense of taste/smell is not the issue.
