[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize this sounds snarky, but if you've been unable to show him how to cut up vegetables, brown meat, bake chicken, etc., why do you think he'll attend and get something out of cooking lessons?  Shouldn't you start at home with him first?[/quote]

Not the OP, but not all spouses (male or female) deal well with spousal instruction.

I'm a certified instructor in another subject matter (think photography, golf, etc); DH is a hobbyist in that particular area.  When he needs an instructor, he hires someone else.  We've tried having me instruct him, and it just doesn't work for either of us.  We work together great on most other things - housework etc - but we just can't reconcile the spousal relationship with the professional instructor/student relationship.  Same reason some people won't take their spouse's medical advice, but will accept the exact same advice from a doctor.

Plus, at home, there would be all the normal distractions of kids, chores, etc.  It can be hard to focus on something like this at home.  Part of the point is to get out of the house and focus on it for a couple of hours.  And maybe DH will learn something cool that DW doesn't even know!  Or at least have some different tricks so that "his" meals aren't just copies of "her" meals.

Sorry, OP, I don't have any recommendations for specific cooking classes - have never taken one myself - but I think it's an awesome idea.   Get him to also package up a few coupons that you can redeem later for him to cook dinner :).[/quote]
