BarbarianElephant posted:The situation is that I cook all the food but my work hours are changing, so my husband wants to learn. Therefore we would like a simple, everyday cookbook so that we can continue to eat healthy homecooked food together as a family. https://www.amazon.com/Americas-Kit...family+cookbook It has estimated times for each recipe. I think it will help, but I think the biggest factor will be your husband coming up to your speed. Rex-Goliath hit it on the head with timing in multi-dish meals. I recommend initially starting with either one meal dishes using prepared ingredients (e.g., spaghetti with jarred sauce and frozen meatballs) or for multi-dish meals, focusing on cooking dish and supplementing with dishes that don't demand a lot of attention. For example, cooking burgers or roasting chicken breast tenders while microwaving frozen vegetables (I like Green Giant's unsauced veggies) and maybe a stovetop (Knorr) pasta or rice dish. Spend time on the one-dish concentration to attain comfort/mastery then when he's comfortable, get the timing aspect down with two at a time and so on. And as a beginner cook, help him reduce stress he may have of replacing your expertise by accepting the mantra all cooks do which is, "If I can't make this work, I'll order takeout.".
