With an extra set of hands to help out, you can finally tackle that tricky recipe you saved on Instagram.
Something fancy and fabulous, based on the amazing dish you shared on your last night in Paris.
You have no idea how to pronounce it, but it sure smells good.
Following the latest recipe in your meal-kit subscription (including all the pre-prepped ingredients—score!).
1 / 7
It’s date night and you’re staying in to cook. What are you making?
You’re both kind of new at this whole thing, to be honest.
You’d be ordering in dinner if it weren’t for your culinary vision.
You prefer following directions, basically doing whatever you’re asked.
You’ve been known to butt heads over who’s in charge.
2 / 7
Let’s get real…who’s calling the shots in the kitchen?
You go with a list in hand, but your other half is an impulse shopper. How did Cap’n Crunch end up in your cart?
Divide and conquer: You hit up the produce aisle, while your S.O. gets the pantry staples.
You trust your partner to get everything you’ll need, while you scope out the snacks at checkout.
You’re like kids in a candy store: Where do you start? Everything looks so good!
3 / 7
Describe a typical trip to the grocery store together.
Everyone expects your famous mushroom risotto, so you’ll enlist your mate’s help to stir.
One of you will pick up some cheese, the other crackers and fruit. Together you arrange a pretty photogenic cheese board.
You’re secretly just hoping your partner will handle it.
After texting each other recipes for days, you’ve finally agreed on a classic beef bourguignon.
4 / 7
You’re invited to a potluck. What’s the game plan?
The two of you laugh it off and crack open a package of crescent rolls instead.
Oops—you knew you forgot something. You offer to wash the dishes to make up for it.
Sigh. You gave your partner one job. Oh well, at least there’s pasta.
Scrape off the black part, melt some Asiago on top, drizzle it with olive oil. Boom: cheesy bread.
5 / 7
Oh no! The garlic bread is burnt. What’s your reaction?
To find you dutifully chopping vegetables while your partner tends the stove.
The best meal of their lives (or at least their week).
To order pizza. Won’t they be surprised when they see you both cooked instead?
To get roped into helping out in the kitchen—you’re a bit of a taskmaster.
6 / 7
When friends come over for dinner, they’re expecting:
You both try to clean as you go.
One of you does most of the cooking, while the other cleans.
Does “pile everything in the sink and deal with it tomorrow” count as a strategy?
7 / 7
Time for cleanup. What’s your strategy?
RETAKE QUIZ

Even if you tend to let your S.O. take the lead in the kitchen, that doesn't mean your contributions aren't important. Own your role by asking questions, helping where you can and learning as you go. Soon you'll be the one making date night dinner.

Your couple cooking style:
A cookware set with three versatile basics (fry, sauté and sauce pans) is all you need to get started.

So neither of you have mastered the art of cooking just yet, but the important thing is that you’re learning together. Not only will all that time in the kitchen help you grow even closer, it can also make you happier and healthier. Continue encouraging each other, and you’ll be seasoned pros before you know it.
Cullinary Newbies
A comprehensive set with two fry pan sizes and two sauté pan sizes will give you plenty of options for the multistep recipes you regularly whip up.

It’s obvious you both know your way around the kitchen. But just because you can julienne carrots without batting an eye, doesn’t necessarily mean you work perfectly as a team—yet. To avoid stepping on each other’s toes, assign recipe tasks before you begin and establish your own designated work stations.
Well Seasoned Pros
All-Clad stainless 10-piece nonstick set
You might be skilled enough to whip up a gourmet meal with zero notice, but your partner is another story. Luckily, you’re more than willing to show them the ropes (especially if it means they’ll mince the garlic). Just remember to be patient with their missteps and practice communicating calmly and clearly.
