Try some fb groups or simple recipes and there is nothing wrong with him joining you in cooking. Maybe he should see that it takes time to learn.
Try hello fresh or Pinterest as previously suggested
Don’t be submissive - if he has that attitude make him cook dinner

I think it’s great you want to learn new things to try. However, I do not think its great that you’re doing it for HIS benefit! Do it for you! He is grown. Tell him to cook his own food if he’s gonna be a douche canoe about it. I am all for learning new things. Not about learning them to benefit ungrateful ass hats!
There’s a great recipe called ‘like it or lump it mate’
This isn’t the 1950s, he can always cook

Wow, the poster asks for helps to improve her cooking skills.
And many of the responses are not helpful.
Suggestion that she be happy with poor to mediocre cooking skills or to stop cooking entirely, or tell him he should be grateful for awful cooking, eat what he is given or go without rather than to try to improve.
Wow, just wow…

What are his favorite meals … Do spins on that. What does he order at restaurants? What r your regular meals. Do you have kids to feed too? Ask him to teach you or ask his mom what he likes… Get tips from her. And dont feel embarrassed to ask… She will see you are trying to make your husband/ her son happy.
Cooking with love the food tastes better lol 
Not but seriously i think you should just watch your measurements and don’t over cook your food there’s a lot of YouTube recipes and Pinterest and Fb,Ig Tik Tok don’t let nothing get to you not everyone is good at cooking 
and it’s okay! Hang in there

A few things that helped me massively is don’t ever put salt into what you’re cooking until it’s DONE and then add little by little until it’s right at the end. Also, over-mixing things can make it mushy. And using butter or margarine keeps food from sticking to the bottom of a pan. You almost never have to use high heat. Just above the medium temperature is usually the go to. When you cover food with a lid, don’t allow the steam to fall back into your pan or pot. Have a dishrag next to your stove at all times and wipe things constantly. But do this for YOURSELF and not for that ape, okay?
What doesn’t he like about the way you cook? Do you overcook the meat? Is it not seasoned enough?

All the women just telling her to be disrespectful to her man. Has it occurred to you she’s trying to make her husband happy because she’s a good wife? From a man’s perspective of you catch that attitude or tell me to cook myself after working all day Is ask you why I bother with you if you don’t care about me. That being said, see if you can find out about what his mother used to cook that’s normally what I return to even as an adult. I mine simple things like Goulash, hamburger steaks, smothered pork chops and tamale pie.

Mexican casserole
I eyeball everything.
Depends how many people you’re cooking for. Brown some ground beef I usually do about two pounds. add whatever seasonings you like. My favorites are garlic salt seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, sometimes I’ll throw in dehydrated minced onion. Seasoning salt, little bit of red pepper flakes, black pepper, Taco seasoning add about quarter cup water and cook it.
Add
1 can of kidney beans (rinse)
1 can of crushed tomatoes
1 little can of green chilies
1 can of Mexico r or regular corn. I use what I have on hand.
1 small can of tomato sauce
Mix it all in and cook it for about 10-15 minutes so all the flavors cook in. When I cook with canned tomatoes I alway add a teaspoon of white sugar. It cuts acidity. Try for it see if you like how it’s seasoned. And if you need to add anything else.
Transfer into 9 by 13 baking pan. Sprinkle about two cups or more of cheese on top. I use cheddar, mexi cheese or Colby. Just whatever you prefer.
Then take the crescent dough. Put it on top. Stretch it out so it fits. You can even use a rolling pin to flatten it more. Put it on top. Put in preheated oven at 350 until golden brown.
It’s delicious. So easy and fast. Makes good leftovers to

I am baker has great easy to follow recipes.
Pinterest is the best place for recipes, add simple or easy at the end to help limit options, and avoid complicated recipes with 10+ ingredients. Beware of your cooking temp (350 or 400 to bake, I set my stove to 6 usually but 7 if I’m frying). Paprika, garlic power, onion powder, and pepper are my favorite seasonings to use, also a couple shakes of crushed red pepper to add a little kick. I wait to salt until the end. Once you find out what you both like it’ll get easier, good luck!

It really just depends what he likes… what type of meat he likes or doesn’t like, certain spices or flavors… ask him if you haven’t already. My husband is super picky. When I cook something and he’s not a fan, I ask him what he doesn’t like about it or what would make it better and that had helped a lot.
What nationality is he. Just saying because my husband’s Mexican and I’m Puerto Rican and we eat a whole different food than they do

Hire him his own personal chef 
I take a oven safe pot. Take some either regular chicken thighs and trim the fat or boneless skinless thighs. (Thigh work best for this)
I put them in the pot. The intake about 3-4 potatoes and cut them into really thin wedges. I mean like really thin. Put them in the pot. I add my favorite seasoning. Seasoning salt, garlic salt and parsley mixture, pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic powder. Onion powder, I also use mustard powder in all my recipes. Then I add a little fire oil. You can use regular oil. Just enough to coat everything. I mix everything well so everything is coated in seasoning. The I put the potatoes on the bottom and the thighs on top skin down. Cover and put it in the 400 degrees pre heated oven. In about 30 minutes. I pull it out. Mix everything put the chicken chicken skin up cover and put back in the oven for about another 30 minutes. Sometimes I’ll uncover last 10 minutes so the skin browns.
You can eat it as is. The potatoes are so tender since they are cut so thin. Or you can eat with some good bread or for a more filling mean serve over steamed rice.
Get an air fryer. And rice cooker.
It helps so much but don’t put in the high heat setting.
Learn how to cook rice, mash potatoes, pasta.
Side dishes help complet a meal.
For example:
Rice…. Can get rice a roni… just follow the instructions
Follow a cookbook while learning how to cook and don’t free style cooking when ur learning. After ur comfortable, then u can do ur own recipes.
A lot of the time it may not taste good Becuz it was over cooked, no salt/garlic onion or too much water.
A good chicken soup recipe:
Chicken breast in a lot of water fill with water till it’s covered.
You have to add: a handful of cilantro, few garlic cloves, half of an onion and a tomato, 3-4 tablespoons of salt. Boil that… it will smell delicious!
After the chicken is cooked add the veggies.
Meanwhile skin the carrots and potatoes and cut them in decent small pieces, u can add celery, or corn. Only cook veggies for 30 min on med high. U can add egg noodles curls if u want.
Take the chicken out and decide in smaller pieces.
Or u can pour a half cup-full cup of rice… made either chicken noodle soup or cream of rice chicken soup if u as a bit of cream.
Another recipe with that broth from that chicken soup:
You can use the broth to make yummy rice.
Always put a qt of onion and a piece of garlic when cooking rice. Use the broth instead of water. Add chicken bouillon and some frozen veggies. 1 cup rice to 2 broth ratio. Cook on simmer. Don’t mix too much. Cover it.
Taquitos or fajitas:
Shredded chicken from what u boiled.
Heat up corn tortillas wrapped in a towel in microwave for 1.5 min. Soft. Put shredded chicken in tortilla and roll /hold together with Toothpick. Make several.
Heat up oil in a pan. Put each taquitos until golden brown.
Serve with sour cream or guacamole.
As for fajitas, slice bell peppers very thinly also onion slices. Then u add garlic salt and pepper, paprika. Add the shredded or thinly chopped chicken.
Also olive oil. You can sprinkle a bit of chicken bouillon and mix well.
Get a can of beans always heat up and spurce up with a piece of oil, olive oil and garlic. It brings it to life!
With the broth u can make lentil soup or any kind of soup. Always add garlic and onion, salt. Pinch of Chicken or tomato bouillon. Add veggies.
You can do make a chicken salad with the same chicken. Shredded and add can of veggies, chopped up dill or cilantro. Mayo.
Always cook the chicken with those ingredients … not just with salt and water.It makes a huge difference!
Steak quesadilla:
Get flour tortillas , shredded cheese.
Freeze the pan with butter-makes a huge difference in taste.
Steak season with salt and pepper… cook to liking with oil or butter.
When u get a pasta sauce, always spruce it up by adding spices and bit of sugar.
Hope this helps

First of all you need to tell him how you feel when he criticize your cooking. You are making an effort and he should support you. If there is certain thing you want to cook like spaghetti, just go to YouTube type in how to make spaghetti and you will see many videos. That goes for almost any type of food you want to make. Good luck!

Try simple things like roasts and stuff in a crock pot with potatoes and carrots the key to a good roast is seasoning and cook time. And a crockpot makes that so easy or a Dutch oven on the stove if you don’t mind having it hot in the house.
Pork shoulders (if you eat pork) or a good boneless chuck roast, get super tender over night.
Put in the crock pot only fill broth, stock, or water half way up the meat so the other half is still above the water. Season thoroughly, my favorite everything seasoning for meat is Cavenders.
Cook on medium heat over night, pork will take a bit longer probably 10-12 hours to get really tender.
The beef may take about 8 hours depending on the size.
You can throw some potatoes in there cubed up. Not the full length of cook time maybe half. Or your choice of sides.
If y’all like pork ribs I can tell you get a slab or two of ribs (baby back my preference).
Make sure you remove the membrane from the underside. (YouTube videos of need) I make my own rub, coat the ribs in yellow mustard top and bottom, mix together brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder. Coat the ribs heavily. (The mustard is a binder) wrap well with two layers of foil bake in the oven on 350 for 3 hours covered. Open the foil coat in barbecue and place back in the oven for about 30 minutes to get the barbecue caramelized. I’m telling you the will fall off the bone.
Try making some specialty burgers or something season well sauté Some bell peppers, onions and spinach in some salted butter top and melt some good cheese on there like a Gouda something gooey like that.
Normally I’d stuff them with the ingredients maybe those sautéed veggies and some bleu cheese crumbles.
Get a good bun like a brioche that will help make it look and taste much better. Brioche are dense and really soft and slightly sweet.
“Tacos” are simple but you can really set them off with some fresh made pico de gallo (can find recipe anywhere), and also combining your own seasoning instead of store bought pouches. Chili powder (lots), cumin, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano (light), and a bit of tomato paste and water. These are Americanized obviously I’ve not conquered much beyond Americanized foods myself lol
Also google can be you friend if your unsure about how long to cook things especially meats cook temps and completion temps, getting a digital meat thermometer can be a life saver if you’re over cooking meat because you’re afraid it’s under cooked.
Online recipes can help big time also just to get some ideas and outlines how to make something.
I also make some simple sides like asparagus in the oven on a sheet pan let them out slice some salted butter lightly salt dust with Parmesan or use grated parmesan for about 20- 25 minutes on 350.
And you can slice up yellow squash and zucchini and treat it the same way.
Cheesy broccoli rice casserole I use two boil in bag minute rice white or brown, 1 can cream chicken, eyeball the (boil a few minutes first) broccoli, in a bowl or pan melt some American cheese slices probably 6 1/4 stick of butter, 1/3 block of cream cheese and a 1/4 cup of heavy cream, whisk together. Mix the cream of chicken and the cheese sauce mixture into the rice and broccoli, in a baking dish too with shredded cheese cover with foil and put in the over on 350 for about 30 minutes.
Stuffed mushrooms (I don’t care for mushrooms but my guy likes them) remove stems and wash, mix up cream cheese fresh or dried chives and stuff in the center, wrap bacon around the mushroom not over the center just the circumference, toothpicks to hold in place, bake about 20 minutes on 350, on a sheet pan, remove, top each with shredded cheese and bake about 15-20 minutes. I hate mushrooms but I can eat a couple of these.
We could go into frying chicken but it’s not everyone’s thing and frying chicken at home on the stove is a whole other ball game than frying in an industrial fryer took me awhile.
But I make some pretty good fried chicken or garlic Parmesan wings (those are my guys favorite) says my sauce is almost as good as Buffalo Wild Wings. 
I could probably go on forever in more of a comfort food kind of way. I worked in a diner kitchen for more than 13 years started when I was 15. Been a stay at home mom for the last year I’m 30 now soon to be 31. I think my cooking is my S.Os favorite thing about me.
I roast some vegetables in the oven and my family can’t get enough of them. You could do broccoli or cauliflower together or separate. All you need is garlic salt and olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes, then mix and give another 20 minutes. I do the same with asparagus. Very tasty.
Cook together…follow a recipe…if he still complains…then eat your own meal and but him some frozen meals…light some candles. Create some ambiance…set the mood when you surprise him with good recipe…then if he still complains do the suggestion I said about frozen meals
