6 tips to keep cooking fun together

We like to cook with others, having fun with friends or a cooking club, but we don't like being in the kitchen with our partner. Does it always end in a fight? Keep it cozy from now on with these tips.

1. Cook based on a recipe
This way you avoid disagreements about ingredients and quantities. Let each other taste in between. Most people (61%) find their recipes online, but cookbooks, magazines, recipe cards and the recipes of friends are also popular.

2. Divide the tasks
Divide different parts of the recipe so that you don't interfere too much.

3. Make it quality time
Cooking together can provide quality time. In the meantime, catch up on your day.

4. Keep the kitchen tidy
Clean up the used kitchen utensils immediately, so that there is enough work space.

5. Take each other's suggestions seriously
Try not to annoy each other. Accept it if your partner does something different than you would. And take each other's suggestions seriously.

6. Practice makes perfect
Keep cooking together every now and then. You will become more attuned to each other and your cooking skills will improve.
