That kinda makes me go hmmmm.

Anyway, I too am the cook for the family. All celebrations, holidays and just when they want to get together.

I think part of not wanting to eat what you cook is because you cook all the time, you get to eat the type of food you want all the time so what you are making isn't special.

It's special to those you are cooking for because they don't eat like that every day. That's why they ask you to cook, they know what you will make them will be spectacular and it's "new" to them. But to you it's not.

That and all the tasting, correcting seasonings etc. will make you not hungry when the meal is finished.

For those of us who cook, the fun is in the cooking, and watching others enjoy the fruits of our labor, not in the eating.
