I'm in the same boat much of the time, WK. I love cooking. I'm usually pretty damn good at it.
And people will ask me to, but in my situation, I usually offer to bring something because I don't have to do it every day. If I did, then it would be a whole different ballgame. I don't know that I would still enjoy cooking for my loved one/ones.
When it comes to eating the food, I find much less enjoyment in consumption than production. Part of my issue is my own body image and looking at my portion sizes, when I have been tasting somewhat most of the time to make sure I've got things right.
Part of it is that I just don't like to eat much anymore. After I've labored and put all of my emotion into the activity (that I choose and LOVE to do), I'm kinda drained.
I eat because my body needs it and/or to be sociable. But the best part to me is the production part and watching others enjoy the food.
