Does anyone here cook food you don't like? And if you do how do you check to make sure it tastes "nice"?

For an example if you were making a bowl of hummus for a party you are having with friends, and you dislike it, how would you make sure it was edible for the others that are not there yet?

Just something I am curious about.

Not really. There are things I cook which i don't like very much, but I will still eat it if there is nothing else going. Im not keen on baked beans, but my husband loves them ... so I heat a tin up occasionally. But I would cook an elaborate dinner full of stuff I don't like.

Well I'm a veggie and my husband isn't. So, I go by judgement and ask him to taste/check seasoning etc. my worst nightmare is lamb, kidneys etc! It stinks! He's banned from cooking certain fish/squid etc - outdoors only! Luckily we have a pizza oven, BBQ & gas cooker or I'd be washing net curtains for a week, not to mention the litres of Zoflora!

I'm a veggie too and husband isn't so either he has to taste it or I just go by what it looks and smells like.

I hate the taste of fish but I have cooked it for friends before, and that was my problem, I had no idea if it tasted ok

My mrs is almost veggie and I am not but I won't expect my mrs to cook meat.

I don't drink tea so if anybody wants a cup of tea and I am making then its pot luck if its any good or not.

Presumably you'd ask one of the guests to taste it first to see if it needed tweaking

I always have to cook a roast dinner when my in laws come round for dinner as they're pretty unadventurous when it comes to food. I aways end up doing a goat curry or steak chilli for me, my missus and my daughter.

According to hubby the things I cook best are the things I make for him that i don't like! My mushroom soup is his favourite soup ever, and the other week I made him a lamb curry that he said was out of the world. I don't like either.

Also, his friends think he's totally "spoiled" by me cos I make food for him that I don't like. Doesn't seem spoiled for me.
