I do always ask him when I make something new if he likes it and I warn him not to lie because if he says he likes it I will be making it regularly.
This is us. DH loves some of the things I make, tolerates some, and dislikes some (that sadly I've mostly lived without since marrying the man, like curries). I try to cater to his likes within reason (avoiding onion-heavy dishes), but he knows very well that complaints will get him the job.
Not particularly but neither do I lol. He is a fantastic and very creative cook. Me, not so much. I can bake and occasionally execute a recipe for dinner well but not often. He is generally the cook in our house for this reason.
