no just in genral she cant cook
well, you can almost spell general, so am assuming you are old enough to go near the range?
not to be mean, but first posts sound very childlike?
I have recipes my kids could make at home alone at ten, but the pantry had what was needed. and they had specific instructions as to what heat souce they could use.
so whad up???

Do you yourself enjoy cooking- or the idea of cooking?
Does your Mum not enjoy cooking/eating?
We could offer recipe ideas/hints- but knowing you/your Mum's general interest level would be a help.
My experience is most folks who enjoy eating enjoy cooking- at least on some level.
If no one in the home is really into wrestlin' w/ groceries that's no big deal. Not everyone has that interest. There are ways around at least getting one's required nourishment. Most grocery stores/markets offer ready-made items that require simple re-heating or that can be eaten cold... and delis with dishes one can purchase packaged-up and ready to serve.
So what's the degree of inability we're talkin' about in your/your Mum's case? Give us a target to aim for and we'll do our dangedest to zero-in and assist!
By the way- welcome to our forum! We always enjoy meeting new people and making new friends. You offer us a fine challenge and we look forward to being able to help...

Here is what you do, take it all with humor.
Tie your mum to a chair facing the TV. Use duct tape due to it's high adhesive quality and using small strips tape your Mum's eyelids open.
Turn the TV to the Food Network station. Adjust the volume to your Mum's hearing level. If you can check your local listings for the PBS stations check to see if any Rachel Ray cooking marathons will be playing and if so, use them to your advantage. Rachel really jams a lot of information into a 30 minute show so during a marathon I'm thinking information over load.
When you believe that your Mum's not cooking spirit has broke untie her carefully. Release her hands and feet last just incase she was faking and wants to seak revenge.
If she goes into the kitchen to whip something up, job well done. If she returns carrying a cast iron skillet and beans you in the head with it, very good.Mission accomplished. Always respect your Mum.

Is this for real?? someone playing a joke on us???
Look - if you have a question about something - we are more than happy to help. ditto if you need recipes, etc.
Ask for specifics - if not - buy a cookbook - like Betty Crocker or Good Housekeeping - one that is well known and has everything in it. That will help.
You're on the computer - type your question in the SEARCH - you'll find an answer somewhere.
If this is a game - move on.

Hey Friend,
We're waiting on more specifics from you. "She can't cook- how can I make it better?" is no help to us. Cooking is far more complicated than that.
What does she make that's lousy? If you offer examples, maybe we can get specific.
We're generous to folks who ask for help- thing is- folks need to know how to ask for that help!
Are her hamburgers terrible? Perhaps it's the type of ground beef- whether it's fresh or frozen- or maybe she's cooking them too long and pressing all the juice out of them- making them dry.
Does her spaghetti sauce suck? Well, if so, we have an Italian mama here who's a real PRO at marinara sauce, bolognese and others- she will be a wealth of info to you!
Is her Thanksgiving turkey dry? Almost anyone here could offer hints to assist.
Her pies, cakes and cookies dry? Many fantastic bakers here.
Just ask, buddy! Just ask... There's no ONE remedy for ALL foods and dishes- so you must be specific.

I smell a rat here - you call yourself cookinmama??? But your mama can't cook? Like that makes sense. About as much sense as your posts. How old are you? Your English needs a hevuva lot of help! Get off the computer and hit the books! I don't care how old you are - learn to communicate properly.

We should be careful, though. Afterall, we've been wrong a time or two recently- and only learned so after we popped-off!
If this person is indeed a juvenile- we owe them some supportful patience.
Not a thing in the world wrong w/ erring on the side of caution.
Now... cookinmama. Ball's in YOUR court. If you can revise your initial query and give our group some fortified specifics, we just might be able to assist. But I'm sure you'll agree looking back over what you've offered so far that you've been too vague for us to really offer much. Hurry, now- your window of time is fast growing short!
