My Wife Can't Cook
She's taken courses and even had private
tutoring. She can't cook. I cook most of our meals and on
days I'm so knackered after work, I bring home Take-Out. She thinks
she's a good cook and I haven't the heart to tell her why I always take
over in te kitchen. Her grub is inedible.

You sound like a dear husband who
genuinely cares about his wife's feelings. Seems you're ready to
choke the "grub" down just to save her feeling bad about
herself.
Perhaps you could try the course
routine again, giving her a course for her birthday or holidays.
You could leave good and simple
cookbooks around.
You could try letting your wall down
and cook together. Pour you each a glass of wine and enjoy the
time spent. She could make the salad while you cook. The
arrangements are endless. There are likely things she may be
adequate or even good at, like chopping or sautéing.
Find each of your best strengths and
weaknesses. Use this as a way to be together in a relaxed and
loving way.
Use it as a whole new start.
