So are you the veg grower and the veg cook in your house?
If not, does the cook have to make do with whatever the grower produces or do they have a say over what is grown for the kitchen?

There's an intermediate stage too - Picker - the person who picks what is growing to use in the meal.
The Cook may have to design the meal around whatever the Picker harvests.

I’m grower & 1 of the cooks. Bob also does a lot of the cooking. He doesn’t get a say in what’s grown.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

I grow and pick, we share cooking duties. Neither of us are fussy eaters so most things can be prepared and eaten without problem. Jen was a little surprised when I turned in from gardening with a globe artichoke grown from the garden. I was instructed to cook that, but she happily helped eat it.

I am grower, picker and cook (once a pro many moons ago).
MrPP is the pasta machine operator and the tortilla roller and makes better crêpes than me. He gets a say in what we eat, but usually along the lines of do you want this or that.
He gets a hard stare come August when he asks what courgette are we having for dinner tonight ...

I am the grower/picker and cook. My husband generally eats whatever is put in front of him although he does sometimes get a choice of 2 or 3 dishes. There is always something I have grown on the plate (fresh or from the freezer). I write the shopping lists but if my husband shops with me lots of extras go in the trolley. On occasion I look at my trolley and think it looks so unhealthy.....very little fruit and veg in there.
