Well,I’ d say in my family we all chip in to do the cooking, since everyone has owe preference dishes to contribute to the dinner table, we would rather let the person to do. For example,my dad is good at sea food, he buys many kinds of sea products, like crabs, fish or so, all of them are my favourite. And my mom‘s dumplings is so tasty and juicy, filling with shrimps and chives, that so delicious. As for me. I love to prepared some salad. I am not the kind of person who handle most of the cooking,but I am always willing to have delicious meals with my family.

Overall, your response is good! Just be careful with the plural form of “seafood” instead of “sea food,” and “filled” instead of “filling.” Keep up the good work!
My wife handles most of the cooking at home. I’d say that she’s a superb cook as she can prepare a lot of dishes in just an hour. She also love baking cakes and pastries. But when my wife is at work, I do all the cooking alone. Every time I cook, my wife would tell me thay my cooking style is better than her and she loves to eat a lot. Well actually, I also love cooking since I was trained to cook for my relatives in the country side when I was in my middle school. I also love to try new recipes from magazines and on the internet.
Your answer is quite good, but there are a few errors that need to be corrected:
1. “loves” should be “loves”
2. “thay” should be “that”
3. “country side” should be “countryside”
Corrected answer:
“My wife handles most of the cooking at home. I’d say that she’s a superb cook as she can prepare a lot of dishes in just an hour. She also loves baking cakes and pastries.

Keep up the good work! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. Good luck with your IELTS preparation!
