My concern is; wont she think i'm competing & distracting her in the kitchen? Moreso, she's also an excellent cook.

From the day we got married, my wife and I have cooked alternate nights. We both enjoy cooking, we both enjoy the feeling of looking after the other one, providing for them, taking care over what they'll eat - and we both appreciate the days when we don't have to worry, just sit down and enjoy a plate of something delicious!
I'm sure if she's reasonable that she'll be happy with some similar arrangement. If you'll be working and she tends the house, she might like to cook more often to feel she's contributing - but in that case, why not suggest you cook at weekends, and maybe one day in the week as her "evening off"?
You're certainly best off establishing it now, not waiting until later when she'll think it's because you can't stand her cooking!

You have to understand that everyone is different and communication before the I-do's is very important. You could cook and have the arrangement that she will just clean, however, that can get very old very quickly and I wouldn't suggest it. You should really combine your interests for cooking together. Come up with new recipes that you both input your taste on and cook as a couple and clean as a couple. Even though you think you know her, post wedding arguments seem to be very common and it takes just the slightest "you should know me better than that" to spark a huge misunderstanding. ASK HER if it would be ok for you to cook a meal twice a week, and compromise your ability to control the situation on days where you really want to cook something by helping her make it.
Talk it through and I am sure you will be a better husband for it.
Good Luck and happy cooking!

If you love to cook and she loves to cook then you must both be very passionate about cooking :) theres nothing wrong with a bit of friendly competition in the kitchen, and im sure that she wont mind having her husband as a new distraction :) your future wife can be your new cooking partner as well as your life partner ;) Think of the food ideas you can share and the delicious meals you can make together :)

I am male, and love to cook. My wife, hates cooking but loves a good dinner like the rest of us. Perfect match right?
Wrong.
Most woman will tell you, "Oh wow a man that cooks! Where can I find him?" But they don't realize what comes with that.
When you cook, you're going to make a mess. While it's true many woman hate to cook, it's also true most woman are neat freaks. And when they see you start going to town, even if you are being clean, they follow you around with a towel in their hand. And they get aggrivated.
I don't have an answer for you competing part, that mght be more of a cultural thing. But competitions can be fun, make a game out of it where the winner gets 'special' prizes. .. wink wink.

Why you have this question in your mind and post it here??? Is your wife-to-be a strong, very competing and love-to-win type of person? If so, then you should bring this "issure" up and explain to her.
As you two both enjoy cooking, it would be good that you two can share the fun in kitchen. Or when one of you are sick, the other still can cook something better than any take-out crappy food to comfort the sick one.
Congratulation!

I think she will appreciate it knowing that Someone is cooking for her. What if she cannot cook then that's OK maybe if she is a good cook then you share it. Which means both of you in the kitchen. Have you seen 9 Half Weeks i say no more.

I don't know about your wife to be but I think it's wonderful that you can share cooking duties. Marriage is all about sharing. Maybe you can cook together. The more things you do together the better. Just because you are an excellent cook doesn't mean you don't want to be cooked for. I would love to be cooked for.

My husband is a great cook and I love it!!! It's really nice to be able to take turns cooking, that way one person doesn't have to do it all the time. I usually cook during the week and he cooks on the weekends.
As far as competing, my husband and I often joke about who makes the best food. But it's really a win-win situation as we both get to enjoy the meals we create.

Do it together if she also wants to participate.
That's what marriage is about!!
If she wants to goto Yahoo Answers while you are cooking, that's even better, she will learn more here, just tell her that she can only goto http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/;_ylt=AnvzjnVoFBC0c9lIqDq3OVDzy6IX?link=list&sid=396545368
just joking there!
If you love cooking so much, then you might have missed watching Footballs! Watch some footballs and let your wife cook some of her receipes. Appreciate it even if its burnt to a crisp!
Food tastes better when you know its made by the lady whose lips kisses you!
Do a cooking competititon, invite your friends and family over, let her win! Do some crazy stuffs to me make her know that you are terrible, that is if you know that she likes it that way, or just cook while she entertains the guests!
Be a hero that you are! Make her happy, don't try to show that you are better than her, because she leads the world!
