Me personally? I'd appreciate it! I'd appreciate it loads actually. The problem is that I'd probably show my appreciation more to start with but then if it happened all the time I'd start showing appreciation less and less. I would definitely still appreciate it as much but unfortunately it's the way of the world that people tend to show their appreciation for things less the more that they happen.
Having said that, someone kind enough and loving enough to cook for their other half every night would presumably be happy with or without appreciation being shown as they'd simply be content with the fact they're making their partner happy...
(Ok, perhaps that last bit is a little over the top but assuming this is a real situation, let's hope there are some things that you take for granted too cos it shouldn't be one-sided.)

Definitely t...........appreciative of you. I'm the one who does all the cooking and everything else for that matter and I still end up doing the washing up most of the time.
All my partner does is watch TV and wants sex when I work full time look after my and him as well.
Sometimes I wish I had somewhere better to come home to and I know that I don't have to do any housework for the rest of the night.
But I always tell him how I feel and you should do the same otherwise nothing will be resolved and you will feel neglected

My husband cooks for me. And i have to say I appreciate it and I let him know all the time because alot of men don't do this sort of thing but he understands that I work and go to school and have to deal with the kids so he tries to make things as easy on me as possible. I am thankful for him and believe me he does alot more than just cooking, he cleans when he can and he works also until 4 o'clock in the morning and still gets up to fix me breakfast. He is a great person and i am sure I would never find any one else like him.

I think with anything, if the same thing is done, after while, it's only natural that you take it for granted. the only way to make the person appreciate it, is not to cook for that one evening and what what kind of reaction you get... ;-)

It is human nature to take things for granted. I would think it would be incredibly special if I had a meal prepared for me when I got home. Heck, I would be happy with a sandwich! You might want to consider, taking turns with the meals, this could be a real eye-opener for the other party involved.

I would imagine the correct answer is most that I know don't outwardly appreciate it. But inside really do. Maybe not enough people think about the fact that its sitting there in front of you.
I appreciate it, and a simple thanks and a warm smile is a good way to let them know you do. A burp and a "oh this is great" is not too shabby either ;)

To be honest it depends what mood I'm in!! How terrible is that! My boyfriend isn't the greatest cook in the world and tends to create more mess than actual food! Most of the time I really appreciate his efforts but sometimes I'm horrible and don't appreciate it.

Well the thing is that your partner will appreciate you in the begining then he gets used to it and feels like a big deal.it is in human nature to not know what they have until they loose it.Why don't you trying not doing that for like a week you will see he will take note and start appricateing again..good luck.

Both. I would appreciate it and expect it. But, I am lazy and expect things to be done for me anyways. I never learned how to cook because I came from a family where we outsourced the cooking and hired help.
