She is a former Mexican model turned politician and says she never had time to learn. What is the best recourse for me to continue to enjoy good food?
She just immigrated from Mexico, we have a beautiful 2 month old baby girl too.

Eat out, hire a cook, order prepared meals in advance, or take over the kitchen duties yourself! ;)
Kudos on the new baby!

Here are a couple of things you should keep in mind. No.1, your wife just had a beautiful baby girl and No.2, being that your wife just recently gave birth to your daughter, it will take some time for your wife to get back up on her own two feet, so as a husband and a father, you should be very understanding and help her out when she needs help. Now as far as her not knowing how to cook, maybe you can teach her how to make good meals or buy some cookbooks and you two can learn how to make family recipes whenever she feels ready.

Where is it written that the woman has to be the cook? Take a few cooking courses and learn to make those foods you love. Let her do something around the house she's good at. And if neither of you want to do it, hire someone who will. There are services that will come to your house and cook you a week's worth of meals at a time. Or take her to a restaurant that serves home cooking. She's busy enough with her career and the new baby. ;)

Do to physical limitations I can't cook anymore. I like the same kind of food you do. These are the things I have done:
1. Found a couple brands of frozen food that taste more homey like - Marie Callendars and Stouffers.
2. Found local restaurants that make homestyle meals that I enjoy. In Austin it is Threadgills.
3. Learn how to cook them yourself. No where is it written (even the Bible) that the woman has to cook.
4. After you learn how to cook learn how to freeze. Cook a bunch of things at the same time and freeze them. That's what those little plastic containers are for.
5. If you work days have your meal out at your favorite restaurant and have your luncheon meal - like a sandwich, at home.

Consider taking cooking lessons together. This gives you both the opportunity to spend some quality time together. I also recommend investing in good cookbooks which offer information on a lot of "how to's" to different cooking terms. While they may seem like overwhelming cookbooks, Joy of Cooking and the Fannie Farmer Cookbooks offer a lot of detail and information on many basics of cooking, including terminology, tools and some techniques.
As you and your wife become more proficient, look into expanding your knowledge with other cookbooks and classes.
Good luck in your endeavors!

Why don't you and your wife learn how to cook together? That way, you know how to cook and can take care of yourself, but your wife can also cook you some meals. It would also be a good bonding experience. Buy some cookbooks for the both of you.

Learn to cook. You have two legs and a heartbeat, why can't you cook? If you are really asking "how can I get my wife to cook for me" then my answer would still be "learn to cook". Then you can cook with your wife while she builds up confidence in the kitchen. Then you are spending time together and enjoying food together.

Well, both of you can learn cooking together and it will be another fun activity. If you cannot attend cookery classes, you can buy good cookbooks or DVDs which show all the steps.
Home cooked food is tasty, wholesome and inexpensive apart from being hygienic.

Hmm. Let me see, how about YOU learn how to cook?! Why does the woman always have to do the cooking? If you ever watch FoodNetwork, the majority of the people cooking are men. Why does this never translate to real life?
