Tip 5: Keep Your Response Simple

For example, in response to a compliment on your cooking, a simple “Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!” is sufficient and genuine. “Thank you, I appreciate it.” “Thanks, that means a lot.” “Thank you, I'm glad you think so.”

What do you say to the waitress/waiter when they ask 'How is your food'? If it's excellent, I'd probably say “It's VERY good, thank you!” If it's okay, I'd probably say “Good, thank you.” If I'm unimpressed, I'd probably say “I'm glad you asked.

It should be:”I am a good cook”.
