Both of take turns in cooking.
When she used to work locally, and I worked in London, she'd prepare dinner for the evening.
Now that she's working in London and I work 5 mins from home, I prepare in the evenings.

Mr ZD can not cook at all so it is down to me or the local take-a-way.

SWMBO works at home so she tends to cook most nights, but to be honest it's pie and chips and easy stuff like that.
I'll cook once or twice a week but it's cooking from scratch.
I love cooking a roast, my currys are pretty good and I enjoy cooking Chinese and Italian.

Mrs BigD's a vegetarian, where as I'm a fully fledged carnivore. She is prepared to cook meat, but tends to over do the "making sure it's cooked all the way through" bit, and I end up with a lump of carbon.
So, if I'm at home, I tend to do the cooking.

MrsBear isn't the best cook - there's a couple of things I've taught her and she does them but I cook most nights.

Where's the "share it" option?
Generally, her Ladyship cooks from scratch.
I tend to do the easy meals.
But it is nice that when neither of us can be arsed to cook, we just eat out and think nothing of it.

Mostly, MrsF - normally I'm working away from home, so she has no choice.
When we are both there, it's probably 70-30 to her. I enjoy cooking, but don't really have much chance to practice it.
