A woman threw her sister-in-law out of her home – and banned her for life – after she caught her meddling with her cooking.
They Usually Get On Well

Up until this incident, the 29-year-old woman and her sister-in-law were on good terms with each other.
“I get along with her well, except for this one point: if you don’t keep an eye on her, she will get into the kitchen, and add seasonings to whatever is cooking. She thinks she is fixing stuff, but not all foods need turmeric in it.”
The Morning Of ‘Tomatogate’

The woman was excited about her weekend cooking plans. “This saturday, I received 40 lbs of tomatoes, it took me the whole weekend to turn it into a sauce that I was planning to can. I can it plain, then add whatever seasonings and herbs it needs, depending on the recipe.”
She Saw Red – And It Wasn’t Just The Tomatoes!

The sister-in-law was up to her old tricks.
“They came to take a bag of spare clothes for one of their kids, and in the 5 minutes it took me to get it, she managed to get into the kitchen, add salt, pepper, turmeric, olive oil, garlic powder and italian herbs to all 5 of the pots that were simmering on the stove.”
She Confronted Her

The sister-in-law was about to find out she’d overstepped the mark.
“When I asked her what she was doing, she had the audacity to say ‘this sauce needed some taste, I added it for you.’ Like I’ve never told her to not touch what I was cooking before.”
Absolutely Fuming

The woman couldn’t even face her sister-in-law.
“I was so angry that I knew I couldn’t be calm talking with her. So I simply walked to my brother, told him to take the clothes and his wife, and that she is no longer welcome in my house.”
She Let Her Brother Have It

And demanded reimbursement of the tomato kind…
“She had followed me, was shocked, and started apologizing, but I just ignored her. I added that he should come by tomorrow to take the sauce his wife ruined because otherwise it would be thrown away, and that I expected 40lbs of replacement tomatoes.”
She Stood Firm

Even though the sister-in-law was incredibly apologetic for her actions, the woman was having none of it.
“They left, and he came back with the tomatoes, an apology letter from her, and an apology carrot cake (my fav). But I told him that I stand by my decision.”
It’s Caused A Rift In The Family

“Now my parents got involved since I am the one that usually hosts, and since she is not allowed in my house, I told them to make alternate plans for Memorial Day. My husband says that I am in the right, but my parents say that my reaction is way overblown. So AITA?”
People Voiced Their Opinions

The woman shared her predicament with an online community. One user said this:
“This is so boundary disrespecting, disrespectful, and INSULTING to what you’re cooking. And it wasn’t even for HER!! NTA for being furious. I do think she’s learned her lesson though.”

Users can’t quite believe what’s going through the sister-in-law’s head. “Even if you didn’t season at all, her behavior is completely wild. Who seasons food they’re not only not cooking, but not even eating? Who cares if your tomato sauce is totally bland? You already have good advice, but I’m so fascinated by the pathology of this. What the hell is going through her head? Is it an impulse issue? Does she just think she’s a better cook than everyone else? Bizarre.”
Shockingly Rude

One user said: “I won’t even taste anything without permission first. This is absolutely insane behavior to me.”
Another agreed: “TOUCH anything. I don’t TOUCH anything in the kitchen of a house I am the guest in without permission.”
Ulterior Motives

Users questioned if this behavior was even about seasoning: “It’s not really about the flavors; it’s about CONTROL. She is taking possession of the food by adding her seasonings, making it ‘her’ dish, even if it’s cooking on another person’s stove. She then pretends to have rescued the food with her additions, simultaneously calling OP [original poster] a bad cook while plumping her own ego. In this scenario, she made a beeline for the stove while OP was occupied. She didn’t give a damn what they were making — she just wanted to take over the food by adding spices. She probably didn’t even bother to taste it before throwing stuff in as fast as she could before OP could spot her and make her stop.”
