Way too many of us dudes are way too comfortable critiquing things that we aren't helping our spouses with. Sure, there's always room for feedback and open dialog, but if you're going to be a dolt about how you communicate with your partner—or anyone, really—don't be surprised when they're not receptive or open to the conversation.
This woman was apparently blindsided when she prepared dinner for herself and her boyfriend, only for him to smirk when he tasted the meal and tell her that he had been "taking notes" and prepared something for her, too. He then proceeded to whip out a formatted PowerPoint presentation on all the things that were wrong with her cooking, instructing her on how to prepare things to his liking going forward.

Of course, cooking something totally unpalatable is a certain kind of crime; if anything, it's just a waste of money and resources. Besides, if you prep a bad meal and then say "Gordon Ramsay" into the mirror three times, you'll end up with an irate British guy screaming in your ear about how your existence is as miserable as your dish—and no one wants that to happen.
But there are way more factors involved here. If she was intentionally cooking poorly in the hopes of getting out of doing it in the future, thus passing more of the split contributions of the household on to her partner, then it would be an issue. It, along with any other sort of feigned or "weaponized" incompetence, is toxic behavior in a relationship. However, the boyfriend's choice of approach to this alone is probably enough to tell us that this isn't the case and that he is an absolute nincompoop and insensitive at best.
