It's a "thing" among the Yeshivish too.

Who are you quoting?

In any case, all it means is that the cook shouldn't serve the food they
made for se'udos Shabbos without checking the taste themselve. It is
common when cooking to taste the dish anyway. You just ought to remember
to check (eg) the soup, even if you make the same recipe every week.

Chodesh Tov!
