How Do I Tell My Aunt Her Cooking Is Terrible Without Hurting Her Feelings?

Every weekend my aunt comes over and starts cooking without asking. She brags about her dishes while we eat. The rice is always undercooked and the stew lacks seasoning. My dad teases her behind her back, but I feel guilty staying silent. I worry that telling her the truth will offend her. She will be upset and call me disrespectful. Our family gatherings will become awkward. So I smile and drink water to wash the food down. I need advice. Should I tell my aunt her cooking is bad? If so, how can I do it kindly? Has anyone faced a similar situation?
