Ich esse gern Schokolade. Was isst du gern?
I like eating chocolate. What do you like eating?
Ich esse nicht gern Sauerkraut.
I do not like eating sauerkraut.
Ich trinke gern Pfefferminztee. Was trinkst du gern?
I like drinking peppermint tea. What do you like drinking?
Ich trinke nicht gern Bier.

I am allergic to (literally: against) peanuts. Are you allergic to anything (literally: to something)?
Look up food and drink words on leo.org, dict.cc and/or Beolingus. Concentrate on foods that you like, that you dislike or that you are allergic to. Make your own vocabulary list: On paper, on the computer, on the internet (e.g. leo.org) or, if you have Linux, use Parley. Include the German article (der/die/das for masculine/feminine/neutral) and the plural form. Practice the sentences above with various types of food and/or create short dialogs. You should both speak them and write them to remember them better.
In English liking or not liking something is expressed, well, with the verb "like". In German, however, the adverb "gern" is used. This does not only go for eating, but for everything:
Ich spiele gern Tennis.
I like playing Tennis.
Likewise, "prefer" is expressed with "lieber", an adverb roughly meaning "rather".
Ich trinke lieber Wein als Bier.
I prefer drinking wine over drinking beer. ("als" means "than")

Try memorizing the pronouns. Concentrate on the singular ones for now.
Conjugate the verb "trinken" in all six forms. It does not change the root vowel in the present tense.
Now try to do it from memory for either essen or trinken or both.
Negation is done with "nicht" = "not", not with a helping verb like "don't" or "doesn't".

Just like negations don't use the helping verbs "don't" and "doesn't", questions do not use the helping verbs "do" and "does", either. Just invert the subject and verb to get a question.
Isst du Erdnüsse? - Do you eat peanuts?
Was isst du? - What do you eat?

Now instead of practicing sentences about what you like or don't like, create sentences what your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/significant other likes or doesn't like, or your kids, parents, grandparents, friends, ... .
