Yes, you can say: Whatever I cook, he finds fault with it.
You can also turn the sentence around and avoid using the word (preposition) " it" .
He finds fault with everything I cook.
He finds fault with whatever I cook.
Well done! Keep up the good work 😃

Whatever I cook, he finds fault with.
You don’t need the final “it”.

Yes, all three sentences are correct and natural 👍
“Whatever I cook, he finds fault with it.”
- Grammatically correct. Very natural. It clearly shows repeated criticism.
“You always find a flaw in everyone I introduce to you.”
- Also correct. Works perfectly in a dating context.
You could also say:
You always find something wrong with everyone I introduce to you. (a bit more natural in everyday speech)
“They would find fault with whatever I did.”
- Correct. Using “would” here is great because it shows repeated behavior in the past.
All three sentences make sense and sound natural. Nice work.

These sentences are all well-constructed! Finding fault with something and finding flaws in something are two ways to describe a similar behavior, and it looks like you've correctly identified that we use different prepositions with each of the two verb phrases. 😊
Do you think you could reformulate:
"They would find fault with whatever I did."
... in the future?
