Cooking.

[Bunny]

No, I don't cook at all. I have a microwave as my only means of heating meals. I eat a lot of turkey sandwiches.

[Dreddz]

I just throw in a ready meal into the microwave most of the time, actually preparing something with fruit and veg takes such a long time Im never bothered to do it well.

[Zeldy]

What? I have my parents to do that.

I am actually doing Food Technology for my GCSE, so my parents assume I can cook. When in reality, I can't even turn on an oven. Though I somehow manage to get As and A*s in my practicals.

If my mother is home then she cook otherwise I cook for myself and for my father. Spending many years at home alone earned me the likings to cook, so my cookings aren't bad, I think.

Beans on toast is the threshold of my cooking capabilities.

I eat a lot of beans on toast.

[Xander]

[Tifa Valentine]

I was never too into cooking growing up. I was always playing video games or playing outside.... but you can teach an old dog new tricks. I cook often and I like to look up recipes and try new things, plus I have a sister who loves to cook.

/resists the temptation to try rhyming slang...

I was actually half decent at it in school, but when living at home it's very much a case of "why have a dog and bark yourself". If ever I moved on, it's something I'd pick up again quickly and I think I'd probably enjoy it... in fact I'm sure I'd enjoy it.

I'd get my parents to let me try, but our kitchen is the most disgusting thing you'll ever see. Seriously, the hob was last cleaned about 10 years ago, or at least there was an attempt that involved taking it outside and blasting it with a pressure washer, and even that didn't shift a thick enough layer of grease and crud. I am NOT kidding. I know it's safe enough as the food goes inside the pans which are duly washed.... but eww. I'd only end up hating it. No rush

So. Discuss cooking practices (or lack thereof). How many of you cook for yourselves? If you don't, why not?

Someimes I cook for myself when no one is home I don't cook very often normal food because when mom is not here my dad doesn't allow me to cook he says it's dangerous (damn I'm almost 19 and I can't even cook when I want) I used to help my mom but not anymore I have time to study and then when I'm too tired I go here but I still didn't loose my skills of cooking!

[Yukki-Chan]

I do a lot of cooking for myself, for example I've cooked myself lunch for the past two weeks (it being half term) and I'll also cook for the family when my parents feel like having a night off.
My speciality is pancakes for desserts and panchetta and leek pasta for a main meal, Yum

I always try to avoid doing dishes though, but then again doesn't everyone?

[Chemical]

I cook all the time, I really enjoy it too.

I tend to experiment and I work from scratch most of the time.
I think the only thing I haven't attempted to serve is human flesh.

Mostly I cook for myself but I greatly enjoying cooking for other people.

[samboo1]

I hardly ever cook properly. The most ive done in the past month is probably a microwave meal I wanted to take food technology as a GCSE, but my teacher advised me not to, because although i really love cooking i am pathetic at it...

[Shlup]

I usually cook for myself, but I rarely have time to cook anything good while attending work and school.
