    Default Can't Cook Wont Cook?

    What foods do you like to cook for people or just for yourself?

    Can you cook?

    What is your signature dish?
    If I turn my back I'm defenceless, and to go blindly seems senseless.

    I don't cook that often xD Occasionally I'll try something new or invent some dish and try it myself, and I'll think it tastes good, but I still don't want to cook it for other people! I don't have that much confidence in my cooking abilities so I'm always afraid people will be like eugh what is this crap!?

    I like baking a lot more than cooking. :3

    I've been cooking a new recipe every night this week so far. My husband just started a new job so I've been trying to have a home-cooked meal ready about the time he gets home. So far he's loved every recipe.

    Yesterday I went through my cookbooks (I have like ten) and bookmarked more recipes I want to try. Last night was a turkey chili recipe from Deceptively Delicious.

    I love to cook. I only really started doing it...god I guess it's been almost 2 years now. Before I went to New Zealand I couldn't do anything. But living on my own, instead of eating fast food all the time or whatever, I decided I wanted to cook. And now it is like one of the greatest loves of my life. ;D I like cooking all kinds of things, but I'm definitely more into desserts though.

    And while I don't have a signature dish or anything, all food is great, certain things I am in love with include vanilla beans, cinnamon, smoked paprika, cumin, sage...oh dear. *wistful sigh*

    I can cook nothing but steak, but frankly that's all anyone needs to know.

    I've been cooking for 10 years now and I love it! I love making chili and chicken cordon bleu. Really I can cook just about anything, and I very seldom follow recipes. I love just winging it in the kitchen and seeing if it's good or not. I find it to be very soothing and calming.

    Last time I went into the kitchen, my girlfriend almost ripped off my manjunk.

    The best I can do is lasagna or spinach+feta potato gratin! But those are quite delicious, so I don't mind! I kinda wish I was a more versatile cook, though.

    I can cook decently enough in that I can follow a recipe, but I don't care enough to most of the time. For just myself, about as far as I'll go is a simple pasta dish.

    Huxley says I make amazing chicken cutlets. Before I dip them in the bread crumbs to fry, I dip them in hot spice mix powder mixed with a few drops of oil so that they stick to the pieces of chicken. It gives it a flavorful kick.

    I'm also really good at making pasta sauce. I do that same thing with the hot spice mix, plus, I put in a tiny bit of soy sauce, and I mix in chopped yellow peppers and onions. It makes this combination that makes me salivate thinking about.

    my signature dish is pasta with a tomato and meat-filled sauce that varies slightly each time I make it. I don't follow any specific recipie for it :p.

    I'm also known for pretty tasty homemade pizzas.

    Default I cook all the time...

    My favorite thing to cook, probably t-bone or ribeye steak.
    Add a baked potato and some veggies, perhaps a salad and a nice piece of pie, preferably cherry along with something cold to drink and you are all set to go.

    I'm a terrible cook. I burnt macaroni one time, and I thought that was the easiest thing to make in the world... /:

    Will is a really good cook though. He can make just about anything. xDD
