    How do you feel about cooking?

    I cook mostly every night. I prefer baking but I like doing both. I went through about five cookbooks and looked up some recipes online and took my and my boyfriends favorites and put them in one cookbook that I made with a specific decorated binder that I bought and some recipe paper. I also added some that I had never tried but sounded good. I've tried lots of new things these past few months.

    I made a bacon quiche last week and I had never made one before and it turned out pretty well. I also made some meatballs that were actually very good. There's been a few recipes that were okay but by cooking them based on the recipe, I learned how to improve them.

    The part I dislike most about cooking is touching meat before its cooked. I wash my hands as soon as possible after handling it. The part I like most is eating the food.

    I love cooking and baking and I'm pretty creative in the kitchen, but I'm super picky.

    I don't have a kitchen right now and it is killing me because I want to be able to make adorable little cupcakes with sprinkles and lemon parmesan pasta whenever I want but I can't

    handling raw chicken always makes me feel uncomfortable! no issues with beef, pork, or fish though.

    I am above average when it comes to the culinary arts. I am all about learning new recipes or just combining whatever I have lying around to prepare a dish.

    I LOVE to cook and bake, and I've never had a complaint about my skills in the kitchen. I just wish I had more prep room I can't do as much as I would like.

    I've been making Sarah breakfast in bed almost every day for about a year it's almost always just scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, and oatmeal with a glass of juice though. I like to cook a lot, but she wants to learn how to be a better cook so I've been letting her take dinner lately. It's been... interesting >.>

    I cook a lot, but recently getting used to my new routine has hindered me a little.
    I work a lot, I'm in class a lot and then when I'm not in class I'm in the library doing research or something.


    I've set aside my sundays for cooking something big though. I've made lasagne, bolognese, and thai chicken soup over the last three weeks. I also try and cook something on weekdays but only if I have the time. I'm getting better though.

    I've always been pretty nifty at cooking, and it's really something that helps me to chill out and unwind. I love cooking because when I'm doing it I'm just thinking about food and none of my other stresses. I'm hoping to learn to do more chinese dishes and maybe make curries. I made a curry over the summer from scratch and it was soooooo good!

    I love baking too, I've baked since I was a little girl - my Nana bakes a lot and everytime I would visit her we'd make cakes together

    I like cooking stuff that I can just throw a bunch of veggies in and it makes it really hearty and warming and smells nice. Like this Chilli I made!

    I cook a bit, but I haven't done it in a while. I mostly enjoy crepes and pasta. Oh, and my burgers are absolutely heavenly.

    I am perfectly capable of cooking. Then I remember I am a lazy asshole and just throw something in the toaster oven or microwave.

    I don't know how to cook/bake and have no interest in learning. I'm eating a microwave pizza right now.

    In b4 the thread turns into everyone chastising me as is par for the course

    Cooking is the most horrifically boring thing I've ever had the immense displeasure of doing. It is literally less interesting than doing nothing and I hate it with a passion. I like what you get out of it, but not enough to actually do it.

    I cook.

    I also get lazy and just get a microwave thing, sandwich or take-out.

    Really largely depends what my day at work was like.

    When I'm not making an egg and fish pizza, I unleash my talents on various of traditional Filipino dishes. I don't cook as much as I'd like, but time is short, and sometimes it's just easier to buy something fast and easy.

    The best thing about cooking your own food is you can at least know what`s going in it....and you can easily cut down salt&sugar.

    Here are some of the meals I've made recently:

    Filet mignon with sauteed kale, scalloped potatoes, and mushrooms.
    Shrimp scampi with linguine.
    Japanese style fried rice.
    Tuscan style meat ragu with pappardelle.
    Carne asada tacos with spanish rice (Del Murder made guacamole and salsa).
    Korean spicy tofu soup.

    I enjoy cooking. But I like eating even more!

    Tonight we're making spaghetti Del Murder style, and cookies from scratch.
