You cook?

My specialty breakfast. I love omlets, pancakes & sausage!

With some help from the web I have sharpened my cooking skills but I still have much to learn especially in the area of sweets. Bake a cake from scratch, not me I tried bisquick and fruitloops one time and got a disaster.

I'm one of those on the fly open the fridge and chuck it in the pan chefs. My apple sauce pancakes rule. Ever have scrambled eggs and spinach? Try it yum!!

I know how to cook well enough to serve for a small crowd of people or so. Most of my cooking is limited to Asian-style meals, but I do know how to cook a few others as well. If given a choice though I would say that I prefer baking.

My cooking is limited to breakfast. I could whip up my friends a pretty decent breakfast that involves a lot of crap. That time of day isn't hard, but I can't seem to do well outside of that spectrum.

I can cook, but I won't.



Since I live alone and rarely have friends over it just never seems worth the trouble. Buying ingredients and standing in the kitchen for 30 minutes to an hour feels like too much work for the payoff. As a result, I don't have very much experience, so the times I do cook it takes even longer than it should.

I love cooking. It's one of my few stress relievers during the day, and I often wish I could do it more frequently. Unfortunately, I only cook for myself and I really like to cook large portions, so I usually wind up with enough food to last me for a few days after just cooking for an hour or so.

I cook on occasion, I'm pretty good when you give me a recipe and ask me to perform the steps and function. I watch enough Food Network to know what to do when they ask me to julienne.

And I'm pretty decent when it comes to Asian food on the fly.

I can't cook, I don't like cooking, I'm not good at cooking, and I eat out every meal.

P.S. I'm fat.

Seriously, how did some of you even LEARN how to cook when you're by yourself? When you live alone, there's no reason to cook, really.

There's the reasons of saving a lot of money on food, getting food quicker, and eating healthier.

Chicks also dig it.

I cook very little, but it's enough to get by... Soup, stir-fry, omelets, Hamburger Helper ()...

Over ten years ago I asked my mom to teach me how to cook because I though it would be useful in the future (I was 19 at the time). She taught me the basics too cook tomato sauce and the risotto, and I found that I was pretty skilled at the time, and with some effort I bested some of my mother dishes in a very short time.
More than five years ago she died and I took charge of cooking for my father, and I still cook almost everyday since then, and with passion too.
I love to cook, since I found that is the only way I can express my creativity, well a edible creativity, but nontheless a product of my inner self.
Since I live in Italy I came to know quite a few recipes, and lately I tend to create my own recipes.
But lately I'm a bit tired of cooking everyday, so when my father is not at home I tend to neglet cooking and prepare some quick dish without much effort.

I cook half of the meals the people in this household eat, even though my mom could easily cook all of them. I love to cook and especially like to try new things. It's great for stress relief and, if I'm cooking dinner, to reflect on the day. Just yesterday I made homemade granola bars for the first time from a recipe in a cookbook my grandmother bought for me and gave me this weekend. I'm kind of sad though because it's a baking book and I don't have a stand mixer for making the doughs that 90% of the recipes call for. I'm too lazy to kneed dough for 10 minutes.

I really suck at baking sweet things, like cakes and cookies, because I haven't had much practice (hence the random gift of a baking book from my grandma). I can cook savory things like there's no tomorrow, though.

I can cook well, better than my parents even. It's just I can't really be bothered putting in the time and effort to cook decent meals for myself and others. I guess it's a skill I can build on while I'm at home and will be useful for when I move out.

Yes I cook.

I cook a fabulous Perogies, Bacon, Red Onion mix!

I love it. Too bad it takes so much work...

I started cooking when I went off to college, mostly because I wanted to save some small amount of money (as a music student? Ha! We have to get coffee and eat out all the time!) but also because I wanted to be able to cook stuff to impress boys.... And my roommate already knows how to cook, so I wanted to be able to compete with her.

I'm not that bad, actually. As of right now, each weekend my roommate and our two friends are going to start an "international dinner" night, since I'm Portuguese, my roomie is Mexican, one friend is Slovenian and the other is Ecuadorian. We can definitely get some variety going with that mix (and give each other free dinners!).

I'm best at baking stuff, but I can also make good "American" food like Pork Chop Casserole and Pot Roast...things my grandma always made for me. Terrible for you, but damned good nevertheless.

I'm going to culinary school and apparently my biscuits are the best biscuits the gay kid in my class had in a long time.

The secret to making biscuits: use a cheese grater when you have to cut your butter into the flour. It makes it not only easier to make the biscuit dough but also makes the whole thing uniform, which is key!

Also the secret to making things taste good: salt. The chemical reaction that occurs when salt is added to organic materials allows for the natural flavor of that organic material to shine. It's basically sucking the juices out of the cells and being salty.

I LOVE (repeat: LOVE) cooking on the grill, but every once in a while I like to take time off and focus my rage into the oven. Last week I took a whole 10 lbs. of chicken leg quarters and cooked them in the oven because I had nothing better to do:

14 eggs, lemon pepper and oregano made a fine batter which every piece of chicken got dipped into and then subsequently dipped into a mix of bread crumbs and "Chef Merito" chicken seasoning. Once on the pan they're covered in a mix of diced garlic and onions and put in the oven for 45 minutes even.

You will NEVER have chicken this good in your life. MARK MY WORDS.

Yeah I cook you cook?

I can cook, but I tend to specialize in the sorts of thing that'll kill me.

For instance, there's something I like to make called a scotch egg. To make, you buy some sausage meat and a half dozen eggs. Hardboil the eggs to doneness, and then take off the shell. Proceed to wrap the eggs with the sausage meat, and then deep fry two at a time to golden deliciousness. Palm oil tastes the best, but canola / vegatable oil works too. When they're all done, serve with home fries and generous amounts of maple syrup.

It's the greatest thing ever to eat in the morning with a nice glass of chocolate milk, assuming it doesn't kill you due to the massive unhealthiness and all.

Cooking is definetely not one of my best talents. I'm actually a horrible cook so bad that back when I was in university I actually food poisoned myelf at least three times during the 5 years I was in university.

So in terms of my cooking I try to keep it as simplistic as possible. It may not be the most healthy cooking but it gives me the energy that I need to get through the day.

Alot of times I usually cook flavoured rice, but the majority of my own cooking is either things that can be microwaved, boiled and just simply shoved in the oven.

My fiance usually does all the cooking in our house but I do the dishes so it evens out. I hope eventually when I get back home for good, I'll take some cooking lessons because I would like to impress her by cooking for her. I think its always something she always wanted me to do.
