how many of us know how 2 cook??

Dublin8

just wanted to have an idea

when i say cook i mean proper dinner

i can cook few dishes

not very good at cooking

i can cook

asian
english cusine

i would rate my self as intermediate

anyone else

ixoy

Probably better suited to the Food/Drink forum.

As for myself, I can cook in the sense I'm following recipes but I've yet to be really inventive myself. I also find it a bit of a problem when the ingredients required are generally more suited to a family size portion than cooking for one (e.g. a tin of tomatoes). It normally means having the same meal two days in a row and freezing the remainders.

BizzyC

I'm the same, I can cook, but only if I have a recipe, or have been shown how to do it.
Can't invent meals from a group of ingredients.

I am MAN

I haven't a clue!

BlitzKrieg

i can cook...but not too well. I guess i can cook only for myself cause i throw in stuff that only i would eat,

Dublin8

Dr. Loon

I can cook like a fúckin lunatic if I do say so myself. Well no, actually, I can cook pretty well. Me Ma taught me.

Gilgamesh

frying pan my friend...frying pan.

one thing i never got the hang off where spices etc. My two housemates are mad into cooking and they have a line of all these different spices and i watch them perform complex operations with them. shocked that neither study chemistry. I tend to stay away from them.

BizzyC

I'm the opposite to ixoy in the sense that I find it easier to cook large amounts than single portions.

Larianne

I absolutely HATE cooking! :mad: God help the guy I end up with! The quickest and easy way is how I feed myself. I hate the waiting around. I hate be starving and waiting for some chicken to boil or whatever it is in the pot. I'm so bleedin' exhausted that when it is finally ready I don't enjoy it or I'm already stuffed from eating half a packed of biscuits while waiting! :rolleyes:

I do make a good cup of tea though. I have been told that a good few times. So if anyone is ever in need of a cuppa, I'm your woman!

I will restrain myself, but point out that using the term "cook like a motherfúcker", and including that your Ma taught you how to cook could be very badly misconstrued, when used in a single comment.

Indeed. Edited. I'm not yet at fúckin lunatic status, but I'm close.

I love cooking. Well actually I prefer eating, but cooking ensures I can have the food exactly how I want it.

did they tell you this after you cooked them a Meal ROFL

petes

I can cook individual items. Can never get them timed right. Hooray for takeaways.

meh ha ha ha...

No, I never cook for anyone. Coz I can't! I have a magic formula to making tea! It's all about the spoon and how many times you stir it!! :rolleyes:

And no, it wouldnt be pizza, I hate pizza!! It's be two micro wavable curries!! lmao

Larianne

Actually...

"strike that, reverse it..."

Get rid of the curries, too common and all...

it'd be microwaved Lasagnes... oh with a bit of lettuce and cucumber.

Gilgamesh

think I will have to PM you about your tea 'ritual', as it is my territory after all.

Dublin8

dont think larriane anyone here would like to survive only on tea :eek:

not me certainly

and i even dont drink tea

hehe at the moment i am having chocomilk have a machine in office

I love cooking ... I find it to be a great way to relax!!

I could tell you but you still wouldn't get it right. It's also about the colour of the tea! I even converted one guy who doesn't even like tea!!

Too right I'll be marrying a guy who can cook. I eat terrbily unhealthy due to not being able to cook. It's mainly micro dinners or grilled stuff. And then i just snack on crisps while waiting! Terrible. I did Home Ec for 5th and 6th year and nothing I cooked (along with a friend, so I wasn't alone) tasted nice. Oh except for the Black Forest Gateau. OOhh that was delish!!!

Gilgamesh

as long as your ritual doesn't take 4 and a half hours, anything is worth knowing.

and I hope you don't use teabags!! :eek:

Basq

As long as it's taken out of a packet / box from the freezer, i can cook like a demon!

Last night, made a strange concoction of Potato Waffles and Cottage Pie! :eek:

Could you possibly be my ideal woman?

No, you had to go and ruin a nice microwave lasagne with lettuce and cucumber, damn it.


I normally don't cook for other people as I'm a picky bastard about what I eat. I've only ever met one other person who doesn't eat vegetables. I do cook for myself quite a lot though, Chinese, various pasta dishes, and a few home-made recopies like chicken and beef bolognase with pasta and cheese. I was particularly proud of that one, more so when it turned out to be edible!
