minimalist.
carnivore.

i am a good chef and baker, having worked both those professions, yet i despise food. i'm pissed we NEED to eat. where is the goddamn future `one-a-day' pill. no food, no mess.

unless it's a special meal, then i get why people like eating so much. it's fun to cook for close friends.

I had to learn how to cook because my mother could'nt cook. Seriously my brother sister and me had to learn how to cook for self survival.
All my mother could cook was soup. She would make Scones that could sink the Arctic circle, pancakces like ninja throwing stars and mince that was seriously green!
Chemists will never be able to recreate this green mince, physicysits would be amazed at her black hole stew and biologists in the future will be looking for my blood to cure super salmonela.

you know what now that you mention it, my mom can't cook either! It must be genetic I swear! My sister also can't cook. The future of our children are doomed! doomed I tell you!

yeah once my mom found out we were old enough to use the stove our selves that was the end of her ever cooking dinner again. It was fend for your self night every night.

Unfortunately the only thing I ever learned how to cook were eggs and instant noodle soup.

Well I can cook and awesome delmonico steak. But if you can't cook a delmonico steak that there's just no helping you! (unfortunately I can not afford to eat delmonico steaks every night or believe me I would! )

Not much other than I eat sparingly but healthy.

I eat to live, not live to eat, that's for sure. Microwaved vegies, fruit- whatever meat you can cook on a bit of foil on a tray in the oven...! Despise washing up. The exhaust fan 'near' the stovetop does sweet fa, so not being a fan of greasy fumes on everything i gave up frying (use the barbie). Having discovered that you can still cook a steak in the oven, I am a happy camper.

I can cook a few things well. Once or twice a week I will go to some trouble if the dish will last a while. Just cauliflower cheese, spag bog, or a curry if I'm feeling enthusiastic. I learnt how to make indian food from scratch from my last bf ('last'?actually we are back together- but my brain is in transition, it seems) and have the spice collection to prove it. I'll save making something like that for the weekend and I do enjoy the process. I certainly can't be stuffed going to any trouble during the week. I have also lived on toast and baked beans...mmm beans. Beans, beans, are good for the heart. The more you eat, the more you...

That apart from the hours and the screwed up people that work in the hospitality industry. I should of continued my training to become a chef. But then again most of my partners hate that I'm a better cook then they are now.

True about chefs...and well, substance abuse in the industry...But really Max- "hate"? I love that the bf is a great cook- the job is his! But am less enthused about the high calorie dishes he tends to make. Coming home from uni to see he'd made me a cake was really sweet the first time it happened...I had to kybosh it though.

I had to learn to cook at a young age out of necessity when my mom started getting sick. I learned to love it. When I am by myself its micro-meals or order out but I love to entertain and cook for my family. I love to create new things too. I'll cook for myself on special occasions like last night was my bday and I grilled up a steak, a baked potato and grilled some fresh veggies. It was tasty. I make my own spaghetti sauce and chicken and dumplings from scratch. I can make a killer turkey!! I like seeing peoples reactions when I make something new (or old) and how much they like it. It makes me happy!

@southerly some women still think of the kitchen as their domain.

My cooking says:

I love you.

We should have been fat by now, thank goodness for high metabolism.

Is there an army living in my spare room?

I cook a balanced meal, every day. A protein, two veg, and a grain for fiber. We make a lunch and something quick for breakfast. My mother was a great cook, and both sister's wonderful cooks.

We don't waste food - if something has leftovers I generate it into a menu in the next two days. A giant garden salad will last the week and is often my lunch.

Doorknob, don't try to be fancy with your cooking. If you have a whole chicken - just rub him down with oil, salt and pepper, stick him in a 375 oven for about 1 1/2 hours. Until the drumstick wiggles easily. Done.

When you master the basics, then you venture out with new things. I started with an easy-bake oven at eight, and when I was ten they started letting me use the "real" oven.

This is my go to for new ideas.........

Message me if you need to know how to cook something. I can make it simple for you. Love!!!

Adventurous, I don't follow recipes.

My cooking says that I need lots of cooking classes to reach the normal level cooking.

I have to follow receipes. I got some from my mom's stuff when she passed and am able to cook some of my favorite foods that way. Of course, it never tastes as good as when she made it.

I guess my cooking says about me that I am traditional,.

I am, by no means, a chef. If there is something that needs to be cooked...you'd better find someone that is even half as capable of cooking as I am b/c I am THAT bad at it. My Mom always told me that I should "never learn to cook" b/c if I did I'd be expected to. So I followed my Mom's instructions and didn't learn to cook. And it shows.

Cooking has always been an issue for me. I generally don't do it.
My mom never cooked and our kitchen never got used. I'd just eat stuff out of the refrigerator, pieces of bread or cheese usually. And I still eat like that now. I eat lots of cold cereal and sandwiches. I had a live in bf who was a good cook, I gained some weight with him around but that was years ago. I don't think my stovetop has been turned on since then.
