Be you a good cook, or not?

[Lancet Jades]

Are you good at cooking? Can you take a bunch of random food items and concoct a not only edible, but delectable dish at any time, or do you consider yourself lucky if the water you're boiling doesn't combust, razing your entire block to the ground in a hellish storm of fire and destruction?

A diamond vial of LSD-laced water to the winner o.o

Anyways, I'm actually a darn good cook. Dunno how it happened, but my luck with making stuff is usually excellent.

[Bloozilla]

Everything I'd cook would turn into a monster.

No really, I can't cook for crap, the most I can cook is a frozen dinner.

[Night]

I'm decent, I guess. I'm actually pretty good, but I rarely cook with fresh stuff.

[Pinkie Pie]

I'm not too bad, and I'd like to think I'm getting better.

My cooking skills are limited to about 4 or 5 recipes, though.

[Snips]

I've learned all of the family recipies except my Mother's original Beef and Vegetable Stew creation (Only time you'll ever catch me eating turnip is in that stew) but yeah, I can cook pretty damned good for a teen living at home. Regrettably, this also means I have to do msot of the cooking around here as well.

Some of my better meals include:

Chicken Fried Rice (Not always chicken. I've uses sausage, hamburger, and bacon, all to great effect... er, not as good as the chicken, mind you)

Pasta Fajoli: A traditional Italian recipe involving Noodles, tomato sauce, and Kidney Beans, and as a family extra we throw in sausages. Me and sis like to experiment with spices to compliment the taste. Hers usually tastes a bit better than mine, but mine beats mom's so I guess I'm good in this area.

Soya Stir Fry: I'm not that big on Teryaki whatever stuff, and when I stir fry, it's all a matter of green veggies (celeri mostly, but broccoli as well) and soya sauce in a frying pan. I stir, and it fries, haha! It's great, too!


And now, for the one thing I can't cook worth crap!

... Kraft Dinner, except the White Cheddar kind. I dunno, it always tastes bad when I make it and good when others make it....

[Dark Luther]

I guess I'm a pretty good cook..., depending on what I'm making - though the food I cook for myself would not taste good for most. The food i would cook for others though would be good...

I can make a lot of things - most a bit exotic but simple...
My main ability is to make things with little money..., from very simple items...

[Dark Marmosett]

I can make whatever I need to. I can bake chicken in the oven and fries or whatever I need to make dinner with. ^^ Chicken is so easy to bake.

[Sassafrass Raistimass]

I am the greatest frozen pizza baker on the planet.

It's sad because it's true.

[Elisa Maza]

I can cook a very wide variety seafood dishes, from traditional to original. Eel and lobster are my specialties, though I'm good with just about any seafood.

I can also bake like noone's business and am an expert at putting together cakes and pastries from scratch.

I absolutely suck at making storebought "in-the-box" type meals, such as Rice-a-Roni or Tuna Helper and whatnot. I have no idea why I can't do it, but I can't. It never turns out like it's supposed to and either gets burnt somehow (even when I follow the directions on the box to a tee) or becomes too mushy/watery or just plain tastes horrible.

I much prefer cooking things with natural ingredience and from scratch rather than making something that's been pre-cooked or pre-prepared. Well, with the exception of bagged chicken nuggets or something. I like those.

[Altima]

I prefer to bake than cook but im not bad at either. I'd give myself a 6/10 in cooking and 8.5/10 at baking.

[Kurbee]

I am a horrible cook, seeing as though I have managed to catch my kitchen on fire twice.

Once with Pizza
Once with Eggs.

[Miles]

I'm pretty alright with cakes.

I guess I just shove what I like together and eat it.
I often do my own stir-fries but it's not like they take effort. But I make my own sweet and sour chicken and...I can make a mean pineapple and ham omlette as well as a pineapple and ginger/cinnamon omlette

Only thing I ever took to naturally was baking, though. I've never used a cook book in my life...I just do it based on what I think. I can make rock-cakes, cup-cakes...Cake-cakes. Pasties, sausage rolls and cookies.
All based on what I've picked up through life, without actually looking anything up.
I made Pizza at random in school once...But now I can't seem to make a Pizza to save my life. It looks nice but never tastes too good. I even looked it up a few weeks back to make sure I had it right...I had it perfect...

But yeah, I guess I'm a good cook. I always make my own meals. Now I often buy pre-chopped veg, though...Because it's actually alot cheaper.

Oh, yeah! I make crumbles, too. Normally apple and blackberry or raspberry. And it's kinda nice when my family come home and the first thing they say is "What's our treat tonight, then?"

[Sir_Altair]

Me, a good cook? Oh hell no. I could probably ruin cereal somehow.

If I don't marry a woman who can cook, I'm fucked. XD

Compromise, then :D Like, offer to do the dishes if she cooks! I'm hoping I find a woman who doesn't mind doing the dishes, myself, I hate dishes with a passion that makes absolutely no sense but they just piss me off and make me want to throw them!

... On the other hand, I learned last night that Pork Souvlaki can indeed be made in the microwave... being too lazy to cook leads to new discoveries! :D

[Tinkleheimer]

The 3 items I use most when cooking, Chicken, Green Pepper, and a Wok. Although I haven't cooked like that in a long time!

Actually, the girl I'm interested in right now LIKES cooking... I'm not even kidding, she honestly enjoys cooking. She's damn good at it too; hell, she's going to a culinary institute for it. Free gourmet food FTW.

I would've gone to a culinary institute, but cooking for me is more of a hobby than a passion. I'm good at it, and I enjoy it, but I wouldn't want to cook for a living.

[Sir_Altair]

Oh, she can't get enough of it.

...I am RIGHT behind her on that. She really takes pride in her cooking, as she is good at it, so I say more power to her and more food to me. <__<

[Chaos Theory]

I cant cook worth shit

Gotta find me a girl that knows how to cook or I'm fucked

[Kaffee]

I'm not a great cook, but I'm a pretty good cook. I like to bake, marinade and BBQ. Stuff like that.
