Can You Cook?

[jaxc]

In the past few years, I have noticed that less and less people know how to actually cook. No, I am not talking about boiling water and dropping pasta in it, or heating something up in a microwave, I am talking about making something from nothing.

Some people can do very well, while others have no clue what a pan is used for.

For many years, my sister could not even boil water without burning it! Literally! I saw it with my own eyes!!! Yet, she makes some killer Banana Bread! Never could figure that one out.

So, can you cook? If so, what level of a cook are you at? What do you like to cook? Do your friends/family like what you cook? What are some of your best dishes you make?

burning water? wow! not to insult your sister or anything, but talk about Darwin award of the year:biggrin:JK!

I can cook, at least in my standards. Today I made chicken (I think it could be called strips of chicken in English), added this mix I made earlier (red onion, garlic, tomatoes and jalapenos) to it and for last I added some thick yogurt to it (sorry, I don't know all the English food terms). Then I filled the pitas I had with it... I have to be creative and cook what I can find from the fridge...

And I also like to bake, my favorite is double chocolate cookies with peanut butter filling

I can cook everything I was taught to cook. I learned a few things beyond was I was taught.

I ain't cooking no gourmet sh*t, just plain old house food.

Of course think about local things from here or uber common stuff like pasta, chiken, fish, whatever.

Don't expect me to make goulash, I wasn't born in Magyar-land. Unless you give me time to learn how.

I'm able to do something and to follow a recipe but I don't like cooking.
But... I'm Italian! The most of the Italian people who I know are good at cooking, and have a real passion, some friends spend part of the freetime cooking.
In my group I'm definitely the worst, LOL, someone is more able with the home-made pasta, someone with the meat, someone with other meals.
And there's some people in my family perfectly able to compete with a chef. I don't know who's Julia Child, but my cousin is definitely superior of her. ;-P

I live alone and I never bother to cook. Can't remember the last time I did it. I just take something from the fridge and eat it, or I will heat something in the microwave. Too lazy to stand in front of the stove for hours. And yes, since I never have to cook, I guess I cannot do it too.

Your display pic did an interesting trick!!!!

That was freaky!!!!!

Just because you go to school, does not mean you know anything.

I like grinding my own spices to put in my cooking. I enjoy cooking for my boyfriend.
