Sushi, Macaroni Cheese, and a handful of epic desserts (baked alaska ftw).
Not much, but I'm apparently quite good at it

I am such a bad cook, I don't why the culinary arts elude me so. Wish I could get classes but unlike France and America where there seems to be pottery/glassblowing/cooking/massage/spy classes all over the shop, where I live in Ireland has virtually nothing like that.
Considering i live on my own for quite a while now, yeah i can cook, pretty much whatever i feel like eating, else i would starve to death or die form boredom eating just one thing over and over. Plus i rarely let anyone cook for me, they just never add enough spices and i hate bland food.
Omellettes, sandwiches, pastries, the odd cake.
I'm quite good at it though, and with a recipe to follow, I can make anything.

I'm sure you could cook some simple things, at least. Don't let a few failed attempts make you judge yourself as incapable at cooking. Takes practice, trial and error, that's all7 said:
I occasionally accidentally evaporate all the water too, if I leave it to boil and go do something else. I learnt to only leave it on the highest heat setting when I am there watching it, and when it starts boiling, I will turn the oven down a few notches.
I can cook and bake. Some of my family don't like the of lack of meat (too bad, I'm vegetarian, and make sure the food I make is abundant in nutrients), or find some meals not flavorful enough because I don't add a heap of salt.
Following a recipe isn't difficult, and I usually make slight changes.
I experimented with food from a very young age. I learnt that making crackers with flour, water, and powdered coffee at the bottom of a square cake tin is disgusting and requires the tin to be soaked to get the dried stuff off, I also learnt that five year old lemon flavouring and milk tastes foul, that adding sultanas to an improvised sugary baked pancake did not justify the name "health nut sultana patty", and that the idea of milk added to vanilla coke was kind of gross. I'd even poorly designed a "vanilla spider" logo and wanted to market and sell it, at eight years old.
Nowadays I don't do so many crazy things. I can bake lemon meringue pie, chocolate chip cookies, carrot cake, brownies, and cheesecake.
The dinner recipes I can cook without a recipe in front of me are spinach and cheese rolls, vegetable curry from scratch, pasta with sauce, coconut rice, vegetable bake, lasagna, and I can't think of what else.
I sadly struggle with the basic meals like Vegetables and steak. That said, besides basics im a brilliant chef and love cooking, my favorites being Curries, hot pots and Japanese dishes like Ramen. I refuse to become a chef though because they're so horribly under-paid and work overtime too much with bare minimal pay.
I'm a bit of a cook. I tend to experiment a fair bit with different ingredients now and then to see what happens. I generally get good comments about my cooking regardless of what it is, and I do put in more effort when cooking for other people.
I do err on the Japanese side of things due to living their for a while, but I like to dabble in more traditional European styles and more often than not cuisine from the middle-east and the sub-continent. I've just had a lot of influences in my cooking due to people I've lived with.

I live in a shared accommodation, but everyone cooks for themselves so my repository inculdes:
Stir-fries (a variety thereof)
This really rich meat-stew thing - Can't cook it due to not having proper equipment
A few things of my own creation (That taste awesome).
My father was a great cook, so I had my own standards set high. Most of the time, I meet them.

Yeah I can cook.....different types of cuisine even.
Being able to prepare your own food is AN ESSENTIAL SKILL.
A lot of people my age don't know how to cook......wich I think is sad.
