Poll: Cooking, can you do it?

[L.B. Jeffries]

I was the head line cook of a gourmet restaurant a long, long time ago in Lake Tahoe. Kinda miss it sometimes, particularly given my current career choice.

I'm pretty good. I cook almost anything, but my style is homemade with a spin that probably makes arteries cry. BUT I think I'm pretty good and I enjoy even my own meals. My boyfriend doesn't complain. Then again, he can't cook, and knows I'd make him cook his own if he did complain.

If your definition of cooking is loose enough to include Toast, Kraft Dinner and add-water-and-some-other-stuff-to-make Brownies then yes, I can cook.

I can cook, although I doubted I could until the last year or two and the Internet has been a great help! Websites like recipezaar.com have helped me be brave and try new things. I am still quite surprised each night when I make something delicious!

Blood sausage or Death!



No, but seriously, I make some sweet mommybumping Death!

 

[ayoama]

I'm really proud of my risotto

 

[Smiles]

I made an omelette once, it was a monster omelette, and it was delicious. I can't cook at all.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Can cook mostly anything, but works best Italien style.

I'm a reasonable cook, most of of my food tastes pretty good, even if it isn't always exactly what the recipe says it should be.

I make a mean roast dinner though.

 

[moretimethansense]

I can cook to a degree in that I can mimic cooking
if someone tells me to look in a recipie book and cook something it is nearly always a disaster but if I watch someone else cook I can repeat most of what i've been shown the only fult is i'm lazy and don't feel the need for a varied diet so I don't get much practice in plus i'm very inattentive, once I tried to make something as simple as egg & chips (fries to you yanks) forgot about it and returned half an hour later to find a deep frier full of black sticks and a frying pzn full of ash.

As a side note, I got into a cooking discussion yesterday with some friends (non-gamers) who said they could cook Italian food better than I could. WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!??! We now have a cook off between 3 people in 3 weeks and all of our friends are coming over to taste test. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Theres a pattern in my family.
My nan cant cook at all.
So my mom had to cook ALL her own food and she is a great cook.
Cause my mom is a great cook, I dont need to know how to cook: so I can't.

If anyone else's family has this pattern, let me know.

My greatest culinary acheivement has been Teriyaki Salmon with noodles.
Tasted alright in all fairness.

I'm a pretty good cook, which is good because my wife can't cook at all. My favorite thing to make is lamb cooked in my red wine sauce with sautéed mushrooms.

 

[Ionami]

Would've been nice to have an option of: "Yes, I AM a chef."

 

[arcainia]

Hell yeah I can cook.
....whether it is actually edible when I'm done or not though is open for debate;...

 

[Abedeus]

I can make a pizza. Does that make me good?

 

[DragunovHUN]

I can cook. If following a recipe counts as cooking. I have a hard time remembering which process belongs to which food. The only things i can do without a recipe are bolognese and my carrot cream soup. And of course, like most men, i make very good scrambled eggs.

 

[Hawgh]

I'm a pretty good cook, sadly, I cannot afford good ingredients on a regular basis.

 

[NAL]

Yes, but only things like beans on toast. I'm very careless - I've cooked a metal fork in a microwave before. Therefore, I try not to heat meals, rather get someone else to do it for me.

 

[Iampringles]

I can whip up the odd gammon steak or garlic prawns. Working in a pub does have some uses.

Now I've just got to work on my Nigella Lawson style moans of delight.

Ah, Nigella...

If you can perfectly replicate those moans of delight, I applaud you.

As for the cooking, I can cook pretty well, should the need arise.
