Poll: Cooking skill

[Azure Sky]

I can generally follow a recipe, but I know enough basics to get by.

Also, I can make some mean scrambled eggs.

If it is microwaveable/frozen, then I can cook it... otherwise I usually end up failing pretty hard.

[sub]The searchbar suggests something similiar has been done before, but that was a year ago[/sub]

It was actually done earlier this month.

Are you sure? The searchbar showed me one that was done in early june, but that was in 2009.

I'm sure. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.200033-Poll-Can-you-cook?page=1] I remembered it being done recently so I searched "cook" and it was the first result.

I can make a wide range of quite tasty sandwiches like steak sandwiches, BLT's of course as well as garlic toast. I do not trust myself with the oven yet though... I can make all that food because I have before, but lately I have been living off of microwaved burritos.

I manage.
My mom's a bit of a Mussolini in the kitchen, so I've learned a lot of great stuff from her.

I probably won't have to try to open a three star restaurant, because I can't say I'm passionate about it (although it can be fun and fulfilling). But yeah. I can cook. Sure.
Good-tasting food option. I'll have some real good wine to go with it too.

Raaargh! Forgive my carelessness; I should have tried several search-words.

Gimme some meat and an open fire and ill grill the shit out of it
and I can smoke a mean set of ribs.
Gas grills are for wimps. Real men use wood.

Of course real men don't use any wood. Real men use hickory that they've split themselves.

Real men grill meat with the heat radiating from their wood [sub]If you know what I mean[/sub]. Be sure not to set fire to your wood though, you don't want that.

I'm a fairly decent cook. I Can make some really good fish-dishes, a few sauces (including tomato sauce from scratch), some decent varieties of chicken and a fair amount of meat dishes too, both from whole and grounded meat. Oh, and I make some wicked mashed potatoes!

 

[theamazingbean]

I can make just about anything, sauces are about the only thing I have trouble with. I can make a mean thai chili sauce though.

Boiling an egg is harder than boiling vegetables if you want to get it right.

And you're not supposed to boil an egg, you're supposed to cook it


....... Yes, I'm a kitchen... wizard, apparently.

 

[Iznat]

I'm an awesome cook. I love baking

Just made a spicy chicken thing with salads ^_^


Cooking be awesome, but I tend to buy too many ready meals or pizzas. >_> Ain't doing me no favours

 

[Sebenko]

FOOD! HELLS YEAH!
Of course I can cook.
You've seen my food articles in the review section, right?

I'd write more, but I lose interest unless I get an entirely unreasonable amount of attention for it.

 

[PolarBearClub]

I could follow a recipe if it was put in front of me, but I have no self-knowledge of cooking.

I don't really enjoy food like other people. I eat what I have to, but nothing about food excites me. I have a fair few vegetarian friends who constantly talk about new ingredients and combinations of foods they've discovered, and it does nothing for me.

 

[Sqalevon]

I'm a good cook, nothing Wiz-like, but when I make something for my family or friends I'm always complemented so I suppose that makes me good
The only problem is that when I cook, I like to use all fresh ingredients and take my time, so I dont get to cook a lot. But when I do I make it look/taste good
For day to day nourishment I'm fine with quick food.

D'aaaaaawwwww
Does someone need a hug?

OT:
I can cook my family rib recipe and a few basic things.
the only thing "outstanding" ive ever done was just mix a bunch of random crap in a jar and added it to rice, and that was actually pretty good ^_^

 

[SmoothGlover]

This is pretty much the opposite of me. If I have a recipe in front of me then I create a lot of unpleasant, unedible tosh, whereas, when free-wheelin' it I have come up with some quite nice (and scientifically edible) food.

I'm actually currently planning on taking four years of French in high school, then moving to France to go to a super legit cooking school.
