I sort of wish I knew how to cook most food. That sad guy you see in the grocery store buying frozen dinners and other stuff you can stick in the microwave. Theres something about putting effort into something I have to do to survive that just irks me, I hate waiting to eat.
I bake bread mostly. Usually a few big loaves a week and a few little ones if I'm upset and feel the urge to knead.
I can make a pretty tasty chocolate cake laced with courgettes and topped with yoghurt. Sounds like a health food kick, I know, but the courgette is there to provide extra moisture to the cake and thick greek yoghurt is better than any frosting I've yet come across. I've also used riccotta cheese mixed with granulated sugar.
I guess I don't have much of a sweet tooth.

YES I CAN *proud pose*
Learned to just two days ago and it was easy and DELICIOUS.
It's true what they say: cooking is just like chemistry. Except instead of "add 0,487 mol of Nacl" it's more like "add a pinch of salt."
The best part is that it was a double win. You see I live with two woman, who both love cooking, in an age where half of all tv-shows are cooking related. And since I can't cook they CONSTANTLY want to teach me. So instead of some extravagant dish I'll never make again I had them teach me how to make cake.
They left me alone for a while, I learned to make something I actually want to make, AND there is now a delish cake in the fridge. One could almost say I had my cake and ate it too. :3

I can do some simple recipes
also if you have leftover beer and want some pancakes just replace the milk with beer it tastes awesome.

I haven't baked in years. When I did, I was fairly competent at it.
Mind you, this was Food Technology GCSE.

If it's the kind that has the cake mix in a box and only requires water and a few other things, I have baked a cake like that. I think anyone could, you just have to follow the directions. As for a recipe with more than 4 ingredients, I haven't tried it yet.
Long as I have a recipe and the materials I can make a pretty decent cake. Last one I made was pretty plain planning wise, but it still came out delicious as anything.
Baking's not my thing though, I'm much better with cooking...foods that are a bit less strict. Training to be a chef though, so I take experience where I can get it.

I love to bake, but they often turn out very different to how I intended. For instance, last time I tried to bake cookies, and they ended up being muffins. Cookie-muffins are actually delicious.
Despite my love of baking, I actually am terrified of cooking, because they never give as strict a list of instructions
My family find it surreal

I love baking, but since I started dieting I haven't been able to bake as much. All I have are these oatmeal bars that are low calorie and healthy. I really want to bake some brownies, damnit! Or mint chocolate bars.
I'm very well known around my school for my banana bread. I bring in loaves of it to give my friends at lunch. It's usually gone in about two minutes. I'm also good with other types of cooking, which led to me being made the official cook for my group of friends.
