What can you cook?

[AngelicSven]

Pretty much anything, in any fashion as I'm a culinary major.
I have a pretty beast recipe for these spicy gourmet burgers I make.

 

[Kingpopadopalus]

What can you cook without using a mircowave?\
And is there anything you can cook from scratch?

You give me a recipe and the ingredients and I can cook it.

I can cook and bake a wide variety of things. I was planning on going to Culinary School, but decided I was better off sticking with going to school for engineering since chefs really don't make much unless they're famous.

I'm pretty decent at cooking and baking. I can easily bake bread and cookies (raisin, chocolate chip, ginger snaps etc.) from scratch, as well as cakes, brownies and cupcakes using packaged mixes. I've made pizza from scratch, sauce included.
I've also made a fried chicken dinner (chicken, bread, mashed potatoes and gravy) almost entirely from scratch, I used instant mashed potatoes only because I didn't feel like make the homemade version (though I can make them).

 

[Chris646]

I can make ramen, cereal, brownies and cookies. That's about it.

I can cook quite well actually. It's just one of those cases where you beg a parent to let you try cooking and then your excitement quickly turns to anger as you start cooking half the meals from there after.

anything as long as i have the recipe after all i am a chef

 

[Spacelord]

A Student Cook really. An active dislike of shitty fast food, combined with not having the money to eat out every day. Add a sprinkling of inventivity, and a hint of desire to have varied meals, and you have a cook.

Nobody will accuse it of being haute cuisine, but I can always start doing that when I actually have the money to do so.

Same here, actually. Also: am I the only one that thinks it's just really fun? Put on a cd and start whipping up something nice. Really rewarding, too.

I will say this though: I hardly ever cook for myself. I just GOT to have an audience, y'know.

 

[Voodoomancer]

Chocolate chip waffles. Theoretically pancakes as well, but I haven't tried it yet.

 

[Xaio30]

I can cook an amazing salad with tomatoes, a cucumber, ten garlic pieces bathed in chili marinade, a leek, a jar of Feta cheese, some olives and finally some pickled onions.

It tastes great!

 

[Wintermoot]

basic stuff like egg,s and pancakes (also beer pancakes which is the same as regular pancakes but taste a bit like beer and use beer instead of milk.)

 

[novixz]

Ramen, cake, brownies, some meats, french fries, tots, pizza, basic stuff.

 

[DistinctlyBenign]

Just about anything if I have access to All-Recipes.

Without a recepie, anything easy, like steak, bacon, burgers, hotdogs, chicken.

I know a few harder things off the top of my head, like Chicken Parmesan.

Also, Baking. I know how to make like 10 different kinds of cookies, cheesecake, brownies, and bread off the top of my head. All from scratch, I don't hold with mixes in my baking.

Cooking and baking are one of my very few marketable skills.

 

[deserteagleeye]

I can make Jimmy Dean's Sausage patties...that's about it.

 

[The SettingSun]

EGGY BREAD! mmmmmmmmm eggy bread....

 

[velcrokidneyz]

I'm Italians so i have learned a lot of good pasta gnocchi and sauces from scratch, sooo good. i like to consider myself a great self taught cook mostly. i work at a grocery store and get shocked looks when i not only tell them where something is but i sometimes give advice on recipes.

If i wasnt going to school for computer network systems admin i would be going to school for cooking. i would love to own a restaurant but the success rate of the is 50/50. :S

 

[Duck Sandwich]

I can cook well enough that I'd rather cook food for myself than eat food that's made by someone else. I like to cook beef vegetable soup (beef broth + water + carrots + cabbage), ham and cheese omelettes, and Ham and Cheese pitas. Also, the occasional chicken pie, topped with either cottage cheese, or all bran and yogurt.

 

[FalloutJack]

I can cook anything provided I have a set of instructions and a proper list of ingredients at hand, definitely. I also have a penchant for experimentation which is not so much cooking as...

[HEADING=1]SCIENCE![/HEADING]

...with often delicious results. That is not what you call a perfectly reliable act, though. If you're depending on me for a good meal, you show me a cookbook and an array of ingredients.

 

[TheIronRuler]

I'm an excellent cook, mostly due to necessity since my mom basically gave up on housework after her third kid. Being the middle child forced me into slavery... eh - housework.
I cook, I clean... And that's pretty much it.
My favorite dish is making spaghetti with sea food, topped with mushroom cream sauce.
Does is sound good?
No.
Does it taste good?
YES.

That, and generally it's a good idea to let somebody else test your experiments first. You know, to be on the safe side.
