i do not bake. i can not bake. i can however, perform magic with a frying pan. and yeah, im WAY too inconsistent and never use recipes. NOT pro material. i learned to cook because the rest of my family couldnt those whose cooking i never experienced firsthand, i heard horror stories about. (to my mother: arsenic is not an acceptable substitute for salt, just no. and if its cutting up someones mouth, you probably shouldnt serve it. to my father: maybe clean that first... and then, maybe try melting the cheese, or perhaps browning at LEAST the outside of the beef first?)

I'm not terrible at food-building, but for some reason I cannot master pancakes. Every time I try to make them, something goes terribly wrong, and it usually ends in fire and pain.
Can make a few things here and there, but always practicing to improve the dishes I can make rather then learning any other ones.
I love cooking, I would never want to do it as a job but I could quite easily.
I make wonderful meals for my family and I have an autistic son who has eating issues and won't eat anything I make or usually anyone makes for that matter. It really kills me sometimes.

Cooking is one of my passions in life, and I'm quite good at it. My Red Curry Stew and Nikujaga are great, and I cook a mean lemon catfish, among other things. If there's an interesting recipe, I'm usually writing it down.
I can cook quite well. It did surprise me that some people cannot do it at all though. My EX couldn't even cook sausages or tell when eggs were done. I found that odd as from my perspective it's simple to tell from looking at them. plus it's something you learn by doing, if you have made something 3 or 4 times you learn how long it takes to cook. It's simple.
.. Scary. That's exactly the same situation I was in. I did some courses, then I tried working in a cafe and man, that was not fun. Way too stressful. I prefer cooking in a relaxed environment.AnGeL.SLayer said:
I prefer cooking at home and I'm not too shabby. ^^;
I seem to have a natural knack for cooking. Just from a taste or even sometimes by the smell of something I can tell what it needs more or less of.
I wanted to be a chef for a while...then I saw all the cooks at big bowl going nuts on all that stuff that had to constantly make, on their feet for 7 hours at a time, in an amazingly hot kitchen, with tons of other people, with a lot of multitasking, way too many flames shooting from the stove, all with waiters yelling about where their order is, all for it to end up a little cold because the waiter is a ditz and didn't grab the dish till 10 minutes too late and you end up having to reheat the damned thing....yeah not for me.
