What can you cook?

[aarontg]

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.

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.

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.

 

[arsenicCatnip]

I cook a lot, but most of it is Italian, Mexican, or American food.

My boyfriend and I make spaghetti pretty often, because it's quick and easy. For more complicated, I make chicken enchiladas in a sour cream sauce, homebaked chocolate chip cookies, secret recipe potato salad, and my dad's special fried chicken.

 

[XIII's Number XIV]

Neh, eggs and spaghetti I can cook normally. My mom taught me how to make chicken and my dad taught me my gramma's recipe for cookies and banana bread. Other than that, I have to rely on cookbooks or my friends.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

I can actually cook a multitude of things. Cracked my first egg at twelve, and never stopped trying to create and prefect my own recipes. I'm also one of those people who can make something tasty out of limited items in the fridge/pantry. Also, it's summer time, and the grill is my co-pilot to awesome deliciousness!


Best recipes:
Stuffed Bell Peppers, with finely grated pepper jack cheese.
Meatballs (secret spice technique *narrows eyes*)
Enchiladas.
Salmon Fillet and French Green Beans
Classic Chicken soup
Candied Walnuts

Cooking weaknesses (*angrily shakes fist*):
Crêpes
Fondant
Making fresh pasta.

There honestly isn't a lot I can't do in the kitchen. Would you have left a girl that could make you a fucking pot roast?? I didn't think so

I really love baking, though. Making a mess and having something delicious come out of it is super satisfying.

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. And it's even more fun when he can cook too
