Are you a good cook?

I suck. I mean I really suck. For my lunch today, all I had to do was shove a frozen meal in the oven - but the pastry didn't rise and the cheese didn't melt. My mum can make even a ready meal taste delicious - why should exactly the same procedure work for her and be a disaster for me?

i can cook.

Me too

I am an excellent cook, if anyone is even in my vicinity you should give me a shout and make me cook for you.

I am an excellent cook also. Which means if Corran and I get in the kitchen together, we'll kill each other with spoons.

hmmm... you do yerss-sized dinners too cor?

I, myself, am imo a pretty good cook... I mostly "learn" things from a friend of mine who is the best chef around (besides corran) in the entire world
that and I do my own little trying... got my own speciality and all
I'll throw some at phoe for her to taste since she started the topic
*throws spoon at phoe*

Kill each other with spoons? Hey, I like that! I need to see it!

I learned how to cook from my father, who in turn learned how to cook from his father, who was the head chef at the Waldorf Astoria in New York city when he first came to this country. My father and I used to stay up till all hours of the night cooking. Sometimes we would cook just for the sake of cooking. Now, I cook all the time. The first rule I had to learn was that you CAN NOT cook everything on high! Sometimes you have to cook it lower and longer, but it tastes better in the end!

*is shocked* this passion, omg.

Real cookery in the home is dying out to some extent as there is now so many convenience-foods on the supermarket shelves.

The cooker has been exchanged for the microwave and the food-processor has been exchanged for the chiller-cabinet or the can.

I think that as all of the best cooks and chefs are men we should fight to keep the home-cooked food as the norm. After all, I have found that the most erotic and aphrodisiacal thing that a man can do is take the girl-friend home and cook her a great meal....after that guys... she is yours !

guys i need your help, i can cook, but i dont have access to many recipes, but im looking for stir fry recipes, u guys know any or where i can get any? to be precise beef or pork stir fry.

also, cooking is dying out because people just dont have the time or the energy anymore, which is such a shame.

Nice one Yerssot.....

And....PR1983....

If you just knock everything off after the ".com" on the above addresses and hit your enter button again you will get to the homepage of those addies ! After that , the sky's the limit !

The internet is crammed full of great cooking tips so why don't you just pop the word "cooking" ( without the quotes ), into GOOGLE and read on !

I'm a suberb cook, you can even ask all the people I've cooked for. They can all be found in the same place - the cemetery...

I love to cook, and more importantly bake
It's relaxing for me and I like being in the kitchen alone

Mind you Baylin....

It is difficult to get information out of a corpse !

I'm a great salad maker.

seriously though I am a very good cook and I love to experiment with different food from all over the world (Not all in the same dish though!)

oh that takes skill

Ahhhh...but do you eat it ?

Salad is for rabbits !

Yeah and look what else rabbits are famous for - I'm with the Salad!
And no I dont mean a little fluffy tail!

I just got lost there

But I love caesar salad and greek salad

bleurgh, you don't make friends with salad

I aim to hit

A nice cold pasta and rice salad with lots of tomato and a nice vingerette dressing, maybe some garlic and herb bread as well.

Dessert - chocolate cake!!!

A nice hot sirloin-steak with French mustard and as long as they don't take up much room on the plate a few mushrooms and fried onions and fried potatoes.

THAT...is real food !

not for those of us who plan to live past 40

thx guys ive tried googling before but it just didnt seem to work for me,
thx again

Drop the french mustard, make it English whole grain with whisky mustard and you've got a perfect meal!drool

Not going to argue with THAT as I like wholegrain mustard too !

Silver Tears.....

I am well past forty and I am as strong and fit as I was last year when I was throwing trees and heavy weights about a Highland Games field !

I think that meat is fine as long as it is the best cuts and it is low-fat !

As long as the onions and the potatoes are fried in monosaturated fat - and used only once - there is very little risk of any cholesterol choking the veins or arteries there !

funny, I just entered beef stir fry and pork stir fry on google and that was the first site to pop up

darn, just returned from a rather excellent oriental meal... if there is one thing I can recommand it's that soup with lemongrass (if that's the correct english name)

I love to cook, and women love it when I cook...oh YEA Jackpot baby!

My favorite thing to do is probably chicken wrapped in bacon, or sirloin steaks, or a fillet, with a side of rice and beans. (The rice and beans are standard, I'm Puerto Rican.)

I'm not an expert, but is fun to practice.

I'm more of a season eater. During summer I like salad bars. In Fall and winter I love soups. I suck at making soups. My favorite is onion soup.

I can't cook cry
well I can boil eggs and that's about it



so do I greek salad I mean

droolio yummers

This is off topic but...What's the name of the song in your sig!?!? I've heard that song for years on the radio but never found out the title.

Im a great cook, but I dont enjoy cooking, so i tried to avoid it in the past. Now, I have an eating plan which requiers a lot of cooking, so i guess im just gonna have to get used to it.

Yea, I can cook! All I need are the microwave times and there!

it's "You gotta be" by Desree(?) great song

http://www.lyrc.com.ar/lyric/D/Desree_You%20Gotta%20Be.html

Thanks!

I'm a horrible, horrible cook. Almost everything I cook turns out inedible. But I am trying to get better.

I can bake quite well, though

I am a fine cook (by my own standards)......

I can teach you but I have to charge.
*shakes dat bootay*

my mom teaches me how to cook now and then, and she is an awesome cook

My cooking is fine cuisine, mon ami! eat chef

I haven't heard that song in so long.

*hugs Evy* I was so scared that everyone was gonna be a great cook! We can suck at cooking together!

BAsically, I am queen of 'things on toast', salads, and cold desserts. Ask me to cook anything more complicated and I crumble! I always add too much of something or too little, or it never bakes in the time the recipe says... etcetc

Baking... Like chocolate cake!

nah the kitchen is a womens domain so I stay the hell out

I can make cakes okay...but what I'm really good at baking is cookies

*hugs* sure, as long as we don't have to eat what each other cooks I take?...

and it's very easy to warm stuff on the microwave as well... I'm excellent at that
I'll learn how to cook sometime though



yeah this is the one

I can fry an egg

glad to be of service

I cook, my food at least. My brother used to say that he likes my food that the food prepared by my mother.

with or without shell?

could anyone tell me how much:

1 lb. of cheese (it is pound, right? and in kilos?)
1/4 c. sugar (cup? or what?, and if cup how much it would be in mililitres)
2 tbsp. light rum ( totally no idea what tbsp could be)



thank you very much.

No, I wouldn't want to poison you with my cookery!

tablespoon, also called a dessert spoon

you can get proper measuring cups with standerdised measurements

yes a pound, but I will have to find a conversion chart to tell you how much in kilos...

0.454KG is a pound
dunno but if it is a 1/4c then just get a 2 cups, fill one with sugar and then pour from that into the other until both are equal then empty one and repeat the pouring process.
20 ml

ok. so half kilo of cheese.

tablespoon is like soup spoon or coffe-spoon?


and 20 ml? is that 1/4c or what?

half a kilo of cheese, what are you planing to make a cholesterol bomb

not really... tiramisu

hmm sounds like hazard food for those with cardiac problems

i don't know.
all i know that it is damn tasty. and it's really hard to get here

oh.. and i didn't quote whole recipe bag

hahahaha

I'm a terrible cook. i stick to salads and ready made meals

But I do know someone who tried to boil an egg with no water in the pan

neither would I

I'm not a bad cook

That's that horrible song, I heard that somewhere

Yerss, do you really know how to cook?

of course, why wouldn't I know ?

yeah, it's Milkshake from Kelis

That song is horrible.

One of my best friends is going to culinary school, so I'm going to make her teach me to cook

but it's so fun to say
