Cooking Options

[sixfive]

Well I guess first off, do you cook? How long have you been cooking for? What got you into cooking? Do you cook for fun or for practicality or for economic reasons?

I'll answer the question since I also asked lolololl - I've cooked since fourth grade, taught by my dad, and I cook for enjoyment / experimentation with foods/flavors. It also ended up being a nice skill to have especially from a female friend perspective :] but that's far from why I cook.

Second, how are you when you're cooking? For instance, last time I cooked I had a couple friends over whom I was cooking for. I told them to do whatever they wanted for about thirty minutes, tv, computer, wii, xbox, ps3, dogs, whatever they so desired. They wanted to help me cook, though :( I can't cook with other people unless they know exactly what I want them to do. I've cooked with my dad (he taught me how) since fourth grade so we can share a kitchen fairly well. We'll split up the chores and just go at it. My friends realllly wanted to help me cook though, so I didn't want to be an ass and say no so I had them do simple things that would hopefully take up a lot of time.

I don't like sharing a kitchen, at all. When I cook everything's going through my head in a way that if I tried to explain it I would sound like a babbling fool, but it all makes perfect sense to me.

lol I made a topic a really long time ago asking how people who cook got into cooking.


I don't really like to cook, but I love to bake. I bake whenever I'm stressed, or whenever I'm happy... but I will NOT bake in the summertime when it is so hot. I don't think anyone wants to turn the stove on in the heat.

I'm a pretty good cook, because my aunt taught me how to cook from a very young age (she's a fabulous cook who doesn't believe in using anything out of a can, or dried noodles, etc.). She didn't just teach me how to cook things the way she did, but also why. I know quite a few people who can cook delicious food but can't tell you what basic ingredients do.

I'll share the kitchen, but only if the person/people helping out want to be bossed around.
