    Default Who likes cooking?

    I used to hate cooking because i figured i wasn't so good at it, but recently i've been getting into it more and more, even to the point where i kind of think i'd like to go to some cooking classes

    I've been getting more and more ingredients over the past few weeks to make different things, my kitchen cupboard has never been so full

    But if anyone has any recipes or tips or anything i'd love to hear them, my next cooking adventure is going to be making batter and using it to make onion rings

    What made you like cooking? I'm just curious, because I hate cooking. Just last week, I learned what the broiler was, lol. I think if I was good at it, I'd enjoy it, but I also find cooking extremely boring. Not to mention, hand-washing all the pots and pans since I can't put them in my dishwasher.

    I love to cook. I make ready to eat later meals and things to travel with. I mostly love making my own jams and applesauce.

    It was a chore. At first I only made things when I was hungry. So it had to be simple and fast. I have learned to prepare things to be ready when I become hungry. Though I confess my cooking revolves mostly around a frying pan, a steamer, and a crock pot.

    The crock pot rules the day. Since I can just set it up and let it work. Like I put in 4-6 frozen chicken breast and a cup of chicken broth. Let this cook for 8 hours. When I get home, I add a cup of buffalo wing sauce and shred. I freeze and refrigerate poritions and I have spicy buffalo chicken sandwiches when I want.

    Easy peasy. Steam is good. Add frozen chicken breast, pour in frozen veggies, and sprinkle on spices. Add water and set for 30-40 minutes. Done. four things to wash. Fork, knife, plate, steamer. Bachelor dream set up right there.

    Oh, I enjoy cooking. Cooked last night for someone and burnt the fuck out of my hand on sauce.

    I love to cook. Stews, roasts, sauces, grilled meats, etc., there are just so many ways to put good food on the table.

    I really learned how to cook when I hit a period in my life when money was very tight. Want to know how to feed 2 people for a week on $50 or less? Learn how to cook! How does one take control when all of the chips are down? Live well by putting good food on the table!

    When things were tough, nothing made me feel like I was taking back control like preparing a great meal. And when the meal was cooking and the aromas filled the house, it felt like I was in a calm sanctuary.

    I LOVE cooking. I have hundreds of recipes saved on my hard-drive just waiting to be utilized. I fire up Pandora and shake my ass while I throw down in the kitchen. Last meal I concocted was seared fillet of pollock on a bed of spinach with corn, yellow peppers with a light dressing, and oven potatoes. Damned tasty.

    I second the youtube suggestion. You can learn just about any recipe you want to know in under 10 minutes.

    I admit I never started cooking until I got with my fiance. Most of my skills were acquired through trial and error.

    I'd like to get into cooking more. But I used to bake. (I make a mean chocolate chip with walnut cookie.) This weekend, I'm excited because I'm going to buy the ingredients for the cookies and bake.

    I love cooking. Not so much for myself, I really enjoy cooking for other people. Italian and French food are my favorites to cook, and I'll bake just about anything. I looove baking cakes for people on their birthdays! I have a phenomenal banana bread recipe, instead of mailing my dad a cake I mailed a few loaves to him for his bday because he likes it so much.

    Oh I forgot about my rice cooker.

    Ok another great bachelor kitchen gadget. Besides plain white rice, sometimes I make red beans and rice with it. I just add to cans of pintos to the 3 cups white rice and spices. Makes a huge amount, but I freeze some, and put some in plastic containers for later too.

    I also make batches for spicy rice mixes that I eat in place of noodles or pasta. So 4 cups of rice, a can of Rotel, and spices. I put into Tupperware, I heat it up and eat with spaghetti sauce. Less carbs.

    I don't know really, i always just assumed i didn't like cooking, then i started looking at recipes and trying things and i just liked it more and more. I've always been really picky about knowing what is exactly in the food i eat and always paranoid about it not being prepared cleanly and stuff, so preparing all of my own food from the basic ingredients appeals to me because it kind of solves that problem

    Hey thanks, i was already using youtube, it's amazing really, i learn best from actually seeing someone do something, and the same goes for cooking, so actually being able to see people cook their recipes is a huge help. I didn't know about foodnetwork.com so i'm checking that out now, thankoo!

    I'm currently making homemade marinara as I browse SW... simmering garlic, oregano, parsley, basil, onion and olive oil to mix with the crushed tomatoes. The kitchen smells amazing!
