cooking

to be honest, I have never cooked anything serious besides at school

 

i luuurve cooking,ive been home alone the past week so done lots of cooking the best thing i make is probs thai style chicken with spiced basmati rice...its sooo nice. take the chicken,cut it into tiny pieces and put it in a very hot pan,throw some salt on,a bit of pepper,add some shredded chilli,then toss it all while it fries. in the last 2 mins i add in some thai spices and fry some more,and then add the spices to the rice. its AWESOME nom nom nom lol

 

I guess it would be cool, though idk. I never learned to cook anything serious :3

 

I cannot cook to save my life. *sighs* ...oh well, lol....

 

i can only cook stuff like asian stir-fry and soups. and baking is another story...

 

i cant even cook a egg properly so i cant cook

but i still try nothing can stop me XD it so much fun

 

I can cook! I love stir fries. I make a mean,chicken,brocchli ,pasta in alfredo sauce. And I'm the only one in my house who can cook steak the right way! I hate baking,though.

 

I love cooking! I've never tried anything too complicated, but my black raspberry pie won a contest once ^_^ I also make some pretty kickass chocolate chip cookies. I also love cooking noodles from scratch... Yum.

 

I love to cook also. My favorite dish to make is chili.

 

I'm a sous-chef at a restaurant here, have worked in the industry for almost 5 years, and went to college for culinary arts.

Favourite thing to cook? Probably Pasta. There's just so much room for creativity.
To eat? A good steak. Or pasta (pesto cream sauce).

 

Hey 'lordjord96', you sound a bit 'up-market' there buddy! LOL Trout and duck, don't you know! LOL No, hey good for you. I love REAL food, and I love both duck and trout. But sorry, I think 'crispy fried duck' ruins a gorgeously succulent and rich flavoured meat. Agree/disagree?

Hey, 'partietraumatic' - I'm on my way round!

Me? Yeah I cook fairly well, didn't always know how to though. I think my chicken curry is now about right; so to my Spaghetti Bolognese/Lesagne; as is my chilli-con-carne; my sweet-and-sour pork stir-fry with bean sprouts , mixed vegetables, and water chestnuts; plus some traditional 'brit' dishes such as casserole of beef, meat (beef) pudding, and shepherd's pie.

Followed up with maybe a fruit crumble, a syrup pudding, pears and summer fruits braised in red wine, jam roly-poly (WTF?), or bread pudding.

I'm also known to sometimes make sweet things like chocolate sponge cake, lemon sponge cake, fruit cake, etc.

But look, I've got years on you guys. If I'm totally honest, I could hardly cook at all until I was nearly 40. Then I decided to try and discovered I could do it and actually really enjoyed it. You guys keep it up. Good food, nicely cooked with imagination is one of life's other real pleasures - LOL - no, you really don't need to ask that now do you?

I absolutely love to cook!! I am always on the hunt for a new recipes to try, but I am kind of limited to the stove top seeing how my oven doesn't work ( the heating coil is shot).

My favorite thing to do is to make up a quick stir fry using assorted vegetables, some type of meat ( usually chicken or pork) and then serve on a bed of rice. People who try it tell me it's awesome!!

 

I can not cook. I can barely boil water
