I have not learned how to cook Lasagna. Although, this dish is very easy to make, I still have not tried making it. I have never baked a cake. I may have helped lick the bowl, but not where I have prepared it. I have never baked a pie, I still have to learn how to do this. I know that all these things are easy to make. I just have never made them on my own. I have either bought them freshly made out of the grocery store or someone has made them. If you dare, tell me the food or foods that you have not yet learned how to cook.

Hi cream97! Same here, i don't know how to cook lasagna yet as well as baked macaroni. I always tend to go to one place that serves delicious of its kind. I have seen several recipes on the internet but I don't think i have the courage to cook them for now, though i love cooking! Hopefully, someday, somehow, someone will teach me how to do it. Well, goodluck to both of us then. Have a great day

Lasagnia is not difficult to make but there are a lot of things that can go wrong with it such as not enough sauce or two much sauce or not letting it set before cutting in to it. Baking cakes is easy most people used boxed mixes and all you have to do is follow the directions on the box. The one thing that I have not learned to make yet that I want to learn is how to make soufle. I don't know if it is easy or not as I have never tried it. I consider myself a really good cook and that is one of those things that is suppossed to be challenging so I want to attempt making one.

I wish I could learn how to make Chicken and Dumplings. My husband's mom used to make this all the time, but I never got the chance to make learn how to make it. I would also love to learn how to make Chicken Fried Steak. I always use a box to make a cake. I do make cookies from scratch as well as pies, fudge and holiday candy.

I have not yet learned how to make shrimp scampi, the way I like it that is. I have made it on several occasions, but it just doesn't turn out like the restaurants. I have followed recipes to the t. And I have also switched them up a bit, but I just can't make it taste as good as most restaurants. I say most, because I have been to some restaurants which seem to have as much trouble making it as I do. LOL The other thing I can't make is brown breakfast gravy the way my grandmother made it. I can just about get the taste, but mine seems to be either too thick or too thin. I guess if I were to try and make it more often, then I might have a bit more luck. Good look in learning all of these new recipes that you would like to learn!

Hi, kid.. I have heard of scrimp scampi in a meal in the frozen section at the grocery store.. It sounds very delicious! I can't make brown gravy from scratch. My aunt used to make it from the grease of the meat that she used to fry. And she would mix it with flour.. I tried doing it this way, but it came out bumpy and lumpy.. I need to ask my aunt to teach me her trick on making this!

It would have been easier for me to reply if you asked the question as what all you know to cook? & i would have answered the only stuff which i knew to cook is 2 mins instant noodles. and if you forgive me, i would also tell that i can make boiled eggs. lol.

I have just recently gotten bit by the baking bug...so I have been churning out all kinds of cakes,cookies,pies,cupcakes...I'm always looking for something new to bake. I started out just doing boxed mixes...but I decided to challenge myself...I figured if people were doing it before mixes came out, I could do it!...but I digress...LOL... I do cook a lot too...I make a mean baked mac with 6 diff cheeses...yummy!!! but the one thing that I would love to learn how to make would be Gumbo...my dad has made it many a times and I have watched him do it...but just never took it on myself...maybe I will make some for Thanksgiving!

Hi, lwilliams_84. Gumbo is a very delicious soup. I have eaten it from an can. I have never made it homemade. I was really thinking of making me a homemade soup of my choice..

Hi, Hatley. My husband loves souffle. He likes the Stoffer's brand.. I can't see how he eats it. I had tried Spinach Souffle but I don't really like the way that it tastes.. At least you can bake a cake and a pie..
