Be honest girls, can you COOK?, ???

Zhanec you know in india there is lot of competition, i have done post graduation and doctorate, i used to go to college at 9: am and come by 5:00 p.m., tired, so for almost 8-9 years, my life had been too busy to take out some time for even myself, besides there are also other reasons, my sister's son was living with us (me, my mom and dad), right from the time he was 4 months old, which means i also had to spend time with him, now since i got married last year, my life is at peace, i just try out to cook different receipes i.e. i am novice, but still not a great expert at receipes

I can confidently say that I can cook. I started cooking when I was in my elementary days, I started cooking simple dish, mostly fried, of course it was not perfect because I was really young then. But with constant practice and with a handy cookbook, I was able to master some of the dish I wanted to cook and also at the same time created my very own dish and specialty. Some of the cooking shows also really helped me in this area, I even learned how to bake at the same time. It's just a matter of hard work, constant practice, determination as well as imagination will surely help you learn to cook. Who knows? Someday, you get to create your very own dish or specialty.

Well, I gotta say, I cant cook to good. The only thing I can cook is those "ready meals" like Hamburger help. Everything you need is in the box, except ground beef. I guess the main reason I can't cook is because I just dont really like to do it. When we was little, my sister was always in the house helping my aunts & grandma cook. But I was always outside climbing trees, fishing or helping work on cars. So my sis is a good cook but I am horrable at it. I can make candy though, if I have a recipe. I know it sounds odd, but the thing that I have the most trouble cooking is noodles. Like for Mac & Cheese. My noodles are always soggy & taste like poop. LOL!

If I'm being completely honest, I can't cook. I can follow a recipe if it's sat in front of me, and I can make simple meals (quorn and veg, spaghetti bolognese, fajitas...). Aside from that, I'm no use. I can easily get by on what I can cook, it's all healthy enough, and there's no need to make big fancy meals.

well, I can cook (mostly indian and italian stuff) and it has become something i look foward to do. Though i learnt proper cooking only before i got married. Now, i have passed the bug to my husband as well.. and we have a new chef shaping up in the famuly.(

I can definitely COOK!:) I'm not really that good but, I can fry almost anything. I'm not afraid of splashing hot oil.Lols..I can make a spaghetti. What sauce do you want? hot and spicy or sweet and sour? I really don't have a special recipe. I cook at home and experiment on the viand most of the time. I guess, I can survive anywhere with having knowledge how to cook.(".)

Definitely i can cook. I love it and its one of my passion. Its the job i love doing compared to other household chores. I learn it from my Papa. he is also good in cooking. About specialty, i have many like adobong alimango ( thats a crab), laing ( ITs a spicy food with coconut milk), Pansit canton(noodles), pakbet and a lot more. When i see new recipe i can easily learn it.

I think everybody can cook, but the point is, whether they can cook well and taste good.Well, i am not very good in cooking because i rarely spend time on that. It is because, i'm working and living with my parents. So, everyday my mom will cook for us and i'll only cook during weekends.

Before I met my boyfriend, the only thing I know, is to cook egg and instant noodles... But my boyfriend is a good cook... so I have to impress him... I made an effort to learn how... And now, after 9 years of hard work... :) I am actually enjoying it... I can say Im a better cook than him now... :)

My husband is a chef and I am the one incharge to cook at home. I have a lot of recipes like sea bass fish in ceam with capers, chicken adobo (filipino dish with soy sauce and vinegar), pasta aglio olio, beef stew, porchops with mash potatoes. But honestly I learned to cook only when I got married and had kids.

Hmm, yes I can. I think Indian food(which is what I know how to cook except for the odd pasta or noodles) is basically easy to prepare. Especially since you have all these ready made masala mixes nowadays. Though i must admit that i don't cook on a regular basis.

Now that I am married, I cook. Special recipe? Bolognaise :)

yes... I can cook.. but for now I am lot more on pastries.. not so much with dishes for main course of a meal...

Yes I can cook. I started learning when I was younger and I love cooking and trying new recipes. My special recipe is a strawberry cake but I can't remember it off the top of my head.

Yes I can and love to cook , I have taught my three sons to kook and I also teach my grandchildren , It is so lovely to spend time with someone to show them something really special . My grandchildren love when its Dads turn too cook because he is "much better at it than mum " my granddaughters words lol xx

I can hold my own I'd say. I usually only cook for my husband and kids but my son tells me I'm the best cooker in the whole wide world. Does that count? lol!

It really depends on what the interpretation is of cooking. At the beginning of working with someone, I said yes... I can read and follow directions. If the interpretation is simmering things on the stove for hours and hours, and adding herbs, I have not done that. If it is about precision and getting something JUST RIGHT, I have great difficulty with that. I also miss or misinterpret directions. If it is about steaming veggies such as corn or broccoli or zucchini or cauliflower or carrots, baking potatoes, making beans in a crockpot, making rice, frying chicken, frying salmon, making scrambled eggs, making French toast, making waffles, baking chicken, making BBQ spare ribs, baking squash, tuna casserole, sausage and noodles, macaroni and cheese, then yes. I grew up with a simple diet on a farm, we stored things in a cellar for the winter, we did canning, we did rice and beans in crockpot. There was no need for elaborate things. We had a few herbs and spices... the top ones were basil, paprika, and oregano. We didn't salt anything when we cooked it because my dad got arthritis in his fingers when we did. Unfortunately, I am working as a caregiver and this issue comes up too often for words...I lost a client on Monday due to this, and how I can find one to replace her is going to be a trick because many people who need help also need help with food. Not only do I have my sheltered farm upbringing to contend with, in a position where extensive cooking is needed, but I am not detail-oriented, don't multitask well, get easily distracted, and worst of all (so that I can't just take it up at home), my body doesn't survive well on many cooked and processed foods and survives best on raw fruits and vegetables because cooking cuts down the nutritional content. Yeah, so... I feel like I am in a no-win situation right now. Although for now I have to find someone to replace the person who thinks I can't cook, with someone for whom food prep is much simpler, I seriously don't want to be in a position where this is required of me and am beginning to look at assisted living facilities to see if general assistance is needed, not cooking, and even looking at medical transcription for a long term career switch.

Yes, I can cook. But I don't usually do it since we have a cook at home :). I only cook when she's out or if we have special occasions. I don't have a particular special recipe, but I especially like cooking pasta, Chinese dishes and Filipino dishes.

I can cook but I am not that good. I can fry, make some soups, salads, meat recipe and some other. I don't have a specialty. I always cooked vegetable or fish soup. They are my favorite. Yummmy!
