As this week, I did my best to try variety of cooking, not the complicated ones, but the easy one I saw my mom did on the kitchen. I simply beat myself to the bottom. It seems easy when I look at my mom did it, but when I get my hands on it, it is totally different story to tell. I may neglect some steps, or I might done something not right, but the end result is totally far from what I get from my mom. I just find cooking extremely hard for me, but I have to keep on trying, not giving it up that easy. I might have to wait for mom come back from her vacation, and teach me all over again.

It all depends on the dish for me. Some dishes are simply harder to make than others. I noticed you said that you neglect steps or sometimes don't do something right. I think that there is exactly the issue. Many recipes simply don't allow for you to stray from them. If you do, you tend to end up with something that isn't really what you were aiming for.

With some things yes... so I tend to cook simple stuff, but because I would like my kids to eat home made stuff I do try harder these days, as I do not think that chucking stuff in the oven to cook is healthy all the time. I was told that if you have everything ingrediant wise... measured out first, and oput in little pots or something, then it is easier... I have to say I would agree since whenever I tried to cook something i did everything as i went a long, and then it never seems to turn out right. I like the idea of chucking everything in together lol... just because it simlifies things for me.

Cooking is something that has always come easy to me. Sure I have made a few mistakes over the years but once I have made a mistake I know how to do it better next time. But for the most part I have always been really good when it comes to cooking. I can usually just throw lots of things together and it will taste good, and I also like to learn all kinds of ethnic recipes as well. I consider myself in expert in Mexican cooking and I can also cook Italian and Chinese food really well, and I am now concentrating on learning to make many Indian foods.

I love to cook and fix dishes that are challenging. When I have a dish that I have not prepared before and it is time consuming, I usually plan the time for the dish. Then as I am doing the dish I can figure out short cuts so if the dish turns out good, I can prepare it again in less time.

I don't really find the act of cooking all that difficult. But i use somewhat of a cheap sheet, so that may be why. I bookmarked this site on Delicious(social bookmarking site with an odd name) that spits out a ton of recipes, depending on what ingredients you have on hand.

If I remember which account I saved it on, I'll be sure to post the link later.

Love to cook. We love to spend time in the kitchen. Although we really don't get to that often thanks to work and the hours that we tend to keep during the week, it makes it rough.

We love getting creative, my husband was a professional baker for about a year. He loves to get creative with cakes and things. He misses it so...

When we were younger, we used to fight over the kitchen. Now, we are lucky if either of us have the energy to cook. lol

No cooking is fairly simple. All you really have to do is follow the recipe and usually you shouldn't have a problem cooking whatever you are trying to make. However there are some dishes that take a good amount of skill and a beginner may not always be able to pull off some of the more advanced cooking techniques.

We have the same problem. I guess cooking is really a talent like my brother always says after eating one of my cooking (or what passes for it). I blame my mother (who else?) because she never made me do chores growing up. :-) I am very good at following recipes though, although I often wonder why other people seem to gag when they my food? I have learned recently to cook egg white omelet though which I am very proud. Now if I can just progress to other kinds.
