How do you cook? Do you use a lot of spices or not? Do you use coconut milk? Do you use oil? Do you cook your meals at home or do you just eat out-doors all the time?

I cook in the kitchen mostly - England isn't famousfor itsbarbecue season but do cook ouotside when I can. I use spices a little and have used cocnut milk for curries etc. I used extra virgin olive oil and try to go as fat free and additive free as I can which means I make a lot of simple foods from scratch. I like to cook bread and got a bread maker forchristmas which is making life a lot easier. My boys favourite at the moment is old fashioned oatmeal bread (with rolled oats and honey in), you can't buy it from our local shops so I have to make it.

You are health conscious I see. We cant use olive oil cos its very expensive here. So you use coconut milk. We also do that everyday, most of our curries. I also like to bake.

It always amazes me how far apart our worlds are, Olive oil being to expensive to use and using a lot of coconut milk instead of every couple of weeks as a treat, often when we talk we seem to have similar values etc but in a lot of ways we have totally different lives, you don't seem so far away online, lol. Thank-you so much for giving my your best response!

hi,in our area,we use only sunflower/palm oil for food preparations and we used to eat spicy.Here mostly people prefer to cook in home only,but in recent times due to globalisation people are prefering go outside also weekly once.

I thought in India Soya oil is used a lot. We also eat very spicy food in my country.

I cook at home six days a week. I tend to use lots of spices and to experiment with seasonings and portions. I rarely use an exact recipe, I just toss stuff in and taste as I go along. I use olive oil for cooking whenever I can and as many organic ingredients as possible.

I use spices cooking my food but not a lot. In case of oil, I use olive oil for cooking and vegetable oil for deep fry.

i cook food at home but on special occasion we do eat outside too. but we just seldom do that. anyway, i use oil, some psices and garlic, onion, red pepper. thats mostly my main ingredient in cooking. then oyster sauce and soy sauce. balck pepper. whoah! is that already too much? i hope not. thats more or less the ingredients i always use while cooking.
