I love cooking especially trying out new dishes. I learned the basic art of cooking from my grandmother who was a great cook. As a kid I used to tail her in the kitchen and helped her to skin the onions, cut up the vegies and watching her how to mix all the spices. It all started from there that I cultivated my love for cooking. I am more to oriental cooking as it is more acceptable to us but I do like spicy dishes like curries and anything that gives spike to the tastebud.

I like cooking but it is my better half who looks after this Department better than me. She cooks all the sumptous and delicious dishes for me and I just enjoy those dishes...........LOL! She always says - "Look, had I not been there, you would not have enjoyed such a delicious food and I nod in affirmative".

Every man should enjoy their wife's cooking. Otherwise he'll look for the food outside. So every woman should know at least the basic cooking to feed the family.

I am not good in cooking. I know some of the basics like fried. Then the rest would be a lot of question marks. Last year I am thinking of going to culinary school to learn some stuff. But when I saw the tuition fee for this course, Whooh! It is quite expensive. I did not expect that. My grandfather is a good cook, bad thing I wasn't able to inherit his genes. In short, I am a frustrated cook. Thank you and have a good day!

The art of cooking is simple. Open up any recipe book and follow the step by step instruction. You will not go wrong and slowly you will end up to be a good cook as practice makes perfect. There is no need to learn, you can learn it from recipe books. Good luck to you.

I watch a lot of the cooking shows on TV and they make cooking look so easy and everything looks so delicious but when I try the recipes nothing turns out like it does on TV, so I guess it is easy for me to say I hate cooking, if I was rich enough I would have my main meal at a restaurant every day...

Home cooked food is better than eating out. It is more nourishing and cleanliness is assured when you eat food that are prepared with love and care.

I am the chef in the house. I like cooking and baking. I believe that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Feed him well and you'll be the apple of his eyes!

Cooking isn't really my thing but, once in a while,when there is nothing that I like in the fridge I start to experience with what I have. Sometimes the result is good but mostly it's a mess.I'd rather let my mom do the cooking.She's really good at it.

You should start to learn from your mom. Inherit her cooking skills.

Hi there! I like cooking but I have to admit, I'm really not that good at it. On the other hand, my sister is just an amazing cook. As for me, I guess I could just settle with baking. Haha lol.

You have to like cooking in order to be able to learn fast. Ingredients are expensive nowadays.

I don't like cooking very much. To think, spending more than 1 hours to cook, and then spending 10-20 minutes to eat. I think this is not worthless. Sometimes, I will boil a large cauldron of meat soap so that I can eat several days. HAHA, that is convenient, right?

well I do that too. I make a big pot of stew for few days consumption. Though it is monotonous to eat the same kind of food day in day out but it is very economical if you do mass cooking.

I think you should ask your mum to teach your wife the food that you like most from your mum's cooking.

vegetarian cooking is healthy. I try to switch my diet to vegetarian food but can only sustain for a day or two and will revert to meaty food. Learning from recipe books are good way of learning to cook.

there is nothing better than cooking at home and eating the finished product!!! Especially if you have a new recipe to try--it is a very accomplishing feeling. I love to cook...I love to make my own sauces, add a little bit of this and taste..add a little bit of that and taste...i love to bake as well...i find it very satisfying when someone eats a meal that i have cooked and absolutely loves it! it is a very gratifying feeling. Cooking at home, you know who has been touching your food, as compared to restaurants==cleanliness is a big key to me!!

That's right. The feeling of satisfaction when you see others enjoying the food you cook. I feel that way too.

Cooking is interesting especially if the kitchen is filled with a variety of vegetables. Otherwise, it gets quite a problem to make a good dish.
