Well to tell you the truth, cooking is not the thing that i do daily but it is one of my interest...whenever i get a chance i cook and i really enjoy doing that..and it doesn't have too be a tasteful one..once you cook it yourself it becomes the tastiest meal that you ever had....i watch those TV cook shows and try to copy them and make it at home myself....it's great fun too...so share your opinion about this....and let me know how good cook you are..?

i cook most of the time... breakfast, lunch, dinner and sometimes even snacks! you are right that cooking is fun but sometimes its also tiring...especially when you're going out of recipes to cook! hehehe and sometimes its also tiring to think what to cook! and when i feel like that, tired and lazy...we end up eating out! hehehe...but its just once in a blue moon! i think watching cooking shows is really great for learning specially to people like me who have limited knowledge and skills in cooking...but sometimes the ingredients that they are using there are its either so expensive or not readily available... i don't consider myself as a good cook...i just know how to cook, atleast i know the basics of cooking and can make good food...but these are just common foods... but anyway when my husband and whoever eats the food that i cook and they say its delicious and they like it...well its so rewarding...really a good feeling and gives so much satisfaction...and i feel that i am really the best cook! hehehe i think that's my goal every time i cook...to make my husband happy...let him feel my love and care for him through my cooking... and as well as to other people that i cook for... have a nice day and happy cooking!

I am a full-time homemaker, so i cook everyday and every meal. I like to do cooking when i am at home. When i want to cook something new, i will buy all the neccesary ingredients. I like to taste new recipes, whenever i got the free time to try out. It had been one of my hobbies, since i get married....

Hey myfb2009,thank you for the comment..and i must say your husband must be very lucky...he gets to taste different recipes everyday as you like trying out new dishes....and i think you learn the new dishes from the cook book or from the cook show...so keep up the innovative work and enjoy your hobby....

Cooking is one of the things I love doing.. I have learned how to cook when I moved out from my parents house and had my own place in the south.. i've had difficulties at first but I was able to work it out after a month or two.. i have learned through filipino cook books and free recipes online.. =) when i am not busy, i find time to cook special filipino dishes for my hubby such as sinigang, ginataan, menudo, pork steak and adobo.. =)

Hey manish...you look like the one who just like eating the cooked and ready food rather than cooking yourself and having it...i should say that you are a bit lazy boy...but you know what cooking is really fun...all your boring stay at the kitchen will be forgotten once you taste your dish...you'll feel great....and you should not take it as a tiring job..you should rather enjoy it..so next time you go into the kitchen try to enjoy cooking...and keep mylotting...

I am not any good at cooking. What i can cook very well is boiling water, make boiled egg, making a tea....lol. Another thing is that i just cook that for myself only...lol. But sometimes i help my mother to cook food and it does makes me feel testier. Sometimes I also see TV cook and wish i had a chance to have that food. But I have never tried to cook seeing it. Hehehehe....

I love to cook the only thing that I'm kindah sick of now is that i can only cook italian food good... of course i know how to cook other dishes to but Italian is the only thing i can just take things out of the cabinet and then it tastes good... A really fun thing me and my room mate used to do is to don't buy anything just try to make good food out of the things we had in our cabinets which wasn't mutch in an apartmen with two guy eating like crazy.. then we would have our classmates come over and eat XD

Ideally I would cook every day but in real life I don't have the time so we do have pizza and ready meals sometimes, or go out to the pub for tea, so I probably only cook from scratch about three or four times a week. I think I'm quite a good cook and I like experimenting with different dishes if I have time and the ingrediants to hand.

i only cook when i have to, lol, but whenever i see cooking shows, i get a little envious because they can cook very good dishes. I don't have to taste their dishes to know that they're good!:) sometimes, i get this feeling of wanting to cook but i get discouraged because we don't have the ingredients for the dish.. i know the basics and as of now, i'll leave the glamour cooking to the chefs in the restaurants that we visit:)

I love to cook and if we are at home for dinner, I cook. I cook dinner at home almost nightly. It is something I enjoy. I enjoy trying new recipes. I try new things all the time. I am still getting better with every new thing I try. I dont cook breakfest of lunch because we usually arent home but dinner daily.

Hello!!! I think I am lazy in the case of cooking. That's why I am not good at cooking and rarely cook something. I can do nothing more than preparing tea haha...But sometimes there are time when there is no one else in the home and I require to cook the meal for me. Though I don't have good knowledge of cooking then I may try this and that. But whenever I cook the meal for meal and eat it, I always feel contented that it is tasty at least for me only. I don't know why? Though others may not feel that tasty, I may only feel it tasty lol... Happy mylotting...
