if you have the hability to cook, its great! i love cook, specialy because makes me more relax, and i really enjoy cooking.. but of course, sometimes i feel that i dont want to do nothing, because i feel so tired to make a sofisticated meal.. but when i have time, of course, i make something, just to eat at lunch or at dinner.. or makes chocolate cakes! lol how about you? are you good at cooking?? or are you a disaster on the kitchen, and prefer to stay out preventing disasters? lol! i just kidding.. but if you dont cook, do you buy the meal or someone in your family mmakes the food? well, have a ncie day, and good luck in your kitchen! lol

I truly love cooking and baking. Just like you it relaxes me and allows me to be creative and make something special for those I love. If I am just cooking for myself, I might make an omelet or pasta or something very simple. Usually, Friday night, I don't cook. That's either take away or a go out to eat night. Kind of a reward for the end of the work week. Chocolate Cake is an all time favorite of mine and I have developed a special recipe over the years but it's time consuming to make so I only make it every other month or so. My Mom was a wonderful cook and she and I had such fun as she taught me so much about cooking and baking. She liked cooking okay but she loved to bake. I still miss her Apple pie since I've never tasted anything that was as close to perfection as hers was. Some of my fondest memories were baking with my mom and getting ready for the holidays! When I got to High School age, I usually cooked for my family Friday thru Sunday to give my Mom a break and to have some fun. I was fearless in trying new things so my family never quite knew what I was going to serve them. I learned Thai Cooking, French, German and of course Italian! I'd get cook books from the Library and pour over them till I found something that sounded worthy of a try out. Thanks for bringing back some of my earliest cooking and baking memories! My Mom has been gone for over 10 years now but I still smile when I think about the fun we had!! Be well!!

I am sorry to hear that your mother had to be in the hospital! I know just how stressful that can be. I'll say a prayer that all goes well and she doesn't have any more medical problems! What a loving daughter you are to make the house look briliant and clean for the whole family to enjoy. I am one of those people that find it relaxing to clean! Even if I only have a little bit of time to do something, there is an immediate small sense of accomplishment! Keep on learning with your cooking since you enjoy it so much! Maybe you should consider making it your full time job as it can pay very well depending on where you are and what kind of restaurant it is. Take care!!

yes, like you said, i learnt from my mother too..i usually cook when im at home, and sometimes i help my mother when she is cooking, but in this week that my mother went to a hospital to care my grandma, my sister and me were alone at home (for me its fantastic, i love toi do all type of housework beecause i love clean and has all brilliant, and of course, cook a lot), i cook everyday, until i prepared the food that she eats at the hospital, because she returns at night, and i cook all type of food, starting with easy food, and ending in difficult food! thanks to share your opinio with me! and have a nice day" :)

I used to hate cooking, but now I really do enjoy doing it. I cook at home for our family at least the majority of the time. Sometimes, however, I don't feel like cooking, but there are other times that I look forward to cooking. I don't like to spend our money on buying carry out food because of the fact that the prices of that are inflated. I've now gotten comfortable enough in the kitchen that I am trying to experiment more in there and try out new recipes for our family.

I cook, and I like cooking. I prepare food 3 times a day almost everyday throughout the year. Cooking is fun because I can use all my imagination to create something new, something I had never tried before. Of course, sometimes failure would knock on your door, but that's not a big deal. Keep trying and I really enjoy the process of cooking.

I enjoy cooking. Cooking is an art. And all knows but can't cook never makes a man perfect. Food is the basic needs. And if we don't know how to prepare a palatable food then how can we say us as a perfect person. I don't know how good am I in cooking but who have eaten the food prepared by be never be dissatisfied with those.

I love to cook for my family! It is difficult to find time sometimes, but when I'm organized I spend a Sunday afternoon doing a meal plan for a month at a time, make a grocery list while I'm at it, and the planning part is looked after. The challenge for me is staying away from the recipes with a lot of calories and fat and finding healthy recipes that we can all enjoy.

I dont know how to cook at all. :( I am still in the process of learning it.. I still depend on my mom's cooking :( I actually do a lot of deliveries and dining out when I am left at home without any food to eat. Sometimes I rummage the kitchen and search for canned goods or instant noodles. they're pretty much the stuff I know how to prepare.. :(

i suck at cooking but this is something i am willing to learn how to do because having this ability gives you some independance and saves you loads of money from ordering online or dining out
