Can you cook?

[elysepopplewell]

I do cook every day because I need to feed myself lol, but very rarely is it proper cooking. I mean, ingredients out, maybe a store bought sauce, but otherwise all from scratch. I usually always use store bought pasta and passata, then just add onions and garlic or olives or something. Occasionally we make curry, which is as close to real-deal cooking as it gets here, with coconut milk, curry paste, chicken, veg, and rice. But it's really hard to come by a lot of ingredients in Italy. I'd reaaaalllly love an asian stir fry - it's easy to make, it's healthy, it tastes good, and there's a certain sense of "I made this" because it's not as simple as adding garlic to passata and pasta. In saying this, I love baking and frying big breakfasts (dry-up ingredients also difficult to come by here).

I'm a horrible cook! It is so sad!

[Ashjames]

Can:

-Turn on a toaster without burning myself
-Can heat up milk to make hot cocoa
-can make chips without making an oil explosion
-can make a salad without chopping my finger off
-can make 2 minute noodles (almost every time I tip the boiling water on my self and get burnt, I'm still trying to improve!)

Thus, I am an exceptional chef

Does frying an egg count as cooking? I mean I can manage to fry an egg without burning it...

I think the best thing I can "cook" is probably a packet of Mi Goreng noodles! I'm honestly not the best cook and have burnt a couple of meals I've attempted to make, including somehow burning a fried egg, burning two whole batches of brownies right after another, and SOMEHOW microwaving foiled food (FOIL? WHYYYY HOWWW!!!)

I do whip up a mean salty fried rice if giving the time though, but lets just say, it's VERY salty.

I cook a lot because single-parent-who-works-full-time household (+ vegan so even when mum is home I usually end up making at least a component myself). In particular I like making curries and stir fry, healthy, relatively quick and tastes nice.  If you're struggling to find time/motivation to cook pre-preparing on the weekend can be great, so then when you go to cook you already have things clean and chopped up & it's easier to motivate yourself to not just have cereal or 2 min noodles. And remember that when you follow a recipe for the first time it is going to take significantly longer than every time you cook that recipe afterwards. Usually I just use recipes as a rough template and make decision based on 'feel' (however I will actually measure some things out for baking) which is a more interesting and faster way to cook (for me, anyway)

I love cooking. My menu ranges from Pasta dishes, to grilled steak and seafood.
