Anyone else enjoy cooking?

[master terrence]

that piece of steak freakishly resembles the state of Florida. O.O Brilliant.

I'd love to eat that for breakfast.

[tenshi_a]

I enjoy cooking, but most of what I make..... ..... .....tastes better than it looks. -_-;

[Len]

I hate cooking. I would rather die than eat! ..hey wait a second.

[Lemina]

I definitely enjoy cooking homemade. It's way better than buying fast food and blindly spending my money needlessly. I consider myself a pretty good cook. I always like to follow intructions just as a recipe says so it will come out as perfect as it can. :teehee:

[Gibb]

I'm an out of the box chef. I've never made anything creative before, but I'm good with making anything by the instructions. About the most complicated things I make are Bacon Cheesebugers. My favorite food is a monterey jack bacon cheeseburger with crisp bacon.

[Len]

Cook for me then, and you will lose your appreciation for cooking. :)

[Rurouni Saiyan]

I'm making Chili tonight.

I hereby dub it, Phoenix Flame Annihilation Chili. I'll let you know how it turns out.

MMMM Hersheys syrup on steak and eggs.


I cook all the time and I have posted my favourite easy to make cheap recipies on this forum several times. Cleaning up after cooking is another matter entirely.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...Axl. its called A1 steak sauce. don't ever use Hershey Chocolate Syrup man. that's just wrong.

Drool. I ****ing LOVE CHILI.

[emotoaster]

I cook at my dad's resturant sometimes. I enjoy it and now I make pizzas...:D but when I get home it tv dinners FTW.

[Len]

Have you ever tried Pizza, without anything else on it? Just Pizza and Cheese? My super-dish I make is Pizza & Cheese with Egg mixed into the batter. It's really good. A little garlic and off you go.

[HSaabedra]

...Axl. its called A1 steak sauce. don't ever use Hershey Chocolate Syrup man. that's just wrong.

I didn't put chocolate syrup on it, it was left out earlier that morning. I used a George Foreman grill to cook the steak and added light seasoning. A1 sucks now, Siracha ftw.

[Suiko Eiji]

I'm an out of the box chef.

I suppose I could be considered an "out of the box" chef. I don't make my spaghetti or alfredo sauce from scratch, for example; it comes from a jar mostly, but adding vegetables and appropriate seasonings and spices gives it a unique, homemade flavor.

I always like to follow intructions just as a recipe says so it will come out as perfect as it can.

For me, it depends on what I'm making. If I am making something for the first time I'll follow recipes pretty carefully; if I am trying a new rub or something on the meat portion of a meal, I'll look at what ingredients I have and compare it to the list, adding and subtracting things I either like or don't like. Things that I've been making for a long time require no recipes. In short, I like to experiment.

Man, this thread is making me hungry. Time to make some lunch, I suppose.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...Hersheys Chocolate Syrup for the win.

[Defiled one]

Actualy I am more of a butcher than a cooker ^_^; .....Think something like the Hills have eyes...Yeah...Sadly...someone has to prepare the bunny for supper..

[Soluzar]

I always like to follow intructions just as a recipe says so it will come out as perfect as it can. :teehee:
That is so the opposite of me. If I refer to a recipe at all, I will add seasonings and vegetables as I see fit. What ever I believe will enhance the dish. It produces a few surprising results, both good and bad.

I like to cook, but I'm not that great. When it works out, it's fine. When it goes wrong, it does so in spectacular fashion.

[Sendo Takeshi]

I'll give anyone here $30 to cook me the finest breakfast ever and FedEx it to me overnight.

I've always made Grilled Cheese really well, but other than that I can't cook for my life.

[Suiko Eiji]

I've always made Grilled Cheese really well, but other than that I can't cook for my life.

Grilled cheese is an easy start; that was part of what I made for lunch. Unless you're one of those freaks that puts sugar on it.

It's weird like that; my parents used to have me cook on the weekends for them if I was home (in exchange for not doing other house chores), and I just enjoyed it. When I first arrived at college, I was amazed at the amount of people my age - both male and female - who couldn't cook. Out of my group of friends, I am about one of three who enjoys cooking and can do it. A neighbor friend of mine can cook really well but I don't think she enjoys it as a hobby, per se. Other than that, most of the others have very limited kitchen ability.

I suggest learning, especially if you're going to be out on your own for college. Even if it is for the sheer fact of saving money and survival, it's a skill most people now a days just don't have.

[master terrence]

I can cook eggs in various ways, but that's about it. I haven't even cooked in a while.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...i can make instant ramen look like it was made from scratch. complete with naruto and shoyu.

[Hopelesromantic]

I got married partly to avoid starving :)

If I was to be likened to a cook, I would be either C-Ko or Akane Tendo :)

[Suiko Eiji]

...i can make instant ramen look like it was made from scratch. complete with naruto and shoyu.

Um, Naruto? Do you mean natto? Either way, disgusting.

[tenshi_a]

I just made some curry for dinner this evening... dictated by the ingredients in my fridge and the contents of the cupboard, it was a case of... caramelising some chopped onions in a pan, adding diced carrot, diced potato, sliced green beans, leave it to simmer for a while, add a jar of rogan josh sauce, simmer some more. Heat up some naan bread *sprinkle spinkle water*, and eaten with some bits of pre-cooked chicken that were also there in the fridge.

Tastes good. Made-up out of random stuff no-one else tries. Looks weird.

Ah, yeah, that's how my cooking works. Random stuff & sauce = meal. The only limitations I ever put on curry are; no meat in the sauce! It soaks up the flavour too much. All the people I've known whose families come from Southern India told me that they never put meat in curries, so I guess that must be right...

um... ta-da! -_-;

(and the leftovers go in the fridge and I live on them for the next few days... overnight curry is nice...)

[HSaabedra]

That sounds awesome, tenshi.

[VidelCoolGirl]

I love to cook, but usually can't due to the lack of kitchen in our dorms. I only get to cook when I go back home, and I can make a lot of tasty things. Matters what you're in the mood for.

P.S. I would make steak for you any day Axl.

Cooking Cooking Cooking.
I have my cooking days but Its mostly steak and other grilled meats. I just enjoy making marinades though.

[VidelCoolGirl]

Thanks. :redface: How about some soul food?

Well Buh! I am black. For example, I make killer fried chicken. But we can have open flame type stuff or woks in our dorms. Thus, no chicken can be made here.

But I have my George Foreman, so I'm fine. I can grill on that.

I can't see myself without my Grill. It's my lifeline. I used to go to this restaurant on the southside of my city, soul food aplenty, I miss it.

[stingray]

I love to cook I make alot of stuff homemade and come up with some of my own recipes, I make homemade soups, pies some cakes and so on. Durning the warm months I grill outside almost all the meal is done on the grill. I love baking durning the winter months homemade breads.

[VidelCoolGirl]

Yeah, I live in Seattle now, so any soul food I may get that feels closest to home if from my mom. And I love miles and miles away. I don't get to eat good all that often.

There's a lot, mattering on how healthy or whatever you want to eat. Do you like healthy form of steak that still taste good? r do you like fatty, fat...fat stuffs?

I enjoy fat but I want a light dinner since I have to go spin tonight.

[VidelCoolGirl]

I enjoy fat but I want a light dinner since I have to go spin tonight.

Well, if you want a light dinner, get whatever kind of steaks you have. If it's beef, then

heat up some oil in a pan. (not a ton, just enough to cover the bottom.

When it gets hot, put a tablespoon of butter in the oil. Also, season the oil. (Put salt, pepper, garlic powder, whatever you like.)

Take steak, properly thawed, and put it in skillet. Then, fry until liking. (I dont know how you like your steak, but make sure to keep an even time for both sides, so it cooks all the way through.)

Simple, but tastes awesome.

When done, enjoy, unless you want sides, mainly, vegetables. You like Veges?

[Defiled one]

One fried steak.....cheese...sausages...tomato...s alad...bread....morcela, make sure its made with blood to make it tasty...an fried egg if you want to put on top...
For the sauce....you have to use beer and some tomatto sause and something hot,peppers. You can put around also some fried potatoes...but!! the important thing of the plate is the fact of the sause, to feel in your mouth like acid..cause of the beer...the only comparison I can say is of vomit..IN A GOOD WAY..it has to have that type of acidity to make it feel good.

Of course I like veggies. what do you suggest. @Defiled One: I've had that before when I was in Spain, what is it called?

[VidelCoolGirl]

Well, I like a mix of veggies when I eat, so I usually go for a mix of broccoli, califlower, and corn. (You can get seperate, or they also sell mixes like that in stores. I'm sure its called "Normandy Mix" or something with Normandy in it.)

When you cook it, try to steam it instead of boiling. All the tasty nutrients stay in it! And in the water that steams it, put all kinds of stuff. I put butter, spices, ect.

When its done, you don't need to season the veggies all that much. (Unless you feel like you have to. I usually don't.) That way, you have a handy dandy steak, and some vegetables to boot.

I would say rice, but for a quick dinner, steak and veggies are probably better.

[Defiled one]

^Francesinha...that is the name...

[VidelCoolGirl]

I think it's the blood that scares me. I like my stuff medium to well cooked. I never got cooking steaks rare.

[Lemina]

That is so the opposite of me. If I refer to a recipe at all, I will add seasonings and vegetables as I see fit. What ever I believe will enhance the dish. It produces a few surprising results, both good and bad.

Actually, I also like putting extra things to a dish if possible. It might end up making it better than what a recipe calls for. Other than that, I follow instructions as far as measuring liquids, foods, and seasonings is concerned. ^_^ I think making tasty food my family would enjoy also helps me be a great housewife.

[Bernard_Monsha]

I like cold steak thinly sliced in a salad with ginger sesamee dressing. Also a torta or quesadilla are easy to make with leftover steak. This one does not have refired beans or sour cream on it so it is heretical.

My thoughts are... don't eat anything that's still bleeding... that's what cooking's for... :x

I cook just about every day of the week and I love experimenting. My meals mainly consist of fried vegetables, tofu, rice and the occasional side dish of fish cooked in a thin veil of oil. Sometimes I'll cook whatever is in the fridge or take a random recipe and make it.

Being a vegetarian, I cannot help but shudder every time I see meat other than fish. I must also be among the 1% of our population who actually dislikes bacon. I also dislike fat, so I rarely melt cheese and take half the amount of butter that a recipe demands.

So yeah, in general I like cooking, but will avoid the dishes like the plague.

You're making me gag here, and I'm accustomed to seeing just about anything 4chan's /b/ can throw at a person.

[Shiroiyuki]

I absolutely LOVE to cook! But I rarely follow recipes, because they are very confining--and I like the freedom of cooking by taste. Seasonings are a blessing in disguise—so I stay away from salt usually. Sure, it might taste good...but using salt alone to enhance a dish's flavor is not the way to go. There are TONS of better choices out there which bring out flavor without adding a ton of salt. Spices are the key.

I make really good homemade pizza--with dough and sauce that I make myself. Sure, it takes a few hours to prepare everything (so I make it only on occasion when I have the time), but it tastes DELICIOUS. Fresh vegetables, grated mozzarella cheese (from a nice block ^_^), olives, the works. Very good! We even have a pizza stone just for this reason.

I also make a MEAN manicotti that is always finished off the first day. I don't put spinach in mine, since no one else besides me eats spinach in my house, but it still comes out wonderfully. I usually make my own sauce for this dish too, but when pressed for time just use the pre-made crap (but dress it up a bit to my liking). Still tastes good, but not *as* good. God bless Ricotta.

^_^ I wish I had a man to cook for! Oh, you just know he'd be fat and happy...haha.

[umeboshi_neko]

I can't cook sweets and indian cuisine to save my life. I'm too scared to attempt Japanese and Chinese.
I excel in all types of Italian and chicken dishes. I warn people though, my Lasagne recipe is not for people with small stomachs and high cholesterol rates.

I prefer eating to cooking slightly, but you can't eat well if you don't cook well, so it balances itself out.

And I hate Jamie Oliver. All the dishes I have attempted to make by him end up in the bin, and the ingrediants list is ALWAYS out of my budget. The last (and final) dish I made from his recipe book cost me £10 ($20).

[drgenestarwind]

I enjoy cooking, enough to work in restaurants and hotels, and even go to college for a culinary arts degree.

No. I wouldn't be able to cook even if my life depended on it.

[DazzleKitty]

I really wish I knew how to cook. I'm a little afraid of setting myself or the house on fire. My cooking skills are limited to the microwave and toaster.

My brother loves to cook, and he's good at it. I told him he should be a chef.

[MonkeyBoy0314]

I enjoy eating somebody other people's cooking, preferably my mom's (who is an amazing chef), but I do not like preparing the food myself

[EevilJ]

[Ender]

I enjoy cooking, that I do. I'm still learning though.

[Shiroiyuki]

For a while, I was going to be a chef. But that dream is over now... :(

Why is that Eevil? Not enough money to go to a good culinary school?

[Tom Servo]

Making your own food is great,
problem lies in that you can't appropriate proper ingredients unless you're wealthy. I'm talking here of organic products, you can't even buy full-cream milk anymore where I am

When I was in school we were never taught about how the human body actually works, especially digestion and how our body uses what we eat to build itself, let alone anyone mentioning how these biological processes effect the more subtle bodies.

It's more difficult than it should be to buy decent tobacco, too, the types that haven't been sprayed with poisons that cause various cancers.

You would've thought fundamental things like food and water would be managed properly by now, especially considering how much pain medc's put poorer people through, but once again those that know the least about what they are actually doing are put in charge. I'm not sure if they are put into those positions by certain groups or they are just mind controlled to be that way. Edit: Or that things have gotten so bad that these topics aren't seen to be true, or there is some fundamental problem with how they are perceiving reality (most businessmen seem to have emotional illnesses, too). Which is a depressing thought to entertain.

[Haro!]

As opposed to just smoking tobacco without insecticides, which causes cancer all by itself anyway.




So, I made manicotti tonight! It was GOOOOOD, had to chime in over here because of the delicious goodness. I don't make mine with spinach because no one else in my family believes in vegetables. But it was damn, damn good. Actually, I think it tastes better without the spinach now. Mmmm....
