We all need to eat food.

Unless your a plant, mutant, vampire, or etc. Well I guess that is still is eating but in a different but anyway!

Cooking! Do you enjoy the act? Or is it just a time waster that you could be using to read or write.

Cooking as simple as making a good tasting sandwich, pasta, a baked dinner, everything beyond, and everything in between.

I do like cooking. By no means am I a professional or even good chef, but I like cooking, always like making things and cooking is just that but I and others get to eat the final product.

However, I didn't get into cooking until a slightly traumatic experience in my childhood made me learn how important it was to know how to cook for myself when no-one else would do so.

Umm, why I am asking this question again? Hmmm... I think I'm a hungry, I'll brb... or not.

I have fun making the food but I hate cleaning up after it and most prep work but I'm not willing to shell out cash to get those pre-prepared meals or someone to clean up my mess so I guess I'll just live like this

Most Of the time, I have two modes, sometimes I just wanna get it done.

Other times, I enjoy it. especially when trying a recipe I've never done before.

I've been learning how to cook since I turned ten. I'm not amazing at it, but definitely not bad at it either. And it can be fun especially if the people I'm making it for like the food. Especially if it's a recipe I came u with myself. I never tried baking though. Maybe I should give that a shot at some point.

I cook for me. Recently I've been getting into keto and it's really fun. As for how good I am...

I'm beginning to feel like a chef god chef god
All my people from the front to the back nod back nod
Now who thinks their arms are long enough can slapbox slapbox
They said I cook like a robot so call me cookbot
But for me to cook like a compjter must be in my genes
I got fry pan in my back pocket
My knife will go off when I half cock it
I don't remember the rest

I enjoy cooking. My friends said my karaage is godlike.

There's a running gag on my irl friends. There was one time when my friend visit my place after work and I jokingly said 'welcome home daddy'. And since then, I've been called 'mom' in the group because I have long hair and cook often for them.

I can't smell. I'm like a blind man painting when it comes to cooking.
I find it fascinating. I don't understand things like, why wouldn't you just blend beets in with strawberries?
They're both red, ya get me?

Oh. My job REQUIRES me to trade off on jobs on a regular basis, so I wind up cooking half the time for the clients.

Remember, if you cook anything enough, you can't get food poisoning, because everything will be dead.

I enjoy cooking a whole lot, I even have special machines like a dehydrator to make dried vegetables i order to have them soak up the flavor from the soups I make.

One of the the ingredient I've been really into using is beer, it make anything funky, adds more complex texture to the food, especially sauces.

Most of the things I cook are considered heresy by my ancestor's standards. But I don't respect the dead enough to follow traditions.

I enjoy cooking but is more a chore cooking for just me it is a lot more enjoyable cooking for multiple people either friends or family.

I'm a full-time chef. As much as I like cooking, making it a job is stressful, to say the least. And don't get me started with unreasonable customers who think that the restaurant that I work at is a fast food place.

Don't particular like or dislike cooking.
What I Like is eating, and saving money.

It's often easier to get food to eat that I like, and cooked the way I want it, by cooking it myself.
And it's usually much cheaper than eating out.
