Is cooking a chore or an enjoyment for you?

Cooking has always been an enjoyable activity for me. I grew up i the kitchen, my mom owned a small canteen when i was small so all us, my sisters and i learned how to cook at an early stage. All of us in the family knows how to cook. We each have our own speciality and ways of cooking. I didn't have any formal training but my friends have always told me that i can open my own restaurant based on how my cooking taste.

I never thought I would enjoy cooking when I was younger. I now love it and enjoy doing it most of the time. When my fiance and me bought our house I just started to cook. I took the basic things I learned from my parents and went from there. I have a cooking style of my own now . It took a few months, but little by little I turned into a pretty good cook . I remember the first time a few years ago I burnt a huge pot roast dinner ( forgot to keep adding water) Those were the days ! I agree with baking you don't have to measure to a tee, my dad never did, and I don't either . I enjoy cooking for my love ones , and enjoy seeing them love it !!

I love cooking to an yes you are right about eyeballing I also love baking

I love to cook and I love to try new recipes. For things that I make all the time I don't even bother measuring items, I just throw them in there and mix them up. Usually everything I make turns out delicious the family is always happy. I get so happy when everyone likes my cooking. It is so nice to see everyone appreciate the food and enjoy it. It gives me a nice sense of accomplishment. I would love to take some cooking classes at a college though just to improve upon my talents I already have and teach me some new tricks!

hello, , hmmm, I also love cooking. It was one of my favorite hobby and I am really happy whenever my family praised me and they quite like the food I cook. Even if it was tiring to cook but when I saw their face and they are really quite pleased with it, it remove my tiredness. However, there are also times, that it became a chore to me. That is when after a days work they will still request that I cook the dinner's meal. Also, when I had to think of different meal to cooked so that we wouldn't be fed up with the same meal everyday. For me it's real hard to at least cook different meal especially having a limited ingredients sometimes. So whenever that happens I just tried my best to pleased them with whatever food I think of to cooked.

Oh I love to cook, especially baking! I'm famous for my Buttermilk Pie!

Cooking is definitely something that I enjoy doing. I don't think of it as a chore at all. I actually get excited about making a nice dinner in the evening or finding a new recipe to try out. I especially like baking. I agree that having exact measurements is really not that important. I sometimes just dump in ingredients and then gradually add whatever is needed to make it taste just right. I often use a basic recipe for something and then tweak it a little bit to make it the way I really want it.

Its not a chore. Its more of an enjoyment for me. Its great learning about new recipes from around the world. Its nice cooking items based on things read, heard or even from dishes I've tried previously in restaurants.

CHORE! CHORE! CHORE! I envy you! I wish I could cook, but alas, I do not have talent in the culinary department. I suppose that's why I don't look forward to it or enjoy it at all. If I were able to whip up some creative, delicious meals I'd probably like it. I took cooking in middle school as well, but I guess I didn't pay attention like you did!

I cooked for so many years when my kids were growing up, I'm cooked out. I live alone and I'm a vegetarian so there's not that much to cook. Mostly its remove the plastic wrapper and put it in the oven. I still love to bake and everyone loves what I make. My grandmother never measured a thing, but when I'm baking, I'm measuring carefully. Life would be easier without measurements, it would save a lot of time. Maybe I can't eyeball because my vision is so bad.

Cooking is an enjoyment for me, especially when my family members eat my cooked food and enjoy it, I am very happy.

Most of the times it is a chore. On week ends, I sometimes am in the mood to cook. Since my husband is a steak and rice type of guy, cooking is not that enjoyable for me. I like to experiment with different cassoroles, and he does not like that kind of food. So then it becomes a boring chore.

I love to cook as well. It can be a bit much sometimes, especially for me cause I have to make sure the kitchen is clean before I cook. So I sort of make it a chore as well, but when the food is done I think it is well work the time spent while in the kitchen.

I definitely enjoy cooking. I cook almost everything from scratch. My children have seizures and other issues and so making everything from scratch allows me to have control over what is NOT in their food. Homemade tastes better, is better for us and we homeschool and so constant cooking is a great math tutorial!!! Besides, my 8 year old boys know how to make everything from cakes to noodles to soups and salads to full meals...they are going to make wonderful hubbies someday!!!

Im not a big baker. I find that (for me anyways) that you have to have the exact items (NOT measurements, but the ingredient) or it changes the taste tremendously or turn out even LOL. I do love to cook though. I hate following recipes. So Im one of those people that can take a pan and whatever I have on hand and make it into a meal. My husband was super picky when we first moved in together, but has learned that if he doesnt atleast try it he will go hungry unless he cooks something for himself. HAHA My mom was never that great of a cook when she cooked. I did most of the cooking when i lived with my parents, becaues most of the time they both worked nights and with being the oldest I had to feed my sister and myself. So I learned pretty quickly how to cook, with being able to call my grandma to get the basic instructions on how to do something. My husband likes to brag to the guys at work about my cooking...which makes me feel really good.

I also love cooking and it's one of my interests. It's an enjoyment for me rather than a housework. I am pleased to do so. I especially like to see my family enjoys eating my dishes. I buy cooking books and I like to try something new. I have the talent to cook. If I have a good mood, I will cook better:) I love China

Hi tanniebabe. I love cooking too. I like to create new dishes and try new recipes. I love baking too and I can do anyting I want and it comes right. One of my hobbies is cooking and baking. Have a nice day.

to be honest it is more of a chore for me because i have so much else to squeeze in every day. when i am not stressed and i have time i don't mind it so much but even then i don't LOVE it. baking i need measurments but cooking i eyeball things and i make up my own things to throw in. it comes out surprisingly good most times too.

I really used to hate at just the thought of stepping into the kitchen...but then as a wife,cooking becomes an inevitable part of everyday life...and so i started cooking...i wasnt as bad as i thought i would be...probably it runs in the blood as my Mom cooks great food....and so i picked up by-and-by...and what has made it more challenging and exciting is the fact that my husband is a big time foodie...and he loves any cuisine as long as its tasty and piping hot..and he is very appreciative of my cooking...he always encourages me....so eventually ive developed a liking for cooking...

When I was married I loved to cook. But seems since I got divorced I have lost my interest for it. It is a total chore for me now. In fact... I hate it, lol
