I love cooking by myself and create new recipes of my own. But I prefer to cook alone and no one should be around. Our kitchen is not big enough for others to stay in too. I feel that I can move well if they hang out. Sometimes I will try recipes out of book and see the result before preparing for my family. Not all taste as good as they said. Pictures can be deceiving too.

Yes, I do.. I really love cooking.. i have inherited the genes from my mom's side of the family.. They are a family of good cooks! yes, i know how to create good dishes but i must admit that i am not as good as my mom.. she's a great cook, she can make anything from scratch.. Since I am living in a condo unit with hubby and there's no one would do the cooking aside from me, i just volunteer myself and do the work.. my specialty is Filipino cuisine, my hubby's favorite!

It will be most unlikely we will able to surpass our mother, I have tried for years and I can't even beat her in my specialty, I think her love towards us has made the food much more delicious. actually I have theories about that, when you cook for someone dear to you, you put much more attention to your cooking, resulting the better taste you can archive than your usual cooking, I have notice this when the first I made my mom some dish because she was sick and cannot get up from the bed, I was amazed at myself, I have never imagine I can create such taste. Love is something wonderful isn't it ?

I enjoy cooking, but I don't like to cook for myself. I loved cooking for my kids and husband, but alas hubby has passed on and the kids are grown now. I do however have a job as a cook in a small retirement home, so I still do get to cook and I really enjoy it.

Cooking and me???? Ok, I am able to cooke rice and dal and at the most egg curry. Before my marriage I stayed with one of my colleagues and I had to cook for one time and I was specialist in this menu. Or else do not ask.

Hi,umamahe I am interested in cooking too,but I seldom cook at present because I live in college and don't have a kitchen.I only cook when I return home.I want to cook as long as I have time.Cooking is really interesting!

Yes,I like do some simple cooking by myself.If I am free,I will go to the food market nearby to buy some fresh vegetables and fish or meat.I usually keep the food original taste and put a little spice when I am cooking.Though sometimes it is not delious, it is clean and benifit for health. By the way, I like noodles very much.

I do like to cook by myself but I don't mind other around the kitchen. Sometimes it's good to do things alone esecially when I try new things and experamanting with food. If it turns out bad you won't be embarresed about it and if it's good you can make it again for company.

I love to cook, and I love to try out new foods. I often invite friends over and cook something new for them. My kitchen is small, so I prefer to cook alone, but my kids really want to help. So, when it's just for family and there's no rush to get food on the table, I let them help me prepare dinner. I would absolutely love to have an entertaining type of kitchen, and I would be sure to use one, but my house isn't quite big enough for something like that.

I like cooking by myself but for others that are of course in the house while i am cooking. If i am in the kitchen cooking i really don't want others in their with me because i need my space and my time to myself. I find that cooking can be a relaxing time for yourself if you like to do and aren't in a hurry. When in a hurry cooking and trying to whip something up you can become stressed and the meal won't turn out good. You need to set aside some time to cook everyday for yourself and the family. I rarely cook something just for myself because if i am turning on the oven or the stove then i am going to cook a meal so I'm not wasting electricity and then getting the hoouse all hot.

Its much easier for me to do the cooking by myself and most of the time faster too but the kids like to help out every now and again so I let them. I have a small kitchen right now so it makes it hard for more than like 2 people to be in it at once so I try to avoid having anyone else in there with me. I make just about everything. Some days Ill cook all day and others Ill just do dinner or whatever.

cooking and eating is part of my stress relieve activity. I did cook on regular basis, mostly for dinner, I made sure I'm not using my mother raw ingredients tough, I have my own stock for my cooking 'experiment' purpose. so if I'm screw up, they cannot blame it on me. (there was a time where I burnt my fried rice, it's bitter T_T but I ended up eating it all)
