I love to cook and do the cooking most of the time at home. It's really my passion and I think I'm good at it. I love cooking viands and deserts too. I think, I got it from my mom who loves to cook too. I am planning to enroll myself into a cooking class this summer to further enhance the skills I have in cooking and I think it would help a lot if I would have a formal education regarding cooking. I am so happy that the food I'm cooking is good, my family can attest to it. I hope that I can have more time to cook and experiment in the kitchen.

yeah,dong88. I prefer cooking at home instead of dining out.
The advantage of cooking at home is that you know it is healthy ingredients and it is fresh. and you can experiment on any dish,having some twist of this and that...
I really love cooking because it is my passion.

I'm living by myself, so if I don't cook I would have to feed myself in instant noodles and pre-made meals from the convenience store, so I prefer to cook. This way I can have a balanced diet and keep my body healthy.
Everyone when living by themselves have to learn to cook sooner or later. I learned before that to be prepared to support myself, and I'm happy I did.

I am staying outside my hometown for my career. I personally cook everyday after coming back from office. Actually I like to eat hand made food rather than buying from outside. even when I call frnds for dinner, then also I prepare food by myself. and my frnds also tells me that I am a good cook. Actually some years back when i was at home, I learnt cooking from my mother. I used to assist her whenever I was free. after coming to another city, now I think that period was really beneficial for me. But most of the cuisine I learnt after coming here only and that too from cook books. I try new menus most often and sometimes it results in yummy tasty dishes.

I like cooking by myself .I think it is a very demanding art so I often refer to reference book for cooking in order to constantly improve it.

I love to cook! It is something I´m doing just in these last years but it has given me a way to relax as you say and it is very rewarding.
When I was a child, cooking was mostly a woman´s job in my country. But now, men take pride for what they do in the kitchen and they receive the applause they deserve
Some cooking sites send me recipes online, I have lots of cook books but lately I just look at my fridge and pantry and start daydreaming...
Happt posting!

Being in the kitchen is like going for an adventure to me. I can relax and focus on what I want to cook. I enjoy seeing my family eat what I have prepared for them bu sometime when I hear a complaint about its not the food they want to have I get a little upset since I have spend precious time in the kitchen and yet my had work did not pay off. But never the less I like to cook.

Yes, most of the time. My fiancee tries to cook, but he is really not good at it, and ordering in all the time is way too expensive. So I have to!

I used to love to cook. My husband loves to cook. He's a much better cook than I am. We also enjoy cooking together. I tell people who are looking at ways to save money to take a cooking class. It gives you inspiration to cook at home more.

Hello Dong, i love cooking for both of us - me and my boyfriend. I even love when i have to make week schedule for cooking and when i have products.
Lately i understood how creative can be one person who doesn't have so much money for the meal, but still need to eat something. Every kind of ideas comes in my mind, when i got simple products.

There was a time in my life that i was a plain housewife. I do the cooking myself, and i would vary my menu everytime so that my family will not get the bad feeling of having to eat the same food over and over again.
In my desire to do that, i acquired the skill in cooking even the most simple meal into something so palatable. I could see it on the faces of my family, however, i still prefer that they be vocal about it, so i would ask them if what i cooked was delicious. Only then would they say . . yes and i can see that they really mean it! That takes away all my tiredness from cooking and washing the used utensils!
However, i am now again full time working at an office and i got to cook only on Sunday night. My mother- in- law does the cooking during the weekdays. But i miss cooking and this past holidays i did a lot of cooking for the occasion. But it was worth it! They liked all that i cooked !

I'm also male and I love to cook, when I was young I never cooked and was even afraid just to open the gas stove, I just let the maids, my mom and my elder sister do the cooking, but after she got married I decided to learn because I could not eat the foods I wanted to eat anymore, there was no internet then so I memorized recipes in the bookstore while pretending to be reading because buying cook books was very expensive then and I did not have a stable source of income, I became quite good at cooking, I even taught my wife to cook when I got married and now she cooks better than me
