Im not a cook lover, or should i say i dont like to cook, what i really love to do is to eat. But recently, i started to give it a try, i was feel so bored lately, and i need also something to divert my attention from the matter of the heart. i recently try to learn some dishes from my mom, and try to cook it and serve to them, ofcourse the first try is not a successful one, but i like to cook again and make it a good one. I never think that cooking is also fun and also an interesting to do.. happy cooking..

Hi Mikaela_taz,
I am a good cook as eveyone says I am but my problem is I HATE COOKING! is because I have to, hubby can't cook won't cook as he works, so I have to cook nearly everyday, but when I do get a take-out, I don't really enjoy it as its not the same, I rather go out for a meal but we can't do that everyday,I love my home cook meal but I just hate cooking it, can't win eh?

I used to watch my Mother cook, while she cooked I chat to her about all sorts of theings, I never used to help her with the cooking but one thing I have learned was while talking to my Mum, I was taking it all in, that is why I can cook like my Mum, well, my Sister says so and whose to argue with her? lol! and my hub hates going out to eat or getting a take-out, so thats leave me to cook, sigh!

I did not used to watch either help my mother to cook, maybe because at that time i never realized that i was able to like cooking. and i really don't like to cook before, but recently i was started to watched and help her to cook so i can learned from her cooking idea and get some of her recipe.. And for chatting with our mom and watching her is a big help for us to learned some really nice and delicious foods.

You have a gift for being a good cook even you hate cooking, i guess i dont have that talent like you have but i will give it a try and do my best. i often eat also some foods that come from the fastfood aside its not health, it also sometimes its expensive. Its really nice feeling when you cook for your family, its also giving your self a fulfillment but also giving your heart to them.

I love cooking and I like making pasta.
I also like salad, fruit and vegetable salads, the fresh ones.
My friend is also a good cook and I asked her to cook some recipe when we had an event or occasion.
Yes, if you love cooking...it is always fun to do.

I have been taught how too cook before but I'm really not that adept to learn it. I think it's just for select few, especially mothers. Although I remember my ex saying to me that she enjoyed cooking because of how she can experiment how the dish will turn out.

I don't think I'll ever get that type of high. You should go ahead and pursue cooking as your course so you can get a decent job on cooking. I think there are culinary arts being offered for shorter period, I think 2 years or so. You should take that and you'll never feel like working ever again.

I love eating and also i'd love to have a try.Cooking is so amazing especially when you found that your piece of work is so great and other people is enjoying your work.Also,i think this is also a skill when we make a living.Cooking could make us become charming and anyway,it is a good way to "save"your friend.They will definitely love it.

Hi jricky, definitely feels so delighted when someone appreciated and love your cooking, that is why i really enjoy it and surely like to make my own version in every recipe that i learned. Why dont you make it a try, i know just like i am, i really enjoy and having fun with it.

I love cooking too but sadly I am not a very good cook. But still I try. The worst thing about being a bad cook is when the food turns out really awful, I hate throwing it away. I somehow manage to eat them and make my family eat them too LOL I feel bad but I feel worst about throwing food away.
Anyway whenever I am bored, I try new recipes and sometimes they turn out ok-ish sometimes good sometimes bad. I just hope I improve with time and practise

Hello Mikaela. That's wonderful that you are giving cooking a try. I am sure with your determination, it will become a success. I am also not good at cooking at all. All I can do is boil water and make some coffee, and make some boiled eggs. So, I have to go out to restaurants for lunch and dinner, or buy some pre-cooked dinner packs and warm up in the microwave.

Hi greenline, haha.. that is all i know before, my family got laughed at me everytime that i overcooked or uncooked the rice, a simple task of cook that i never got perfect, i simple fried hotdog that i burn, but thanks to my boredom its came to me to think to create or experiment something that will surpass my boredom. Aside to fill my boredom, its a good thing also that i can cook some food from my family which i never do that before. Thanks for the response.

Cooking can be fun indeed, but a lot of people simply see it as a task and therefore choose not to bother cooking anything nice for anything more than for their own evening meal. If you look at any cookery programme on TV, you can see the fun that people have while they're cooking. You might find that you would have a lot more fun if you were to cook with someone else, for example your children. Baking things such as cookies and cakes can be fun, as they're things that you can have for days later as snacks rather than just for cooking things for specific meals that would have to be eaten on that same day.

Hi
Just like anything else, cooking is also an art and only thing we should know of it to enjoy the same. Imagine who works in all types of hotels - like small tea shops to high level 5 star hotels also having cooks who make it as their profession and paid for life time. So, it is really fun and many girls or women are by default destine to do cooking and they don't have any choice or option and simply doing the job just like as it is the part of their duty. However, you have choice and can it be on your mood and taste. I think once you learn it, you will definitely will like, at least some times.
Thank-s

Yeah cooking is fun. But i prefer eating than cooking. I personally think I'm a better taster than meal creator. I always burn the rice I cook and my dish is salty. So for our best sakes, I left the kitchen to my wife. My task is to eat all she cooks. Happy myLotting!

that was great, like you i really like to explore and learn some new dishes and make my own version. I remember, my dad always told me that if i get married maybe my husband would return me to my parent because i dont know how to cook. but i guess their right, and know that i found out that cooking is really a great fun and great skill. i guess i can continue doing this so if ever i found my husband to be i'm ready and prepared to cook some foods to him and to our family.

Cooking is real fun, but the thing that gives pain is washing. I love cooking and also watch shows and recipes on TV. Nizela's cooking show is my favorite in travel and living channel. The best thing of cooking is when we get appreciation for cooking from our near and dear ones.
