Who is the chef or best cook in your household? In our home, I would give that title to my nephew who showed an interest in culinary activities from age ten, and plans to open a restaurant very soon. I am pretty good in the kitchen too - but I prepare vegetarian dishes mostly. I also love to bake --that is a great stress buster for me. Those who have tasted, love my oatmeal cookies, vegetable pies, carrot cake , wholewheat bread and rolls. So, do you like cooking? Who rules your kitchen? And what dishes do you like making?

I love to cook and bake. But no one rules our kitchen. My husband will surprise me with a meal once in awhile.

Let's just say I am the one who uses the kitchen the most. I cook the everyday meals and sometimes bake. Hubby will make breakfast on weekends . . . he doesn't cook much but at least he is more creative in the kitchen than I am. My daughter will try to cook and bake too. But I do it the most.

Yes I love cooking and I rule my kitchen no problems except it is way too small. Dishes I like to make are everything and mostly no recipes just what I make up.

Since I live alone, that would be me. I love to cook and bake. I've been doing quite a bit of that since I moved here. As for the best cook in the family, that would be my daughter. She just has a natural knack for it.

I've always enjoyed cooking for my family, although I'm not the world's best cook. I've improved over the years, but now that the kids are grown, I don't cook a big meal every day. sometimes we eat out.

Eating out is nice too. Wonderful to sit in a restaurant with a great ambience and enjoy a meal prepared by someone else.

I only wash the dishes. My wife rules & the kitchen is under her control. I don't mind and would not have it any other way. She prepares the meals in our home. She loves to try new recipes and is best when I get the right ingredients for her to take those recipes out of the book and onto a table for us to enjoy.

Some women dislike having a man underfoot when they are busy in the kitchen, but others don't mind at all. Your wife obviously loves cooking - and I know - it is so much nicer when you have the right ingredients for recipes.

I am home most on the week days so I cook then. My hubby is home on weekends so he likes to cook then. We've followed a vegetarian diet for just over a year now and I am trying to be very skimpy on refined sugar. We cook/bake from scratch. I make fruit pies still but add cinnamon and ginger and no sugar. Vegie pot pie are very tasty!

I am also trying to cut down on the sugar I use. In my banana cakes, carrot cakes and oatmeal cookies, I use raisins and a bit of honey - the banana and carrot do add their own sweetness as well.
