of course! its enjoyable. but the tiring phase of this chore is the preparation. From ingredients' selections, cleaning, peeling, slicing and the likes. However, for me i regarded cooking as an art. this is the art of mixing edible ingredients together and making somebody impressed. And for myself, i regarded this as a reward for myself. Cooking is just like inventions, although there are now uncountable recipes readily available to follow on how to make yet cooking has still plenty of oppurtunities that is not yet fully discovered.

I totally agree with you.Cooking is an art. if you try out something new and it comes out to be good,you feel rewarded.

It depends on what I'm cooking,and how I'm feeling. If I'm cooking Indian food, I have alot of fun, as I love working with the spices. If I'm feeling well, I enjoy it even more,and if I have everything I need. I especially love cooking when no one is expecting me to cook.

I love to cook. It's one of my favorite creative outlets. Plus, I can make much better tasting -- and cheaper -- food at home than I can buy in a restaurant. If I'm not in the mood to cook, I have a fwe different dishes I cook which require just about no effort, but still get us all fed.

I really enjoy cooking. I like experimenting with new foods and spices. I rarely follow a recipe, I may look at one to get some ideas but I rarely actually FOLLOW it. I like to just try new things and see how they turn out. Its fun as long as you're okay with knowing sometimes it won't turn out good! I made this chicken once that sounded really good (honey pineapple) but my husband and I both took a couple bites, threw it away and ordered pizza! :)

I really do like to cook! I take pride in being able to make a delicious meal out of something lying around in my kitchen. I also like being able to save money by cooking at home and storing/freezing extras for meals in the future. The best part about cooking is that you just keep getting better at it! When I first began cooking for myself, I was- let's say- not very good. :) But now, I can cook without needing to look at a recipe or create my own recipes out of what I have available.

I enjoy cooking, mixing items together, trying new ingredients. And the best part is I love trying out what I've cooked and eating in general. Baking is a relaxing hobby for me.

Sometime I don't like to cook. But I have to cook 2 or 3 times daily. When I am trying new things it's interesting. Any way home food is simple and give goog health!
