Happy cooking

I just don't only for myself as what I eat is pretty easy to make (I'm a vegetarian) and won't kill me if it's undercooked

lol, that's awesome! I have to read directions before I make anything (the fam recipes have gone out the window with me because I just cannot learn them)

I am ok at cooking, but I only really know how to make one thing...vegetarian chili....

I'm pretty good at cooking, and don't have any trouble following a recipe. It takes me ages though, because it always seems to take me way longer than the directions indicate to do the prep.

I'm good at cooking and organizing.

I'm good at cooking.

I am deeply pants at cooking.

I love cooking and I'm excellant at it. I didn't realize I was until well into adulthood because my mother. I hadve an aversion to things that remind me of her, like the kitchen (she's an awful cook, and her kitchen cleaning skills are atrocious). Thankfully I got over that particular aversion, because I prefer cooking for myself than eating food cooked by other people.

I can recommend the Food Network series "Good Eats with Alton Brown" if you have cable. It comes on twicec a day in the eveing on most weekdays (three times on Wdnesday). It goes more into the science of cooking as well as covers basic skills (including scrambled eggs). Alton Brown's books are good, but expensive - you may wish to peruse them at the bookstore instead of buying them. Also at foodnwtowrk.com, the Alton Brown page has a few video lessons that may be of interest.

The multi-tasking aspect of cooking a meal makes me panic, and I really resent having to clean up afterwards!

I have trouble making things that involve a lot of ingredients and multi-tasking. I have to read the directions over and over and have all the ingredients out before I start. I have to plan exactly how I'm going to coordinate everything and know where everything has to be and when.

I think I could be good at cooking if given the chance. I would want to be told what to do and left alone to do it, though. Or have someone there to tell me what to do without interferring or making me panic. The multi-tasking aspect involved in some cooking, I find difficult, and also I have no real concept of time so I'd rely a lot on alarms and suchlike. I would probably do better to learn specific dishes and practise. I don't really get the oppurtunity to practise much, although I might look up some simple recipes at some point and ask my mum if she fancies helping me learn how to cook.

I might fail miserably, but if I wasn't under pressure to get it exactly right it might be fun trying.

I just recently started cooking, and I'm actually really good at it!

I don't think I could ever match my mother when it comes to cooking.

I'm average at cooking already known recipes and EXCELLENT at cooking my own food... I have a good imagination for food and I just know that some ingredients will taste good together even though I've never cooked it before.
