I'm a lousy cook; therefore, I avoid cooking.
-
I haven't been to culinary school but the food I cook is acceptable to many people.
-
ABSOLUTELY LOUSY , I can burn micromeals even when following the instructions.
-
I love to cook, but i have many years of practice to get as good as my mum is. I make edible, sometimes even delicious foods, but generally just edible meals. I'm pretty good at baking stuff though, biscuits etc.
-
i can only cook eggs, cereals, toasts, and snadwich...
-
i honestly suck but i can make a hell of a mac and cheese.
-
I am an excellent cook. I am an aspiring gourmet. I am on a quest to cook food from every nation. I have, this year, done Mexican, Italian, Ethiopian, Armenian, Thai, and India. They all (except the Italian) came out very good. Although I'm not like my friend who's going to the CIA for a BS in desert-making, I consider myself pretty good. I can't cook Mac 'n' Cheese, but I can make homemade humus, chocolate truffles, Ethiopan meat stews, and enchiladas verdes.
-
I am a very good cook. It's just a shame that no-one else shares my point of view.
-
I'm a good cook. At least that is what people tell me.:)
-
If i would have to choose one or another, i would say good. in 9'th grade i got first a 5 on my midterm, and then a 4.
-
I'm a good cook ---when I want to cook. Just not my favorite thing to do. My kids love me to fix breakfast which is one of my best meals but I also make some mean cheese and beef enchiladas. I've even made a cake from scratch which wasn't easy!
-
My family says I'm a great cook. My husband is always bragging about me to his co-workers. He takes left overs and ocassionally lets them try it. My specialty is sweets, however. I love making cakes, cookies, etc. Although, for some reason, I can't make brownies to save my life. They either turn out as hard as hockey pucks or you have to eat them out of the pan with a spoon. Go figure!
-
My kids say I'm a great cook - cos I don't do salad or veggies very well. Do great family roasts, fry ups etc. My wife, on the other hand, is inclined not to eat too much of my cooking as it's far too unhealthy!
-
I guess not so good. I am a chef at Taco Bells.
-
I'm honestly lousy because I never practice enough, I could be a lot better.
-
I am an excellent cook if you enjoy being poisoned when you eat
-
Lousy. Which is odd considering both of my parents are excellent cooks. It's a good thing my boyfriend can cook or we'd starve to death.
-
Let me put it this way. I should be legaly obligated to wear a sign saying "Do not eat anything you get from this man."
-
I love to cook.. Growing up, my mom's dad was a chef, and my mom and dad both cooked for nearly every meal. Now I am 29 and live with two friends who, along with my girlfriend, make me cook at least once a day, so I guess I am a good cook.
-
I love to cook, and know how to do a good variety of dishes.
-
I hope so. They've been paying me to do it for the last 22 years;)
-
I think so. No ones ever spit the food that I've prepared out, and I usually get complimented, I'm good for my age. None of my friends can cook anything unless it comes out of a box..
-
yes.specialised in vegetarian dishes.
-
Sure. I can cook pretty much anything as long as I have the kitchen equipment and the ingredients.
-
Yes ... and I'm a certified nutritionist too.
-
Yes, it is one of my passions and I am always trying to improve and make things better. And I love to share my passion for food with others. I think that is one of the things that helps you be a good cook, is cooking with love for others.
-
Yes I have been told many times I do really good steak and cakes :)
-
Well no one has ever gotten sick from my cooking, so I guess I am a good cook.
-
Yeah Man! I make a mean peanut butter pie. That's right i'm a man that loves to cook.
-
Not to be big headed or anything but I am an awesome cook.
-
Yes I am. I love cooking and really try to get as much good flavor in everything I cook or bake. I try to improve in each dish.
-
I'm an excellent cook!

I'm a pretty decent cook. I make a great meatloaf.

I'm good at following the directions on the box. or recipe, I'm not good at remembering recipes for complicated meals. so, I'm a good cook but I generally only get to cook mac n cheese or rice a roni.

-
Since I Love to cook and bake and do it often, I think I'm a pretty good cook. It brings me great joy to cook for others and they enjoy eating my food:-)
-
Pancakes and fried potatoes. I also can do interesting things with ramen because I had to LIVE on it for some time. That is about it. Other than that one word suffices: microwave.
-
I do alright for a man.
-
Ya I'm a good cook and it's because I enjoy cooking not because I have to cook! : )
-
Enough to survive but nothing fancy. I can cook a steak, bake cakes and all kinds of basic cooking.
-
My girlfriend doesn't think so because i made some rice in a package and i messed it up. I can make great frozen foods. Thats cooking
-
You bet. I love cooking. Not a chef, I can get fancy but mainly just good eating food.
-
Yeah maybe. I'm good at making and cooking fresh pasta, and a lot of international dishes. Lately it's been greek cuisine. but pasta... I love making pasta. my mother just bought me a new pasta maker for my birthday on friday(12-12)
-
No, I'm horrible at it. Seriously, I *just* learned how to make hamburger helper, that was my biggest accomplishment of 2008. Good thing my boyfriend is like chef status ;)

I'd say it runs in the family and I'm one hell of a great iron chef!

My dog and I don't starve and I no longer need the fire extinguisher but nobody would pay to eat the food so..I guess that's up for interpretation

-
Everyone tells me I am. And I do seem to have a natural talent for it. And I can cook anything, from down-home dishes to haute cuisine. The only things that I ususally bake though are breads; not so much on the cookies, cakes, etc. Although I do a mean peach cobbler. ;)
-
I cook but I'm not bragging about it. My food is edible.

I am tremendous at cooking.
