I'm not a master chef by any means but I'm not a bad cook either. Like Rush I had to learn young and I've always enjoyed it, but living the single life all these years meant learning or eating frozen pizza's  every night  ':dead:'  I love to experiment in the kitchen and will come up with recipes for whatever happens to be in the cabnets and 'fridge.

I'm an excellent cook, so long as the food I prepare comes in a box in the frozen foods section ':p'

Seriously, about the most extravagant food I can make from scratch is a deli meat sandwich.

I predict a long future of Campbell's soup and Hot Pockets.

I can currently make Ramen and mac n cheese, but I'm gonna have to learn to cook a bit better before this summer when I have to share an apartment for summer work. (Yay! Summer chemistry!'<img'>

Anything I learn to make, I can make really good, but I am too lazy to learn much, and don't really enjoy it, so I picked "I know how to make Top Ramen and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese."

Been cooking since I was 10 (I'm the oldest so it was my duty to)ever since my mom and little brother were abandoned by my father.  Basicly it's pretty easy and unless you botch things up completly IE burning or over spicing you can usually eat your mistake. Cooking seems to be a lost art in the age of microwaves. Funny but I can usualy out cook most of the women I meet not trying to be mean but most women don't take interest in trivial things like cooking anymore.

I have a combi microwave, and there's a great Chinese takeaway across the road. I could cook something, but it takes ten times as long and it usually doesn't taste as good. '<img'>

At this moment I considering what to do for lunch and, although I often cook something, right now I'm thinking of wimping out and ordering a pizza.  I didn't know how to cook until I moved away from my folks - my mom was rather, hm, proprietary when it came to the kitchen - but I do enjoy cooking when I'm not too tired or busy.  And it gave me something to do when I was on my own in Seattle for the first few months.

But my fursona likes grass and clover so he doesn't cook much.  '<img'>

I used to really be into cooking a few years ago. But our old cooker broke down (it was something like 40 years old), and I'm convinced our new one is possessed. It will horrifically burn anything you put in it, it generates its own unusual burnt-on substances even if you clean it before use, and it doesn't have a grill, so I can't even make cheese on toast quickly anymore. So I've kinda cut back on it since getting the new one, which is a pity.

I'm no super-duper chef, but there are times I just want to cook. I have a few recipes that I use, from my father and grandmother. Although most of my cooking is experimental, and my "recipes" little more than a spice list, I *do* make some good stuff, if I say so myself.

I grew up in a one-parent house, and since my father worked and I was the oldest, I got to make supper a lot as a teen. So I've learned the basics.

I grew up 2 parents, but my poor ma, she could only cook roast and mashed potatoes without making us sick '<img'> So I took over cooking at about 12.

I love cooking. I haven't had time to do it much because of school, but during the summer I cook a lot.

I do like to cook, but who has time? Not me. When the Kits are with me, Yep, I'll cook. when they are away, I eat leftovers or spaghetti or just not eat. I don't require much food.
I do specialize in some things though, I'm great cooking on the BBQ grill and I make some goooood chilie, and my Beef Jerky is getting pretty famous, too! '<img'>

Having worked in a combination restaurant/catering business for the 11 years, I know my way around the kitchen and refrigerator pretty well.  '<img'>  I'll cook if I'm not too tired or busy but otherwise I'll just throw something in the microwave, especially on Friday nights after a long hard week of working.

i love to cook.. it was accualy my career choice to become a chef a few years ago but buisness has perked my intrest more so i thought about combining the two..

right now ive begun drawing out plans for a resturant.. more of a bar and grill. but family oriented and with a much wider varaty of menu. alot like the keg steak house in a way.

I'm awesome with shakes, smoothies, and anything that goes into the blender. Otherwise I can cook very simple things, most of which go into the microwave. Makes me feel like I'm still 13 or something. ':p'

I pretty much cook myself something like spaghetti, fried rice, pancakes, spicy ramen (with extra vegetables and eggs), pan fried steak, and french toast.
