Humiliating? Why? We've washed the dishes forever at home! We've had the dishwasher for months only. But once you try it, you see how easy it is to do the washing up! :D

I dont like cooking. I always feel sick of eating after I cooked. But, I like cleaning, especially in a bad mood. So, my teacher said just made me angry, then the room would be tidy and clean. I love dish washing. :lol:

I'm really lazy to wash the dishes too. If there's anyone who helps me that, I can cook all day! :)

I like cooking and can try to cook many new dishes. The result sometimes it's not good, and I think we have to fail some and we will be successful later! ^^ My bad result, uhm... my husband always eat and encourage my ability... ^^ And now I can do better!

I'm not sure what food this take-away food is, but I guess I'm fine with that. Please don't cook for me. I don't like waiting until food is cooked.

Take away food is anything you bring to your home that's prepared already. Mcdonalds, KFC, etc

I like cooking (actually started to cook at an early age :-) )... and while waiting for the dish to be done I wash the utensils I have used and want to see the kitchen neat once the food is ready.

I adore eating, and even I want to cook, despite the fact that I am a decent cooker yet. all things considered, I pondered it what I would do after my secondary school; which is going to culinary school. anyway I didn't went.

:-D Hello everyone!!! My name is Gabriela, I just entered this page, so I am glad to be here...
I have chosen this forum because I love to cook and I know that I am quite good at it.
I love it when I share my food with others since them face says it all... Like many of you, I like to cooking but I don't like cleaning, so I apply in my house "I cook, you wash the dishes" and it's beautiful :lol:
By the way, I'm Mexican so if you're interested in having any recipe on your palate, don't hesitate to ask me ;-)

Oh, I hate cooking!
It takes so much time! For me, it's better to eat out or buy takeaways. And yes, washing dirty dishes is horrible.

I love it. It's my favourite way to relax and one of my favourite hobbies. It's also a way I like to show affection; I love cooking for my friends, family, coworkers, anyone for whom I want to do something nice.
I enjoy baking bread, pie, cakes, cookies. I like making doughnuts and muffins. I like making pizza. I like trying to make food from different cultures.

I didn't like to cook about quarantine. Now I have no choice, so I look for new recipes, I cook only what is interesting. But I don't like things that take a long time to cook, I just don't have that much time for it. Now I'm learning how to make pizza.

I loveeeee cooking!! Cooking is one of my favourite things to do! I prefer baking because is easier but I love making meals too! Normally every weekend I make a cake or some cupcakes for the week. Saturdays usually I make pizza for dinner and while we eat we watch a series or film! Some friends friends say me to cook or bake for them because they say that I do it very good, but I don't think so, 'cause once the frosting melted. :lol:

What I like in cooking is that I can improvise and is not necessary to follow a recipe. So I always have the possibility to make better tasting foods and innovation. I prefer to use many spices and herbs for a better and richer flavor. My favorite cousin is Indian.

Yes I do, but I'm a new cooker so if I cook lunch, I can eat usually at dinner time.

Yes, I like cooking. My favorite is omelette. I can eat omelettes in every meal. But, I like it with veggies. For instance, I ate omelette with broccoli, also with a huge pan of salad and cheese for dinner {-:

Oh I enjoy cooking very much! The smiles that everyone has either while or after they eat is what I love about it. I also enjoy other people's cooking. I am not a picky gal so trying new things is something else I enjoy about cooking.

I like cooking. After I got married, I started to cook. I’m still a beginner, I like searching how to cook in Youtube. There are lots of easy cook ways. And the videos show how much easy and simple. Sometimes, I can cook without any recipes. After I complete my cook, I’m very proud of myself. I hope I create my own dishes someday.

This is exactly how I feel. I've worked hard to progress from novice to competent cook. It accounts for a significant portion of my contribution to my family's life. I know what we have, how much I paid for it, and what I can do with it. I can throw together a dinner for six people at the drop of a hat with restaurant-quality results. I can do it faster than anyone else in the room. I imagine myself as a translator taking my family on vacation to a foreign country. They could live without me, but I try to make it as easy as possible for them.

minasyu wrote: Fri Dec 16, 2005 2:50 am I like to cook because I want to let others eat my cooking products. I want to see their face with a smile when they feel my foods are tasty and good. I would feel happy when I see their smile and eating happily. Since those foods are being cooked by my hard, heart and love. I hope that they can feel it.

However, I do not like to clean and wash the dishes and tools. It is because those dishes and tools are oily and dirty. They are different to clean and wash.

Therefore, I always have the problem of cook and clean. I love cook, but I hate clean.
I only love to cook unconventional or sweet food and try new recipes, but I hate cooking everyday food
