Are you a good cook? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice · 06-14-2004, 07:50 PM

I'm a very good cook if I may say so myself. I cook Italian food the best....eggplant parmigiana, lasagne, meatballs, chicken or shrimp cacciatore, chicken with broccoli & ziti, fettucine alfredo.

I'm good with fish too. I make good baked stuffed shrimp or lobster tails with crabmeat stuffing.

My twice baked potatoes are to die for.

I'm not into baking though. I go to a top-notch bakery for those goodies.

What do you cook the best?

I make great microwave popcorn. Also, my ramen is to die for!

Kazza · 06-14-2004, 07:55 PM

Nothing!

or rather very little! I buy mostly from microwave to table food which is convenient when you have little kids or are too tired to cook. Once in a blue moon I cook a 'special meal'. I'm good at baking cakes; I haven't burned one yet.

I'm not much of a cooker at all...

But I make some REALLY great homemade desserts! (not the storebrought kind!) Everybody raves over my brownies on the rare occasion I make them.

Im good at baking, but it only comes out good the first time. For nail school, I made a chocolate raspberry cheesecake that was soooo good. Every time after I made it, something always went wrong. I made a really good eggnog bundt cake too. My fav. to make that always come out good is my double chocolate cookies with chocolate chips and dried cranberries. I got the recipe off the back of the Craisins bag and theyre awesome. Other than that, anything else I cook is like, mac & cheese. But even that I cheat- hell I buy ez mac now.

Top-notch. It's all in my dialing technique.

Cashodeen · 06-14-2004, 08:05 PM

I don't cook very often. My mom still cooks for me, haha. She sounds a lot like you Janice... she makes some of the things you mentioned. I'm a very picky eater so it's a good thing I ended up with a mom who can cook as perfectly as she does. My dad's actually a very good cook too, but he rarely does it.

What do I cook the best? Well, that's hard to say since I haven't tried much. I just fry/deep fry stuff and rarely I'll make desserts.

I can make cheddar cheese sauce for broccoli or cauliflower and
I can make pasta with parmesan chesse and olive oil or pasta
alfredo(with the white sauce but parmesan instead of cheddar),
as well as pinto or red beans with rice. I also make a salad of
green pepper, tomatoes, cheese and ranch dressing.

I'm not a good cook at all. I don't even enjoy cooking. Thank God for microwaves.

Small Wonderian · 06-14-2004, 08:12 PM

My family has given me plenty of great compliments on my cooking, but I just don't cook often enough.

TJL · 06-14-2004, 08:14 PM

I'm no Chef Boyardee, but I do allright.

I do have some cookbooks and recipes I've saved over the years, and if the box comes with directions, I'm pretty sure I can whip up a meal without burning the building down or giving myself food poisoning.

My sister was the same way. She didn't enjoy cooking, so her cooking wasn't that great. It stands to reason that a person won't excel at something they don't like doing it.
