Well the most common thing at homes are female cook like my mother! But i was wondering how many of u guys here do cook.I mean MALE! i cook pretty much alot of stuff, i like to be in the kitchen when i was a kid and so i adapted it from my mom! Cooking is fun i feel and it helps you get relaxed from ur tension sometimes!

Cooking appeals to the creative, scientific (chemistry) side of the brain. I not only cook, I bake bread, brew melomel (mead with huckleberries or blueberries), and I brew beer. It's most satisfying when the work is done, but it can be a bit tedious too. I can spend all day on a brew and several hours more between the initial brewing and the bottling. Bread is not so bad, just start out with a decent recipe and start experimenting until you've got your loaf. I use a bread machine personally. Makes a consistent loaf every time.

I don't cook much, only a few dishes and well many of the boil-and-eat type of foodstuffs, I know this ain't much but I am interested in cooking alot, I have been cooking for like 4 months now, lol, but I'm just 14 so I guess it's okay.

Cooking is fun and I never realised how much I enjoyed it until I was forced to bake my sister's surprise birthday cake. My favourite recipe must be home-made burgers and chips; experimenting with putting different herbs and spices inside the meat and seeing what works best.

I'm currently doing work experience in a kitchen, which is not so much fun as at home but the staff said they'd lend me some of their recipes - I might try them out over the weekend.

The best part is at the end when you get to try your own food.

I generally like to make soups - I like the different tastes/consistency you can get by experimenting with different ingredients. Then again, where I live we have lots of truly fresh vegetables in summer, so you can brew up some excellent soups.

When I was younger, my favourite bit of cooking was using the barbeque. Must be something about the char-broiled smell of burgers, steaks and hot dogs. Apart from that, I also like making tacos and pancakes for breakfast. Pity my cooking experience goes only a little beyond that.

I cook too, well even the worst thig I've prepared tasted better than anything my girl can come up with. Anyway usually I experiment with exteme mixing of different ingridient and if all goes well .... yum. If not....heck I know I'll do better nezt time.

Most of world’s renowned chefs are male, which I find somewhat ironic as traditionally, women are the household cooks. But maybe it’s this very fact that leads to the preponderance of professional male chefs. I mean, when you’re not forced to do something from the cot, you’re more likely to take it up because you really enjoy doing it, not because you have to.

I really like to cook, I even went to a course, but the only problem is time! damn time! Most meals I learned to cook take about 45 minutes, especially dinner meals. And by the time I finish eating the meal over an hour has passed, add about 12 more if I have time to wash the dishes too. But, yeah, it is a lot of fun. Nothing like making your own food just the way you like it.
