Yes I know to cook,
I may be young but i can cook my own dinners and lunch. I voted Yes in your Poll. By the way for those who don't know how to cook very well Heres some tips!

1. Don't worry about exact mesuring justadd the amount you think is just right. (it won't be good at first!) but after time you'll get use to it.

2. Get some fresh fruits; don't use canned food it may be easy but it alot more less tastier! Fresh food tastes much better.

3. Moms know best; It may be a drag but it's true moms do know alot when it come to cooking so if your not sure how to do something just nask her (if you still can't ask, just buy some books!)

Cooking is awesome, basically chemisty but you can eat it after your done :-D

Today I woke up and cooked a huge lunch for my family, had some frozen chicken breasts in the freezer thawed them out and put them on the grill while painting them with bbq sauce, it turbned out awesome, I even make a mexican style fajita (sp?) but cheder, white, and american grated/minced cheese on the wrap, melted it with teh grill and cut up some bbq chicken I made to roll it over, put some cheese on the outside so it would 'seal' itself and nothig would fall out..was the greatest luncyh i haev ever self made in a while and everyboyd loved it!

It took me about an hour total from thinking of the idea, preping the food, cooking the food, and clean up ugg the dreaded cleanup tongue.gif

I'm not exactly a grand chef, but I can cook a meal or two smile.gif

Basicaly, my cookbook consists of the following dishes:
1. Eggs (different variations, omelette, scrambled, with bacon, with ham, with green stuff in it...)
2. Instant soups (yeah, those bagged soups) - but I'm learning to make a real soup, the one that cooks for several hours smile.gif
3. I can make pancakes (not those hiddeous American thick pancakes, but those lovely thin pancakes)
4. I can make gritz (it's some kind of wheat product, or something, and it's cooked with milk... yummy)
5. I can make fabulous chicken white meat, with ham and cheese, with orange sauce (wonderfull combination)
6. probably all sorts of chinese meals (you basicaly chop everything and cook it smile.gif)
7. other meals that don't require much intervention from me smile.gif

The point is, I'm still learning to cook, slowly (because my parrents cook, and I don't need to yet, but I like to surprise them once in a while smile.gif), and I wouldn't starve... smile.gif

Cooking is somewhat of an art, and much effort and love need to be put into cooking, in order for meals to be prepared properly, and be tasty...

But, I much more prefer to eat laugh.gif

GO CHEFS! laugh.gif

wohooooooooo! good thing i saw this topic on the list. hehe haven't i said before that i love to cook? cooking is my passion. cooking is my past time, and it's the only thing that removes all the stress. when i have enough money (after getting a job), i'll enroll to a culinary school to be a chef.

true true, cooking is an art, but cooking doesn't have to be boring. i try to enjoy every moment of cooking. and of course, the best part of all is eating the food that you've made. what would be better than that?

if you want to know how to cook, basically start of on how to boil water. funny as it may sound, but most people laugh when they hear that. it's the most basic, like learning ABC.

My mother usually cooks for me, but if I want to make something and she doesn't want to make it for me, I'll cook for myself.

I don't really think you need to take a class to learn how to cook. Just go online and get a few simple free recipies to start. In no time, you'll be able to cook full meals by memory.

Although once-in-a-while I do like to get a TV dinner or buy some fast food.

lol have fun in the classes

ive been growing up in a family that cooks!!! my mom used to work at a family resturant (its closed now) when she was a teenager and early 20s.... and well ive learned from her and her mom how to cook

my uncle on my moms side was a chef at a resturaunt and ive also learned alot from him

over the years ive gotten better at cooking just a week about i made a cheese cake and a jamilya. and im looking at new things to make that are out of the ordinary!!!

cooking is a hobby you have to enjoy it and put love into the making of it otherwise it can taste like *BLEEP*...

i love cooking and all of my concoctions end up being very delicious

all i can say as a fellow cooker is expirament and dont be afriad to have fun with it the worse that happens is it tastes like crap and you throw it out and blow a few bucks on it... but its not the end of the world...
